I haven't kicked one off in a while so I decided to butt my way in.  What other Yank do you have on site here to do this dirty work?  :)

Three races for the sprint round.  39, 39, & 63 laps.  That equates to 440 km.  Over here in the States where we still use to old English measures, I thin that is, oh.... 273 miles, or so.  I could have converted it using my dashboard speedometer but I cheated and used Wiki.

Three qually sessions with a Top 10 Shootout for the third race at the paperclip.

Will Will (no pun intended) Brown rise to the top now that he is running "legally"?  Will Matt Payne or Broc Feeney prevail in the race for the title?  Will tyre pressures be given the first, second, and third degree review as we go about the weekend?  All I know is I will be tuned in to the action.  Hopefully many of you will be also.

Anyone going in person?  I might hit my local speedway (Butler Motor Speedway) for some sprint cars Saturday Night but the weather looks so-so right now.

I'm sure Will's mental game would be stronger than ever, knowing that he's still been within contention with disparity. Or does it heap more pressure on, if he was again to qual down the back?

I live not far away, and although the BOM still shows no rain today, some mysterious water has been falling from the sky.

It might liven up the racing.

Always wanted Will in a Ford since Scotty Mc left. Hasn't disappointed.

QR always put on a great show.

For such a boring looking track it can produce some great racing
If you don't like my comment, ignore it. If you don't know how to ignore it, message me and I will be only too happy to demonstrate how.

And it was great to see QR move the podium to face the back of the pits. The fanfare was massive - well done QR!

We're also having a ball-tearer of a Championship - and Will Brown just entered the chat.
