MillieDrax06May.jpg (1523566 bytes)A series of hitches in the opening division meant our estimated division start time of 10:00 was actually 11:00.  This delay coupled with a grey overcast sky and a blustery wind made for a long morning.  The racing however was exciting with good changeovers once Stan had got used to handling Breeze.  Racing against the Sheffield Speeders in the second race of the day  was made all the better because John and Millie were racing against Linda and her Jack Russell.  Terrier against terrier, excellent stuff.  The late start however meant we finished just in time for lunch.  Today the Hillam Hot Dogs had hotdogs courtesy of Phil.
