I am starting to get the feeling perhaps I should stop supporting my favourite sporting stars! After his famous "accumulator" series, I have watched Russell Ingall struggle race after race with car problems and spectacular crashes, frustrated with how close he gets to the podium each race only to have it ripped out from under him for reasons out of his control. This weekend, at our home track Hidden Valley has been no different. An ordinary start...taken out in a huge accident....returns in race 2 with gusto from second last place to 13th to have the car break down again! I am currently watching the third and final race holding my breath. He has started in dead last, is currently cruising in first due to not pitting yet. I think this is my cue to fall asleep!!!
No, I am not kidding. It seems that whenever I fall asleep during the rugby, my teams come stomping home, yet we can't win a game while I cheer them on! The ONLY race Russel has finished in a decent position....yep, you guessed it...I was snoring!
Will keep you posted after my nap.
Goodnight.
