The joys of racing...
by aardvark » Fri Feb 16, 2007 8:18 pm
Well, I've never one a trophy for something I've effectively done on my own in my life. Plenty for team sports and such, but this is different.
And at my age, the last thing I expected to win was "Rookie of the year". But there ya go.
Proud as hell!!!!

Nice one
Real bravery is being afraid but doing it anyway.

Well done Jas.
Do you need to pass the big one on to the next Rookie of the year, looks like it's got a few names on it! Anyone well known?

Yeah, the big one is mine for a year, then I have to hand it back.
I know a few of the names, not sure about you guys. Previous rookies of the year include: (From 2005 to 1996 - in reverse order)
Kym Anderson
Chris Hudson
Paul Sandley
Scott Elliott
Kris Rowan
Les Bell
Greg Kennedy
Alex Millett
Malcolm Payne
Phil Baughan
It's certainly a big motivation boost. I just wish I could afford to go to a few more rounds in hope of getting the Period 5 points trophy!
Thanks to everyone for their support.
