OK, 1st prize is 2 full tickets into the Bridge stone Festival of Speed (Formally "The Barry Sheene") being held at Eastern Creek February 18th-19th.
https://www.pcra.com.au/
This includes parking for your vehicle in the main parking area, entry to the race course, entry to the pits and entry to the Sky Lounge. Plus two beers (each day) if you happen to be there the same time as me.
Tell the man at the gate your my guest - your password will be your email address.
Have yoou ever played "Where's Wally" ?
Look at the pictures in the link and see if you can spot me. 4 beers if you can.
Oh ! Use my name at the gate - they won't know who Ferrous Head is.

Cool prize! But, darn! I'll have to pass.  Australia's a bit far of a ride from Ohio, USA.  Go ahead & give them tickets to a deserving rider that can use them.

Oh, OK.
I'll see if I can give them to Rod and Rob. If they'll go, they need to take some pics for you.

Rod and Rob have agreed to take up my offer.
It's a 2,000 klm round trip for Rod but he said "Hell yeah !" anyway.
Rob is much much closer and in a wheelchair. but he said "Hell yeah !" anyway.
If this all comes together I will post pics for you to see what you missed.
Have to think of another game now.

Well, we think we know what the problem is. What's the solution ?

Cool! I'll keep an eye on this thread to see those pics, if & when you, Rod & Rob can get them together. Looking forward to it.

First off, I have to apologize as I had equipment failure early in the day. Lucky to get any pics I guess. And we got a heat wave. Around 105 F at the track. Luckily black asphalt doesn't heat up that much in direct sunlight. Thankfully, no breeze.
Still, first pit bay, number 1 is a bike I used to race on, now owned by the Clancy family.
That's Rob in the wheelchair with Rod right next to him, talking to Emily, John Clancy's swinger.
Johns wife Chrissy actually owns that P4 Honda (38) and she was pitted next to John with ger F2.
That was garage 1, first of 45 garages.
Cheissy is pretty gutsey and went passenger with Mick Oulton at the Isle of Mann, something like 7 times I think. Both still alive ! (don't ask me how)
Their son Patrick was pitted in front of them but I don't have a shot of him or the bike. He's riding a "Modern" F1.
So the Clanxy's all race together but in different classes.
Son Patrick is current Champion of some kind and that P4 (1st photo) is by far the fastest P4 in Australia. (So probably the world)
