Well done Jason,

Ye Western Region lads are hardy men for braving the horrible weather yesterday. The wet tarmac in Longford must have made for some great sliding though.

When is the next Western Region event?

Judging by the rainbows on the tarmac, there were a few oil leaks from the Minis. :lol:

Hi Ian,

The autotest was in Longford yesterday, it was down behind where Texas used to be. Pity you missed this one, but keep an eye on the events page for more runs in the Western Region.
