Well here she comes ... its October which means 5 things to me ... 

1.   Dave's 1st anniversary, the tribute is in Monday's paper and it wasn't as hard to write as I thought it would be ...

2.   LONG WEEKEND!

3.   Daylight Savings ... still trying to adjust to that

4.   Stock Car season opens

5.   BATHURST BABY BATHURST!!!

The only sunday that I will willingly sit in front of a TV and watch cars go round and round in circles (well ok technically not a circle but they do finish where they start). 

Things to be watching out for this year ?

1.   Kangaroos

2.   Ford drivers who should know better

3.   Evil pit marshalls

All going well, it will be a passionate winners speech from Murph as he holds the brock trophy aloft and salutes the man that was Peter Brock.  Even though Murph isn't that confident going into Sundays race its pretty obvious he'll be giving it stink to make his presence felt.

I even read that Mr Seclusion himself - Iva Davies of Icehouse fame will be there to do a song with a brock montage before the start of the race.   An emotional lead up might be just that little bit extra they all need to pull it out.

Anyway, gym on sunday morning before the race to counteract the non-movement from the couch, except for the (hopefully) excited leaps from said couch for exciting racing.
