Western Sydney International Dragway,
29th October 2005, DJ flogged “Skips Fire Service”
all day, major sponsor for the event, really nice family
people at Skips.
DJ stuffed up announcing the “Triple M Black Thunders”
all freakin’ day… I wonder how the 2Day
FM Black Thunders feel about it now? Both stations suck
anyway.
Once again I find myself at the “Eastern Creek
drags” on a sultry Saturday evening, thick among
the dancing horses…Up and down from the pits to
the track and back, looking for inspiration… …
under low cloud, I could smell and taste the atmosphere,
it reeked of rock n roll…
… … one story that even the DJ couldn’t
stuff up… … …Something different was
gonna happen this evening… something funny about
the cars? Ricky Monserret and Ash Bailey… …
… … very rarely I’m fortunate to be
inspired…
Out came the track chaplain… we
stood up, begged the lord for safety… “the
most dangerous cars on the planet”… funny!
Rodney Bailey spoke to the public with
bottled emotion… he just couldn’t keep it
down… his voice cracked with pride about the painful
journey that it’s been to get the cars to the
track at all…
Engines started, two burnouts, side by
side… as the DJ played “AC/DC, Highway to
Hell” And the strip was theirs to conquer…
so they dared, tempted fate… … the crowd
was thrilled…
But fate played a jokers hand, the “Tectalloy
Monster Rat” blew up toward the line, Ricky Monserret
taken to hospital by ambulance… the strip shut
down for a while in wait for a replacement ambulance…
First appointment down with injury…
not good for such a tender faction of the strip community.
As the crowd hoped for more laughter, it was clear that
there may not “ever” be another funny race
again…
Rounds kept eliminating, the second “funny
car” appointment drew close to definite failure…
...“Top fuelers” kept testing while Ash
Bailey decided to go it alone in representation of extravagant
self destruction. Yet again to detriment, Ash’s
“Chemical Warfare” went back to the trenches
for a rebuild.
??? Late announcement… …
…????????????????
Ricky Monserret, bandaged badly burnt
right hand, made it back to the track with arrogance
in disregard for personal well being… he’d
worked just as hard as anyone to get to the track, hard
for many difficult sponsor less years and he was finally
here…
“No time for hospital !!“
The crowd roared as the “funny
cars” once again exploded toward the next dimension…
Story tellers tell tales about Dragons
that breathe fire…
