how was it Leigh?

I'm hoping I can get out there for the Fast Fours jamboree but it means having to swap shifts in the office. damned weekend work :|

I didnt end up going to the drags, I seen the line up to get in and thought maybe next time! :)
So I just wandered down to QR and watched some corvets and mustangs have a bit of a play in QR carpark until the drifting started which wasnt until 1pm (they put the time back for some reason) and took a few hundred shots.
It wasn't to bad really I like the drifting as there is always something happening. We might catch up sometime on the track and have a chat and so on.

I was watching the drifting from work - but that was in Adelaide yesterday.

nice gig - $50/hr to watch drifting while slowly getting journalist rosters ready. hehe
