You might be spot on, murph.

I just realized that there is a silver lining here for me.  Since I retired the missus gets on me once in awhile for drinking a few too many beers.  I can use "Gen 3" as my excuse maybe? 

muz...  Albert... we're all fans here.  Please go easy on each other, guys.

Wow.  Learn something every day.  I guess you have to walk into the joint to get your cash, then?  But I feel you got my analogy, skaifey!   

In the state I live in here, Michigan, they voted to legalize marijuana.  This one town south of us, Buchanan, has multiple pot shops.  One is an old bank.  Yep.  You guessed it.  Drive up in your car, put the money in container, put it in the tube.  Push the button - WOOSH!  Then the container comes back with your pot.  I am sure you don't have those, either.

And now, back to the topic at hand.   

I don't know, Muz.  He might be held to a higher standard by his place of employment.

For example, let us say you and I work for, oh..... a bank.  I am a teller at the drive through window.  You are the manager.

If I get a DUI it would look bad for me, but I think I would be spared my job.  If YOU got a DUI, corporate might look down and say, "This guy is one of our managers on salary and it makes us look bad.  Toss him."

Ironically, we both committed the same offense but might be dealt with differently.  Too bad for all of this.

I'm lost here.

Gorokan, NSW – A resounding win was achieved by R&K Motorsports this past weekend at Sandown.  Driver Jack Smith, paired with superior driver Jaxon Evans, brought the team up to second place overall on the 2023 V8CFL table, 82 points adrift of TAA Performance.



"You should have stayed in the car longer, Jaxon!" shouted one fan from the crowd.

"Come drive for us next year, mate!" yelled another.

As good as the result was, and as popular as Evans became, he will not be available for the second enduro at Bathurst as he has a previous commitment overseas.

"Yes, I am sad to not be able to compete at the mountain.  It is the greatest track on the planet.  I am sure Mike and the brain trust at R&K Motorsports will come up with a quality driver for Jack here so he can clinch both enduros."

All eyes then turned towards Team Principal Mike, to hear his announcement on the upcoming Bathurst go.

"First off," started Mike.  "We are running a special livery for Bathurst, created by our good mate, Helix.  This whole deal came to fruition after our Sandown win.  We are going to be promoting the smash hit film Barbie!"





Mike then continued.  "With Jaxon unavailable, there was some concern.  However we were lucky enough to sign a late deal with a female driver to run with Jack.  This only seems fitting when you have a Barbie livery.





"Do you think this is really a wise choice, Mike?  I mean..."  Asked one reporter in the crowd.

"Look," replied Mike.  "She is a professional driver.  She is a female.  So... she has a day job.  But she brought a whole suitcase full of money with her to 'help' the team.  It was a no brainer.  Let's give her a chance."

I watch every race here in the USA on a delayed basis.  Flag-to-flag.  If any of you wish to pursue this safe route, just PM me.  This is like us trying to follow the IndyCars over here.  Unless you are paying for Peacock, you are not going to get it.  You have to have a Plan B.

Been doing this gig for years.  Why, at times I am almost feeling like I am sitting under a billabong tree out in the backyard and watching the roos hop on by.

No Swan lager, though.   

Sandown Results are up.  R&K Motorsports took honors in the first enduro.

Podium:
1 R&K Motorsports / mikeamerica84 / Ford Mustang
2 Ain't Care Motorsports / skaifeman / Chevrolet Camaro
3 TAA Performance / Jetpac013 / Ford Mustang V6 TT

TAA Performance still holds the lead in the Table.

In the Tournament, there is only one round left prior to the playoffs.  Remember, Top 2 in each division advance.

And as the Enduro Cup, Ecurie Escargot & Super Seven Racing Aotearoa have taken the early lead.

PM sent, Trev.

I just realized that Applauds & Smites are gone.  Must have disappeared somewhere when the site was down/up/down/up.
