Thanks Jeff great conversaty piece for the fat Pigeon racing team on ferry bound for Australia.
1. Greg did say he was ready two weeks ago, ready to run with the big boys! Or has he been also working out and trimmed down to match condition?
2. Darren if impact beats you will this motor need work?
3 . Watch out for Jupiter boys its coming through!

[bootlegger]

Jupiter if its set up right should do about 60mph. Some of the ysmatos here do a little more.

Hi Darren, with Alfalfa you are in the same group with Jeff in Linda K but I'm sure there will be a spare available.

That poor little 2.4 ltr in Impact is going to be doing some work to keep up with the 5.0 litre stuff. I guess I'll just watch from behind, as the field goes past, very quickly . . . .

Clean boat and bolt exhaust on tomorrow.
