One of the special and moving moments from the weekend, was at the end of racing on Saturday when Gina took Scottie’s ashes for one more ride in the “Tiki Munki”, releasing them from the chute at the 1/8 mile, exactly according to one of his wishes. Another fitting tribute to a great man who we all miss and loved so much. Race in peace, Scottie.
Commiserations this weekend go to Michael Kenway who had a transbrake breakage, Ian Coulsell and Steve Young who had a flywheel breakage, Didier suffering with fuel pump problems, Chris Manning with the front axle breakage, and to Robert White with a minor breakage. Hope they can all be repaired real soon and be back out racing!
Highlights of the weekend included the really big field of great quality cars, some great matchups, all the fantastic cars and people, and most of all, a fabulous show from the whole Wild Bunch!!
It was a great ‘Nostalgias’! Thanks again to everyone at Shakey for all their hard work and perseverance. They did their very best to get as much racing in as possible. Many Congratulations to all those who ran great PB’s at the weekend and all our prize winners! Well done to all the Wild Bunch teams, who put on a fantastic show again this weekend. Very impressive! A brilliant group of cars and people!!
