Ash I agree they're two terrific events and I would urge any Queenslanders who have not yet been to the Nationals to make every effort to get there this year. The iffy weather is more than compensated for by the on-track action and the nightly shenanigans. And how good will it be to be there for the trophy presentation evening this year when Wazza sticks it to the cockies with the mighty Maroons having trounced the unbelievers for a seventh straight time!!!
The stop-off at the Bellingen motel on the way home, hopefully this year with the King and Queen Cobra trophies firmly tucked into Queensland luggage where they belong, is the perfect icing on the cake for what is always an unforgettable few days.
As a personal thought, and with no original or continuation Cobras likely to be in attendance, I think it would be fitting for one of Craig White's Absolute Pace/Kirkhams to do a tribute lap in honour of the late Carroll Shelby, without whom all of our lives would have been so different. With silence in the pits, the sound of a lone alloy-bodied big block Cobra circulating around Wakefield Park in memory of the great man would bring a lump to anybody's throat.
Unfortunately going to Goodwood has drained my fun money for the rest of the year. It's been on my bucket list since long before the term "bucket list" was coined and I know it will be worth any temporary financial impoverishment. So I won't be able to get to the Nationals but I'll be at Shannons as a spectator.
And Spook, keep that free beer for next year OK?
