Give a man a mask, and he'll show you his true face...
The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.

Blick's
Raced old bombs at Blick's raceway just over Collie river bridge at Eaton, first one was a 36 Chevvy, then 48 De Soto and about 6-7 Vauxhall stockies before moving up to a straight eight Buick modified, this was a couple of years before Bunbury speedway was built.
Tide worked wonders on the track, if it was out , track was dry and wet if it was in.
