Boo, both Debbie and I had a great time on Saturday. It was really nice to be amongst family, old friends and my slot racing buddies in a social manner, at a place with a wonderful atmosphere. And it was the people present that made the atmosphere so great.

Look forward to seeing you on Thursday.

Great action pictures GG

Hey - I remember that F1 race!!!

For those of you who dont know - thats Ralf Schumacher's big (air·borne) crash at the start of the 2002 Australian F1 GP... When I saw that race back then, to this day I still say Rubens (looked for that, he) made a bad "double" block on Ralf into the first corner... No double blocking in F1 racing again though

Check/Watch this (2 mins into the vid for sure & pause it) and tell me if I am not right

Ralf was who I supported back in those '02 days ~ Alonso (Renault test driver) was up & coming but I didnt know much of him as I know now, and thats who I support 100% today

Good spotting Luke. You really know that era of F1. As for who's to blame, ex-F1 driver John Watson commentating seems to think that it was Ralph "outbreaking himself", but I tend to agree with you. That crazy weaving at the start of F1 races is stupid and I'm glad its now illegal. How could Ralph have expected Rubens to weave back across his nosecone? He was already setting up to brake late and keep on the outside when Rubens came across.
