    Thumbs up Huge thank you to Billy

    I would like to take this opportunity in Thanking Billy: Graeme Billington for the time he spent with me out on the Race Track yesterday showing me the correct lines to take in entering and exiting corners around the Manfield Track.
    It sure did help me alot and it showed with my times coming down.
    You never realise it until you get shown from someone who has many years of experience under them that the lines you were taking weren't in fact always the correct 1's and that was what l found out following Billy around yesterday.
    Billy..... you sure are a Man who has a Heart of Gold and l can't Thank You enough for what you did for me yesterday. I learnt alot.
    Thanks again.

    Zen wisdom: No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. - obviously had KB in mind when he came up with that gem

    Blah

    Jeez if we keep this up we'll have to start a donations fund for a new helmet for the wee fella. His bloody head won't fit his current one for much longer:

    Seriously though he's definitely a bugger...................of the good variety

    You were on fire girl, if anything, Billy was holding you up. Next time give him the big elbow as you chop him up at the apex and flick his kill switch for good measure!

    Sorry, you've got me confused here Billy. A cold day in hell before you mix it with us peasants, or a cold day in hell before you stop mixing with us peasants?
    Give a man a title and he has his head swell. Give a man a job, and you can't find him.

    Can I use my stopwatch?

    Be nice if I could find where I put that form. I thought it was in the shed somewhere but the bloody kids have moved it........
