My brother and sister in law shouted me tickets to the speedway for my birthday.

They call it banger racing over here,

it was also a little less, um, professional…

or at least ‘less organised’, than I’m used to.

A little known fact… once apon a time…

I used to commentate at the [url=http://www.woodfordglen.co.nz/]local track[/url].

Every Sat night through summer, behind the mic with a crowd of thousands.

But that feels like a life time ago…

tonight would have been the first time I’ve been in probably 3 years.

And while it was very different to the racing back home,

it still brought back the same boyish smile.

Thanks for the tickets and lunch guys – had a blast!
