Sun, 3rd Jan, 2016 Apex Van Park, Terang (Darlington Speedway)


Slept in as it is cold and windy. Got the sheets and towels in the wash. Played with Steve’s new GPS. Went for a drive with Shelley and Helen to check out a pottery place. All the washing dry as the wind was nearly blowing it off the line. 24 degrees top today.

Into the truck for the hour drive to Darlington Speedway. Gave Glen our old GPS so the boys programmed it – hope she doesn’t get them lost somewhere!!

Speedcars and sedans tonight with the Formulas. The track was rough again and very muddy to start. When the speedcars went around for their warm up we all got showered in mud!! Tessa, Brett and Summer hiding from the mud.



The wind is getting colder now the sun as set.

Lexi started in the Bmain and ended up 8th so will be second reserve for the Amain.

Glen started in the Amain but got turned around and blew a tyre in the first lap. Not the way he wanted to finish the series, being towed off the track.

The first reserve was pulled into the race then they had another restart. Another car dropped out so Lexi was able to enter. The race started at last and Lexi kept going to the end and managed to keep clear of the pushing and shoving that was going on. Great finish with both of them making the Amain and going home with the cars intact.

Glen ended up 10th with the reshuffle of points from tonight. Lexi and others had gone over to presentation but Glen was off chatting as he didn’t realise he was to receive a trophy. Lexi accepted a lovely big trophy and even had to make a speech on his behalf. We think she finished in 19th. Great finish to a big week.

Got home about 1am – never had so many late nights!! But it has been fun.
