Who's going and who's gunna win?

nope, not I... initial plans was 3 days at Calder for this weekend but with the sad loss of one of our flaggies a week ago there is a memorial service for him at Winton on Sun so I am trying to get there for that

which flaggie, would I know them?

Sorry to hear that, Sonic.  Hat tipped and head hung here in the States for your friend.

In the meantime I'll be watching the Gold Coast from here and continuing to plot my strategy for my trip down under next year.  I am waiting for the 2024 calendar to be finalized but I have to tell you, the Bathurst opening round is getting my attention right about now.   

Too early to make a call.

Back on topic - I am predicting a Brodie Kostecki white wash of the field.  Of course with the walls close, Frosty could take the weekend.

Always have loved the overhead shots of all of the swimming pools down off of the ocean side at the end of the backstretch!

Warren Gordon. If you don't know the name perhaps the short mohawk? (if still not sure there is a pic on my fb page, scroll down 5-6 posts)

appreciate the thoughts.

looking forward to you hitting our shores

Pete Adderton will be stoked you included Boost in the event name, after the spray he gave all the media outlets recently.

I'll be quiet this weekend, up on the Mount for the Speed Weekend.

face is kinda familiar, he might have joined the flaggies after I left Winton

I'll be watching on TV. I went 4 years in a row (2011-2014). If I went again I'd like to view from the beach chicane grandstand.

I'll be looking forward to the following rolleye moments on TV

Skaife saying "it's on for young and old" and Cam Waters sulking about his car.

Between a tyre falling on the boot at Sandown and then Moffat destroying the car coming down the mountain, the one consolation Cam has is that he had no part of either of the messes.

and if he didn't have bad luck....

Live on the Gold Coast and hope the race continues for many years, but after about 56 years of following motor sport, I will see it on Kayo. Have a Westfield 7 and an MX5 in the garage so enthusiasm isn't a problem.

Thanx for chiming in, Westfield!  Good to hear from the locals. 

Raise a beer at the start of the first race over there and I will raise a beer at the start of the first race over here.    This is called something like..... global friendship?  Something a lot of us need these days, mate.

anything of any interest happen in any of the categories today?

there is the answer Phil
