Musings: Sunday 02 April '06
- Funeral for the late Nathan Walker tomorrow. Depressing in the extreme. I really hope that some good can be found in this tragedy. I don't know what the good possibly could be, but I hope that someone finds some.
- Trying to decide which new helmet to get (to replace the one damaged in the accident mentioned in the last entry). I'm not sure if I want another Sparco Pro-Jet open-faced helmet, a Sparco Pro-Rally full-face helmet, a Stilo SP2 full face helmet, or some sort of Moto-X helmet that will do the job? Never mind the HANS/non-HANS capable discussion.
- I must add, I'd love to support our local suppliers (http://www.garysmotorsporttyres.com.au or http://www.revolutionracegear.com.au), but both are way more expensive than buying the stuff on-line and shipping it into the country, and both their web-sites are painful to use. Certainly when compared to rallynuts.com...
- I'm going to call Mr Lawrence and ask what the hell is going on with this "HANS might be compulsory somewhere soon for something, sometime" article in the CAMS Magazine. Are they trying to put the fear of God into people, or just get us to give up on Motorsport? Or spend a couple of grand on HANS gear, when my rally car would be extremely lucky to be worth $10k. It lacks perspective, particularly when they talk aobut it being compulsory at State level... that's 60% of the rallies in NSW...
