So How did the Pace cars go on their first nationals outing. Did they handle well?

Cheers

Default Black Mongrel ..

The weekend has passed but some things will always stick and that is the bad sportsmanship comradeship that flows through certain members of your Club. It is a minority not the majority and unfortunately this just could be the reason why this historic event is on its last days which appeared prevalent in the extreme low numbers present this year. I myself a very keen competitor ,was particularly keen to participate in this event . I was refused 2 entries based on the fact I probably ask too many questions . I make no apologies for this you see cause unlike most I am I am happy to go the extra mile t get an even better result than the last. I don't stand still I keep moving and this is why I hold as many titles as I do and have countless successions in all that I do both personally and professionally. It is unfortunate that you have formed an opinion when you don't even know me, cause if you took the time to think outside your square ,you would see all that my mates and family see. I am the first to raise my hand at most events and offer the BLack Mongrel if I know it can support a charity or raise money for someone who has less than I do . I have a great following of supporters for this reason alongside the fact that this is a great car and I drive it well. ANd that is what the spectators come to see at the end of the day. I am passionate in all that I do ,unfortunately you have misconstrued this .And made it once again based on my personality .AT the end of the day it is not about our indifferences but what brings us together and I think it is fair to say we all have the same agenda to race and have some fun. I have been left to answering to my sponsors as to why my refusal to enter was left only weeks before nationals and why on one hand you insist I needed to be a member to enter and every where I turn no one would allow me membership. I had no chance at all . From where I sit I am quite happy to not be a member of your club as this is quite a poor display and I would like to consider myself that eagle and will be leaving you turkeys to get on with whatever it is you are doing.

Create your own club like Laurie Did. You can be in it with all your friends.

The 21st Nationals was an awesome event - the lowish numbers were an exception this year - we were about to count 15+ people who would be there if they could but circumstances beyond their control were unable to attend. It will be back again next year better than ever.

Cheers

The pace did a few laps before breaking its engine. One of a few fords that went bang over the weekend. Not sure how it went before that but brad did find out how to point backwards a couple of times at the fish hook. The AP crew were watching on like nervous parents....

That's a shame after all the work Brad has put into it. Hope he can get the motor sorted and back on the road to enjoy the rest of summer.

Cheers
