Woops - sorry for the delay in the text for this post. Saturday night I had the pleasure of racing in the International Track Grand Prix. Joining us were the Dutch women Ellen van Dijk, Yvonne Hijgenaar, and Willy Kanis; Malaysia's Fatehah Mustapa, Australian champ Kaarle McCulloch and plenty of West Australian stars (Josie Tomic, Davina Summers, Sarah Kent, Melissa Hoskins...)
There was a mixture of Sprint and Endurance events. The Dutch dominated the sprint events and Josie Tomic dominated the Endurance events. However, my choice for ride of the night would have to be Davina Summers who rode with a broken arm. She managed to take out 3rd in the State Scratch Race (seated) and then led out and won the Derny, which just goes to show what you can do with some courage and determination.
I didn't place in any of the events and some I couldn't hold on to the pack but it was exciting to be out on the track with so much talent.
Fleet mechanic Jack captured some awesome pics.
Check out Davina's close win over Bella to take 3rd in the State Scratch Race

Determined, is the word, a little foolish has also been used to describe my actions. Thankfully, it turned out okay. Thanks for your encouraging comments.
