We have lost over TWO HUNDRED car race venues in Australia. Sadly more than enough material for my first book.

I got drawn in the conscription ballot and was (to my surprise), rejected after they detected a back injury I had unknowingly sustained from a motorbike accident. Thank you for your service. Respect & appreciation. As a counsellor I had a friend who went over, but wouldn't talk. You know how that ended. Then his wife followed suit a year later, leaving 3 teenage kids. Most Aussies have no clue what the real, long lasting human cost was of that war on our service men & women.

Mate, you didn’t miss much but a bunch of loud noises and you got that on the track.😉 I’ve been to Australia nine times for the F-1 and and my favorite track Phillip Island Historic’s . We’re the same age mate so you’re welcome here in Texas if you have wish to visit. Plenty of room on the ranch.

It’s a sad thing indeed to have teens loose their parents that way. I retired as a homicide detective. I dealt many times with counselors who care and help. You sir have my utmost respect. Helping others with difficult times is not a simple thing. Sorry for the cut off reply before. I was summoned away quickly by the boss. 😁

@@olesarge1724 if you are coming back to the Phillip Island Historics anytime, let me know in advance so we can arrange a meetup. I am a part of the commentary team at that event these days.

@@BillsBuildandRace Mate, if we get through this COVID crap you’re on. I’m fortunate to have two Australian friends there and one lives a 1/2 kilometer from the track. I would be surprised if you didn’t know him. I really enjoy your films so much. You really see the action because of your camera locations.

I think the only red Elan I've got is Paul Meyers.
