POWER on...

I Know I have been away for a while, and have had quite a few reminders, but I have had a traumatic few months with my back, and getting back into University, and something had to give. Sorry. I knew if I posted so I would be hounded so I just quietly slipped away, but I am BACK!!!

From the ABC, I have been watching Will for a couple of years, since his first "one off" race in the Indy on the Gold Coast in 2006? I had noticed him before, and thought he had 2 things he needed to survive in world class open-wheeler racing. 1. is talent... DUH. 2. is sex appeal, good looks, or charisma... Sounds kinky, but true! He was rooky of the year last year, after nearly winning his first (and home) GP. Can he do the Aussie double? Marcos can win the rookie title in the NASCAR Busch cup, and Will the CART? Add in Lewis Hamilton (Unfortunately a.... Englishman) in F1, with a 3rd and 2nd in his first 2 races, absolutely unheard of in the last 20-30 years, and the "old guard" in motorsport is in trouble. The V8 Supercars to have Rick, and Todd Kelly, Courtney and others giving the "old" fellows a hurry on.... I am really looking forward to this year for the first time in a long time...

Next week I will get into Nuclear Power and water conservation, so Don't go away!

Congatulations Mate, as a fellow Toowoomba boy, Go Get EM!!!!!

Power remains composed following Champ Car win

Australian driver Will Power says he is not getting carried away with yesterday's win in the first round of the Champ Car World Series.

The Team Australia driver from Toowoomba, in south-eastern Queensland, started in pole position and dominated the Las Vegas Grand Prix in the United States.

Power says the team has been building steadily towards a victory.

"It felt really good winning but, you know, we've been pretty quick in the off-season in testing and as you know we finished on a high last season, getting a pole in Surfers and getting a podium in Mexico," he said.

"So, you know, the team has stepped it up another notch and got pole position and won the race."
