Hi from another well south of the river.

Leigh services my Sti, and am happy with his work.

Hopefully we'll see more of the motor sport that happen in the South West in our paper soon, as well as the other more mundane stuff you have to photograph.

Leigh Does travel to Bunbury but not up the hill to where I am.

So I assume your up in collie?? Your right a lot of what I do is mundane haha... If it not speedway it doesnt seem to get a run in the Swt... Prob cause our boss is a bogan at heart and we sponsor them!

I'm pretty keen on the track day coming up... How good do you have to be to go to one... I'm a track day virgin... But itching to do one!!

Track days up here are pretty easy, most have free entry so no probs there at Club level.

For the "bigger" events contact either Simon Sterner Manager of the track and he is apart of the Collie Motorplex, or if its a Collie Motor Sports Event eg the Chrome Bumper Day, or the Fathers Day event, contact Steve Pitts Collie Motorsports Group Let him know your from the south west papers and all should be good, esp if you can get some of it to the Collie Mail.

Driving on a track day is just as easy, see this post http://www.perth-wrx.com/vb/events-n...september.html really well run day, also check out the Perth WRX Owners Club as they have a weekend down here which usually includes instruction later in the year.

Collie Motor Sports Group also has a number of track days during the year, and includes those of us with enough cylinders to embarrass those with chrome bumpers and more pots that go bang than they know what to do with.

Really love the Collie track, but Saturday doing the short version of Barbagello which I also enjoyed on an instruction day with WRXOC more so than the long course, more corners.

Haha don't know if it'd be going in the collie mail!! Seeing as I work for the south western times... Might be a conflict of interest hehe... But who knows it might run in the Swt!! This track day coming up, is there any instruction???
