Dylan pretty much summed up our weekend with his spot on reporting but I just wanted to add that the Jetblack 24 hour was the best race meet I've been to.

Carlgroover was right about the vibe at these 24 hour races... it was like a mash-up between 'Man Vs Wild' and 'It's A Knockout'

Although the camping was wet, I'll be definitely camping again next year especially with our pole position on the first corner. It was a great learning experience as team Toasted we're sandwiched between Jason English (1st) Alex Malone (2nd) & John (1st 40's + 3rd overall)

*BIG thanks to Whisperer for the massive tarp that became Toasted HQ.
*Brucey for changing my brake pads and for all round good vibes all weekend.
*All the Nobs for having us over on Saturday night for dinner (nice on Christine)
*Dylan for his quick response with his Yeti when I snapped my chain on the
first corner (and for the 'Brokeback Mountain' camping experience:)
*Alex for smashing his lap times and all the Toasties for putting in a
massive effort.
*AND Damien who started his last lap with 1 second between 5th & 6th place.
He held the guy off the entire length of the golf course to get us home!!

What a classic weekend with an awesome crew!

Thanks all!

Critty.
