A big birthday in January, so I've bought myself a present!
Will be doing a two day Race and Rally driver's course at Oran Park in Jan. Followed by a one day Formula Ford course. First two days in the Focus, third day in a Zetec powered Formula Ford. All through Peter Finlay's Driving School. So I'll be in Sydney last week in January. Hopefully I may get a chance to catch up with a couple of guys.(Unless I write myself off on the first day!!) Also means I don't get back to Melbourne until the Friday before Small Ford Sunday....so could be a dirty car this year! I'll confirm dates after Christmas, but it would be great to catch up with a few Euroford guys

Have you checked out the Ford Racing head....The design of the Black top head is better after you port it out, alot better than the Ford Racing head.... Plus you might find the Ford Racing head is for a Silver top and not the Black top fitted to you car.... I just had my black top head done ... he got 250hp out of it.... and you will only gain about 5 hp if you fit bigger valves as the black top head has bigger ones fitted already....

No Worries! Seriously though, you'll have a great time especially if they use the full Circuit i.e. the part of the Circuit that includes the Bridge. When I've ridden in all the race cars that I've been in this is the most fun part of the circuit.

60 aready mate... crikey I never saw that coming
 When you're up mate, swing by my place to say hi. I may even reserve a place in the Zetec if there's room... down to Melbourne for the weekend. This might be just the way to get to SFS. That possible mate? I'll call you.

I'm sure we'll work something out but travelling in a group sounds the go.
