A week in motion

Last weekend my dad came to visit us.
That was pretty cool!
Saturday we fixed my sister's hunk-o-junk car, and then went to the Nostalgia Drags at Willowbank raceway.
(No, we didn't race my sister's car there)
It was pretty cool to see all these nice classic cars TEARING UP THE QUARTER MILE!
Fastest car of the night (and my favourite) was this one. It did the quarter mile at a terminal velocity of 207.10 MILES per hour. That's over 300Kmph! In an early 60's Monaro!!
A few more pics. Drag racing is a difficult thing to photograph. The cars are moving pretty quickly, and it's dark, cause the races are run at night!
Sunday we went to visit my uncle and had too much to drink. Monday was a struggle.
I had a boxing session at the gym at 6.30am this morning. Pretty crazy, cause today is my day off! Nearly killed me, but it was good fun.
Tonight I have a function to attend at the Japanese Consul General's house. He'd better give me some good booze. That's what I reckon.
