 :thank: guys, today there was 2 races and Mick won both races by a mile, he was flying and towards the end he must of thought he was a drifter throwing the car sideways on every corner, the crowd and the commentators loved it  :burnout:  :burnout:

Sunday did not turn out to be the best day! In the first race Mick had the lead from the start and felt really good in the car, the track was awesome he said and he thought todays the day Im going to break the lap record, the track had so much grip and the Mustang has so much horsepower that the gearbox could not cope and on the first lap coming onto the main straight it let go with a loud BANG!

Anyway thats racing as they say and he still come away from the weekend with a big smile on his face knowing that he still can still steer a car and take out a couple of wins.

A couple of the boys from the 60's American Muscle Car Club in Melbourne came over and said Hi, Steve also took some really good shots on the weekend of all the action.
