Drama at the Bol D'Or 24 hour race. Well, further drama after the race was red flagged and postponed overnight with torrential rain.

At PI for state racing. You park your car at a position so you can see as much as you can without getting out of your car.

There’s heaps of space either side, but some campaigner parks right next to me obstructing the view!

It’s happened again!

Here’s the space on my right.

You should be honoured.
Obviously this person has recognised your exceptional skill at picking the perfect spot and has decided that your lead must be followed.

Tonight on ESPN at 8

" QUALIFIED "

It's all larry

Well worth it

So I don't think there are any Sydney Roosters fans on here, or have relatives that are? So unless there's money on them, are the MB regulars getting behind the Raiders because NSWCROW is Raiders fan?

Had a look. Imagine blasting up the hill at the South African GP, to be confronted with an unusual accident, keep going, then on the next lap, see the driver's helmet on the side of the track, while the car is a few hundred metres down the road?

Woah!

p.s. Bad luck about the Raiders.

Disappointing, however I’ve never like that track not having the walls at the end like a tradition speedway track.
Just having the mounds of dirt I’ve always felt like drivers know the penalty for making a mistake isn’t that bad.
Very much like large run off areas in F1
