Bathhurst 1000!!!

[keithd203]

Speed Channel replayed the Bathhurst 1000 last night!! I raced a much shorter version on PRD during the commercials. I actually picked up a few pointers from watching the race . . . too cool!!!

Thank God for Speed Channel!! From November to February, they replay the TOCA, DTM, V8, and European Touring Car season races for that year. I even watch a Japan GT series race this past weekend. This gives me something to watch until NASCAR starts up in February.

I dont know what i would be watching without speedvision. There is actually somthing to watch in the winter! I also had the chance to watch the bathhurst 1000 and even did my own mini verson too:D

INSTEAD OF WATCHING IT ON TELEVISION, THERES NOTHING BETTER THAN WATCHING IT IN REAL LIFE. CONSIDER A VACATION TO AUSTRALIA, BATHURST LIVE IN MID OCTOBER, THEN MAYBE A TRIP TO THE GOLD COAST 2 WEEKS LATER TO WATCH THE CHAMP CARS. A GREAT 2 WEEKS , IVE DONE IT MYSELF.

YOUR FELLOW RACER AND FRIEND

GSRKARTS:)

Gsrkarts, that sounds like a dream vacation to me!!!!!!!!!!!! If only my parents would actually take me:( Oh yeah welcome and hope to see you racing these challenges soon!

Actually GSRkart, the wife and I are planning a vacation for 2004. We can't decide between Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, or England. Of course Hawaii is her choice, but there's no racing down there. I can't decide if I want to come see V8's, TOCA, or CART at Brands Hatch (that should be great!!). I'll keep you posted!!

Talk her in to coming here Keith that way you can go to bathurst then on the way to the Gold coast stay at the luxury 5star guesthouse called Daves shed.Youll' have your own chef on hand plus the surronding vinyards are two minutes away.You don't have to tell her this but we could get nugg to come over one night and have a challenge.Sounds like a great holiday to me:D Plus we can go to eastern creek and jump into the karts and burn around there for the day.Seens your 5hit at that track we will give you a head start.:p

Of course the wife wants to go somewhere with a beach. I told her Australia has some of the best beaches in the world, but she saww right thru me. She knows my only interest are racing and golf, which I can get both downunder. We'll see!!!
