But first, I must mention that I had decided to go check out the opposition coffee morning today at Sirromet Winery..got there at 7:45....wrong!....there must have been two to three hundred cars there already, and parking was almost zilch..and the people...no chance we could get breakfast anytime soon...so..great event, just too big for the venue, that's why I was home by 8:20, and doing this blog!!
So..Les has been posting pics on the net, and to my e mail, of the events of this weekend..took the drive up to Joplin Missouri...took in the car show there, then to MO-KAN Dragstrip for the H.A.M.B. drags....................he mentioned this wood spoke PLY mouth made a run down the strip..
Went out to an event Friday night to catch up with Chic Henry....Chic has written a book about his life, and not just about the Summernats, it covers his entire life..
a who's who from his Brisbane days..Queensport members Col Dunn and Lindsay Wilson
Big Marty Emery, Evie Fulton, Q'ports Cox cousins, Dawn Dunn
Me n Chic...his health has not been great of late, but he is an achiever...
