Bathurst 1000

I had to make a choice between going to Linkin Park or going to the V8's at Bathurst this year. I have not missed a year at Bathurst since 2001. I love going to Bathurst. I have had some awesome times there!! (And norty times there!! But what happens at Bathurst, stays at Bathurst ;)) One reason I absolutely love going is because I catch up with some of the guys that I went to school with. It is the one time of year that we can all catch up, get on the piss and have a good time. One of my school friends is an up and coming race car driver. He will drive in the V8's one day I am sure, he is that good!! I spoke with him last night and he kept on saying "Ness, how come you aren't here?" Trying to explain to him that I had to make a choice between Bathurst and Linkin Park was so hard, considering Bathurst is our biggest social event of the year!! LOL

I also got to speak to another school mate who lives up in Toowoomba and we were talking about me going up there to stay with him!! How exciting!! It was so good to talk to him because he has not been at Bathurst for the past couple of years and I have really missed seeing him there. He is just one of those all round good guys. Actually all of the boys that go to Bathurst are!! So look at Toowoomba when Shane and I get up there and on the piss!! HAHAHAHA

So right now, I am having a big, "I wish I was at Bathurst moment!"

Oh for my international friends, Bathurst 1000 is our biggest car racing event. Sort of like the US Daytona 500. It is Holdens vs. Fords and it is a massive event. Being a mechanics daughter, I naturally love cars and the fact that my Dad is also an Australian Title holder in Hillclimb racing means that I grew up on the side of a race track. I guess it is in the blood!!

I will definitely be back at Bathurst next year!! I ain't missing two years in a row!! :)
