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?

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.
