Race jitters

Reverend Hedgash · Post by **Reverend Hedgash** » Wed Feb 11, 2009 12:26 pm

Gee I don't know about you all but I have been going through some pre-race announcement jitters!!

It's awful not knowing if we are or if we aren't going.

I got really low after the last two cancellations and I reckon I am not willing to get excited about it now in case we get let down again.

I reckon there might be others out there feeling this way too.

I want to feel good about it, and excited, and confident that we will have a great time.

I think the only thing to do is to re-commit and double the efforts so we are ready when the go ahead comes.

Although we are racing I want to help with more running of the event , etc. so Cled, put me down for some stints assisting at the line!

Whose with me lads? Let's make this the BEST Speedweek yet!!

Things are rough for all of us, financial crisis, bushfire crisis, flood crisis, Claire Danes getting engaged..., but this is an event that WE build so chins up, lets make it happen.

Onward and fasterward!

Amen

I hear you on the job front tiny, I'm changing jobs too around MArch with no confirmations there either. Just gotta dive in I guess.

Look forward to having a beer with you there and saying how worth it it all is.

Rev , want to make this the BEST speedweek ever , get people there early (Fri or Sat)to help get every thing set up.
will the "Church" be welcoming us drunken Salty's on the Sunday? and will you have a nice sermon prepared?or will you still have the"jitters",and a hangover????? :shock:

I know Trev Beck will have a fridge or two containing Holy Beer.(Better than water!!),and i'm sure that James would make a suitable alter boy

See ya on Salty Sunday Reverend.

I'm sure I can arrange to get down there on the Saturday arvo as well. Will get Gaz to do the same.

Got to make sure we get to the chapel of internal combustion for the Sunday morning service by the good reverend and the brotherhood of perpetual indulgence!

Yep good tip.

We are planning to leave Melbourne early Friday morning to get there as soon as possible to assist in setting up and converting beer into uric acid.

As for the sermon, I shall quote from the book of James (Dr G)

Our race meet, which is in March
Speedweek be its name.
The time has come
The build is done,
On dyno as it is on track.
Pump 'em up hard and shave the tread .
This year for some really fast passes.
'and three cheers for all those passes before us.
Lead us not into the crunchies,
But deliver us to five mile .
Brine is the Kingdom
The power
And the glory
For revver and revver
AMEN
