Arrow The best and worst of 2004 Awards

Thought it would be a good idea if everyone posted their best and worst moments of 2004: Races, events, cars etc.

Best moment: 4th in QLD in Modified at Wynnum.

Worst moment: Getting lapped twice by Anthony A at Hobbystation (I later used the same traction compound and went 2 laps faster than before!)

Best event: Queensland Titles On-road

How about everyone else...?

Best Moment- Putting my head down to it and jumping from about 25th place to qualify 6th in mod at the Nats right at the end of qualifying. Oh and winning the Hoppers Crossing indoor title. Possibly toughest track in Australia?

Worst Moment-Most club days

Best Event-VORTEC Vics

Worst moment number 1 - Having to miss the QLD Titles
Worst moment number 2 - Realising last weekend that I've REALLY gone backwards in driving ability despite my best efforts

Best moment -

Best event - maybe next year?

the good:
seeing surikarn in action (for the first time) at tamworth, class act.

qld onroad titles was a great weekend.

not many people will have any idea what this last one is.. but finally getting down into the 15's at brendale after the hundreds of damn 16.0x's popping up

then on a less selfish note..

seeing all the work wynnum put in after having to relocate pay off for them - holding not only a great state titles but week in week out very well attended club days.

also just seeing numbers still increasing with more and more new (and even old) faces popping up at most of the clubs.
