I think that was the race when the throttle cable on Trev's car snapped. He
was operating the throttle over his shoulder by pushing the throttle slide
lever with his fingers.
I'd love to come over to the Redman Challenge this year, and bring Trev
with me but, besides the finance, Trev and I together with the great crowd
I met up with the first time (You, Alexander, Drews, Kettler, Dunst,
Snook, Wismer, and old DENTIGER and 'SHORT SHORTS' etc) could be dangerous
and end up like a paddock bar version of the 'Alamo'- especially with
Taylor in tow. Mind you he doesn't drink much now - he spills most of it
like Dentinger. By the way we lost dear old great uncle Cedric at the Alamo
- he wasn't actually in the battle he was touring and camping in the next
field and went over to complain about the noise and some bugger shot him.
