[Vagabond]

Will come and spectate, out of practice being a sprotsbike rider!

[Riff Raff]

I've just had the worst moment of panic.... Been dealing with this guy called William at Champion Dragway - I'd already come to the conclusion that he was useless, but as the only person to deal with there I've had to grin and bear it. I don't know how many times I've rung him or emailed him, and my frequent requests for paperwork from him confirming booking etc have been met with yeah don't worry it's all confirmed.

Well today I got an email from the dragway to say he no longer worked there and when was my booking for???? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh. Thankfully I spoke to a very switched on lady by the name of Wendy who has placed our booking and will have contract out to me today. Unfortunately the price William quoted me for the track does not include the electronic timing - if we want that we'd have to find another $1,000 which aint going to happen. So timing is going to have to be done the old fashioned way with someone sitting in the tower and writing it down. I think we can cope with that.

Hoping to go down there in the next few days and make sure I've thought of everything and that there's no other surprises.

Feel sorry for Wendy - our track day isn't the only one William stuffed up, and she's got a huge task on her hands sorting out the mess. Thank goodness he hadn't booked someone else for the same day!

Rant over, now I can breathe again!

[Lazy7]

I knew it was getting bad down there froggy, but my god , there really needs to be an alternative route past the rappa, oh wait there is SH1, but that gets rid of the Welly KB crew and the tuka's, so something that goes right around the rappa, the rappa needs to be isolated. Just think if poo's got loose and started making little poo's around the country, that is assuming he hasn't already, i'm mighty suspect about texmo's upbringing.

*light goes on* It all makes so much sense now......

[Drunken Monkey]

... the front page of waiarapa times had an artical bout ur local boys raping their elderly mothers!

At least it was front page news. It could have been worse - it could have been in the 'regulars' section on page 2...
