    How can you get possible showers AND 0% chance of rain??!!
    "...New Zealanders, for all their faults, have virtues that are precious: an unwillingness to be intimidated by the new, the formidable, or class systems; trust in situations where there would otherwise be none; compassion for the underdog; a sense of responsibility for people in difficulty; not undertaking to do something without seeing it through - "

    Pretty damn wet at the moment.

    The giant paddling pool on the back lawn is about to go Tsunami on us again. Quite impressive when it happens.

    On a more positive note, The fencing around the track is much better this year.

    You can only get rain after a shower so if you dont get a shower you cant have rain .... BUT , if the showers dont come at all then you may not get any rain.

    Simple aye

    I'll be there regardless of the weather. It rained in the morning last year, but turned out to be a great afternoon of racing action for the spectators.

    I'll remember Craig Shirriffs effort in the 15 lapper for a long time to come... that was outstanding racing.
