I am racing at Eastern Creek this weekend - ASC

This weekend I will be racing in my second national race meeting, at Eastern Creek in Sydney. Chrome and Gold R6 in Superstock, number 61.
I have never been to Eastern Creek, so this will be more of a fun event for me rather than focussing on any potential result. This is another way of saying I will probably be floundering around at the back of the pack looking lost and bewildered.

I was planning on a practice day a week or two ago, but, well, I didn't make it, because the van caught fire not long after I left for Sydney.

Anyway, no major damage, just an electrical fire, but it was enough to stop me completing the journey. So this time I have organised for the bike to go on a truck and I am flying down.
If anyone from here is heading out, make sure you come and say hi.
Hey - Any chance we can organise a bit of a catch up on the Sunday night after the event? I am staying at a motel in fabulous Rooty Hill, and most of the other racers will be going to the presentation dinner, but I will not, since I already have all the trophies I am likely to win in this year's ASC.

So I figure if some of you are up for a KSRC get together it could be a good thing, especially since most of you have to work on Monday and I do not...
I don't know if I will have access to the net after tomorrow morning, but Mr Kaw has my number and if anyone else wants it let me know.

We'll be there all weekend and will come and see ya in the pits.
I lost your ph number but will see ya Saturday anyway..
After your last race on Sunday, come up the hill at turn 2 to 4. .
Might be able to come over to the Rooty Hill RSL but as I'll have the wife and kids in tow I won't be able to hang around too long.
Unless they have a kids club..

Saki - my sig pic is still one of the best.

Wayne Reid at Osella Photographics took it, its from my first ever race win, he has like a thousand pics from that race.
The big one above is from Dave at motoaus.com, and the little one is from Toka (I think?) from Trakdaze / OSB.
