Very good thanks mate

I had to go by car overnight because of work, but still had a great time.  A mate had his wog bike on the track for the first time racing in any form for him and that went well.

My daughter didn't come which is sometimes good sometimes bad, but an excellent 4 days at the track

The sidecar is excellent. It doesn't get used much but when we do use it we always have fun.

I rebuilt the engine so it now has about 1120cc and goes heaps better.

Abby, myself and the 2 dogs went camping last year for 5 days up to Port Maquarie and had a great time, but it's looking like I might not get a chance this year so I'll have to wait and see.

Hi Ken,
Dad ran a 13.4 so took 2 tenth's off his PB on his black K2.
My brother Isaac raced his blue K2 for the first time with the motor out of his K7 and ran some 12.9 second passes and made the A final

Thanks Peter and Scott.
Dad was having some slight clutch slippage. He swapped his cheapo pod filters for chrome stacks that I bought for him at a swap meet, late birthday present  :)
Dad is now using avgas instead of standard pump gas.

Isaac got 3 wins made the A final and missed out on the win by .08
First time he has ridden the bike and makes the final, well done bro.
My bike and the rider need work
