So its been a bit boring lately so i decided to  ask Blackie along so we turn it into an adventure.

Every single trip we have ever done together everything goes wrong but we don’t actually care as we solve every problem along the way somehow .

This trip is different as there now  is a critical fuel shortage in Australia .

So just like in the movie
Mad Max ,
i have two Jerry’s of that precious juice hidden deep inside the boot ,
just in case I
or someone else needs a chop out ,
im actually prepared.

So this trip will amost destroy the Statesman as mess just follows Blacks everywhere.
Him in the car for eight hours ,
is no exception.

We are leaving the dogs behind for this trip guarding the fort

So im getting a bit excited now and the plan is to watch the footy and go to bed and get up and leave at 3 am
I’ll probably drive straight through  hopefully not with too many speeding fines as our Victorian roads are that bad they are lowering the speed limits everywhere , for our safety and to raise more revenue.

I cant wait to see the rails and door slammers ,
Last time was over twenty years ago
When Bill , Smell  , Co  and Didge all took me down to Calder  Park to the rails and i laid on the grass drinking a plastic stubbie of Carlton Cold hasping a coggie in wonderland .

It was a special trip as Bill is well known in the industry and i was allowed to even touch the cars in the pits

For some reason i think its called Mylar grabbed my attention as its crystal clear and is used as all the glass and windscreen. 

The Jack Danniels promo girls caught my attention but not for long. As
Victor Bray just put in a blistering i think its was around a 4 .8 second pass and then a bloke named Brett Stephens line up in the finals first on the Jack Danniels
Harley Davidson 

Je smashed the record on the bike and he jumped straight into his door slammer , laid a heap of rubber and lined up at the line against his rival
Victor Bray
The noise of the engines on their stall converters is almost music
The crack as the lights  go flying down the Christmas tree to Green

Theses guys are so fast if you blink you might actually miss the race

The time boards on each side at the finish line tell the story
They give the tome and the speed in miles per hour
I think that  Britneys fastest pass is 243 miles per hour

That’s massive G Forces at that pace and Brittneys Monster Top Fuel car it is the fastest machine in the world
Faster than a rocket ,
Faster than the space shuttle

So its a quick  noisy contest
I dream of one day having a red hot crack at this sport and giving
Brittney Force a new number to chase

Its just as exciting in the pits for me as watching them run
Its a rev heads and horsepower lovers paradise

And don’t worry ill put in some ear plugs for Blackie as i don’t need them as I’m deaf already but i can not only hear them loud and clear but i feel the earth moving under my feet

Theres absolutely nothing else in world quite like it .

They have to come back to Victoria real soon as I’m not sure if we will have petrol by the next round of the Top Fuel in Australia

Ps Brett Stephens won the top fuel bike and the door slammers in a performance that left me thinking he has huge balls snd he won my respect but no offence to Victor as i love him and his Castrol Chevie
