Thing's I learnt at Snett...
All,

Snett was:

My 35th birthday.

My Dads second only race meeting, over from Aus for 6 weeks.

Qual - Ok as expected, round the outside at Coram in the wet is silly.

1st Race - Great start, avoid kangaroo Sheppard. First lap, last corner, run wide, try to power over the rumble strips, large mud filled puddle hole! OUCH!

Dad fixes bike. Thanks to Rattler, AK, Ali, Kart guy with welder, etc.

2nd Race - Great start, lapping well, Antony and Eric to busy scrapping to go quickly, Andy joins in the fun, swap, swap, swap, Eric slow around Coram, I try the outside 2 laps in a row, cant make it....try the inside next lap, Eric and I meet at the same apex!!!! Bang, stand bike up , bang, stand bike up, I see grass.......then wake up in ambulance????? What happened? Dad collects me from med centre, I was unconcious for 10 minutes??? Bit sore today.

Thanks to all who asked after me and came to see me after the race, I probably didn't show how much it helped.

Sorry to RED flag it for all.

Thanks to Eric for understanding my error. It messed his race up.

Can I have the win though?, I was in front the previous lap? LOL

Can I at least have the fastest lap? Please. Just noticed Andy was quicker in race 1....******r...

That's it for 2nd or 3rd for me in 583, ****ed about that!

Well done Dom and Phil, and everyone else.

Roll on Cadwell. Roll on 620.

4th-5th gear around Coram, what do you think, 80mph? or so....that's probably my quickest off....

No wonder I hurt.

There's one birthday you won't forget! Glad you walked away - never good to see someone laying in the grass.
