Sat, 7th Oct, 2017 The Granites, near Mt Magnet, WA


7am 17.5 degrees, clear sky & breezy. Sent Libby a text for her birthday. Rang Rick as it was his 60th so that was special.

Kev and Linda rang – Bob and Margaret were visiting them. They have a couple of house sits again for the next couple of months. Looking forward to catching up with them all again.

Back into town to watch the Bathurst broadcast – Top 10 Shootout day but there was lots of other stuff to watch as well. The shootout was amazing as Scotty managed to break that record too with a 2.03.831 – really an Amazing Lap of the Gods. We were there in 2003 when Murphy (also a Kiwi like Scotty) posted what they thought then was a Lap of the Gods with a 2.06. Ian Geoghanan did a lap back in the 60s in 3.21 minutes so when you think of the cars they did it in they were amazing back then.

Sent off WOW texts to Brian, Ian, Lou and Fozzy who we would normally have been watching the racing with. Ian and Lou texted back so we gave them a call. Ian and Brian are planning to go to the next Endurance race on the Gold Coast in 2 weeks. Lou was busy as speedway with the Tom Casey Memorial Formula 500 race meeting.

Back to our camp spot again for the night though it will be early to bed tonight as we are getting up at 4am to go back into town so we can watch the broadcast for the Great Race from 4.30am – due to the time difference!!

NO PHOTOS TODAY.
