Had a great day at the V8 Supercars held at Barbagallo Raceway on Saturday. The program ran from Friday to Sunday but I only attended on the Saturday. As the program started just after 8am I left home at 6:30. The raceway is way up north in the sticks. Really, it's pretty much in the middle of nowhere.
Met up with some friends. We saw the superbikes racing for pole position, touring car masters, Porsche Carreras, V8 utes, Fujitsu V8 Supercars and, of course, the V8 Supercars. I was really surprised how close you could get to all of the garages. And how friendly the quite decent looking chicks were who were modelling for their respective sponsors. Managed to walk around nearly all of the track and took over 500 photos so that at least some of them would turn out.
A fabulous days entertainment as it turned out.

Ford - King Of The Mountain
The Bathurst 1000 was on yesterday and what a great finish it was - Ford one, two and three. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Holden.
It was an ordinary sort of race for 149 of the 161 laps of Mt Panorama. That was until the rain came and almost nobody changed to wets because it wasn't very heavy. Then they started crashing all over the place. Oh, wasn't it nice to see Mark Skaife put it into the wall? I admire him as a great driver of V8 Supercars but he drives a Holden and so I hate him. He's just that good. Nice to see Greg Murphy, a Kiwi (and a damn fine, niggling driver), finish in fourth, the first of the Holdens, and miss out on a podium finish.
Ford won the race last year but it was special this year as they outdrove the Holdens.
