Here's the schedule.

Brodie's way or the highway.
So, will you be watching? The opening round of the BP Supercars All Stars Eseries will take place on April 8, with coverage set to start from 19:00 AEST, somewhere on the internet. It looks to be a gruelling series with most nights running two races at different tracks. Phillip Island and Monza together?

Scotty's ride for the BP Supercars All Stars Eseries

It's my birthday in a couple of months.
These guys are really taking things seriously. Simworx are shipping these things out before the paint dries. At a cool 25g's plus I wouldn't have a chance with my old $79 Thrustmaster wheel and pedals. Living under this cloud of social distancing and having no sport, other than horse racing, it seems professional real world drivers are taking to the virtual world, from Formula 1 to speedway sedans.

Who's this birthday boy?

This guy doesn't know which way the track goes.
Well, it's old Eric of course. I celebrated his 75 birthday yesterday with a jam-along to 461 Ocean Boulevard. I came across this YouTube video playing his old favourite Layla.. the electric version. I don't know the concert or the year but he was certainly ripping it up with a great band of players.


I've since found out the concert was from Madison Square Gardens (one of his regular gigs) in 1999. It's only managed 129,000000 hits. You gotta love YouTube? No, Prince wasn't on the bill.

The first of the sim challenges.

The first of the racing simulator challenges kicked off at 7am for Scotty McLaughlin Aussie time this morning. I didn't make it for the live broadcast but did watch it on replay on the 'Tube. Check it out here.. https://youtu.be/bA00Yj-7ftw

On a lighter note...

It even comes in red. It would make a cool jazzer?
I'm pretty sure everyone is had it up to 'here' with the Canoravirus fear, horror stories and fake news. It's time for a guitar discovery I came across on the Japanese Fender website.

Changing times.


I should think CANCELLED will be a word we will be seeing more of and we will be hearing 'self-isolating' and 'social distance' being bantered around. It all a bit of a worry and all we can really do is.. take care. Isn't that what we do when virus is around anyway?

2020 Australian Speedcar Championship

Pickens and Macedo race off for pole in Warrnambool

Back in my day we knew these little race cars as the mighty midgets. When the mighty sprintcars came along the midget name must have made these poky little devils sound small. So after once being the premier division the name was changed to Speedcars. So we're off to the seaside town of Warrnambool here in Victoria, a four hours drive south of Melbourne for the 2020 Speedcar Title.

Superloop 500 - run, done, won.

Scotty Mc checks the wind direction before he hits the track.
It only seemed like the other weekend when we saw the Supercars battling it out on the streets of Newcastle. This weekend we're in Adelaide for the Superloop 500.
