Torque's Cheap

Ok we have officially reached the itchy stage of this quest.

It appears that what little hair in present on my face have decided to team together and begin an epic battle to irritate me. I believe the evil razor may be in some way behind this scheme, as the army (all be it a small army) of hairs are struggling to win their freedom.

I’m determined to stand strong at this crucial point in the war, and not lose this initial battle. I will not be crushed by this futile uprising, and will continue down the path on this noble quest.

Stay tuned for more updates to come.

Cheers

I would like to say that we are venturing into uncharted territory but alas there is no change from yesterday. Come to think of it, I believe it will be a week before anyone even notices that I haven’t shaved. And only then, if they are within a couple of feet of me.

While it is still only early days, and can already see my razor is starting to plan some sort of revenge. I have observed him already conducting recon, and I feel that it is possible it will try and strike some sort of ambush attack around the week 2 or 3 mark. It is going to be a long a treacherous journey, but one we must complete.

Stay tuned for more adventures from Mo-trek.

In other news its Melb Cup Day, the race that stops the nation. And while it might not be automotive based racing, it is an Aussie tradition, and I hope you all have a little luck with your bets.

Well today kicks off Movember for 2010, and as I mentioned in the last post both Timmy and Myself are participating this year. And in keeping with all things automotive, we have named the team Torque’s Cheap.

There are the links to both of us:

As you can guess being racers, we can be a little bit competitive from time to time, so I’m sure this will be no different. Having said that if you do want to donate but are drawn between which one to give to, (you could give to us both) you are more than welcome to give a donation to the team.

It has been pointed out to me that the Mo Grow A-thon will coincide with the Nitro Funny Cars racing at Palmyra on the 20^th of Movember (that’s November just in case you’re half asleep when you read this). As such one of our kind donators made mention that he believe the nitro fumes would only help to stimulate the hair growth, for what could be more manly than watching some of the fastest moving cars in the world race down our drag strip. And to tell the truth I would have to agree, but I do hope that no one has there Mo burnt off in the process.

Also don’t forget to get your tickets to the Palmyra Drag Racing Clubs Xmas party (check the website for details). This year the party has been moved to the Grand Suites (AKA – The Mercure). It is the clubs hope that the members and general public might like to get dressed up with there partners and come along for a great night out. We hope to see you all there.

In the mean time, lets look forward to the Nitros, and if you are participating in Movember we would love to hear from ya. Just remember to watch what you drink when your Mo starts to grow.

Ok so this year I have decided to participant in Movember, and Tim will be reprising this effort from last year also. However as some you may be aware, I seem to lack the ability to grow any substantial facial hair, while Tim is more like Homer Simpson, he can save and ten minutes later he has a beard again.

So as a result this is the deal for my participation.

I will endeavour to grow the best Mo possible for someone suffering from my condition (LOFH – lack of facial hairitis).

However as the last two days of Movember are in fact a Monday & Tuesday (29^th & 30^th), if by the 28^th of Nov I have yet to have a Mo deemed socially acceptable by a panel of my peers (this will be put to a vote online), I shall draw a French Style Mo on for the Mon & Tues. (Here is hoping that my bosses don’t fire me.)

Other options raised, which may also be considered are gluing a fake mo on for those two days also. (although I’m not overly keen on the idea of gluing something to my face lol)

Our progress can be track at the following links to our pages on the Movember site.

(as well as check out what I might look like with a mo drawn on… lol)

I will try and keep everyone updated on the progress, and maybe upload a couple of pics for ya.

While I would love to see you donate to support my effort this year, I understand that a lot of people will also be participating, so all I’m asking is that if you don’t donate to my effort, please support someone and this great cause.

In other news it seems that the weather is just not on our side, with first the cancellation of the Sunstates, and now the Jetcars also. Admittedly the weather was not the only factor with the Jetcars which had a rather low number of entries. Which begs the question, where the hell are all the racers??

You can say it was the prize money, $1000 for every bracket, including street, yet the club struggled to get enough pre entries to allow the meeting to go ahead. So what is happening to drag racing, is it really dropping off that much??

Here is hoping for better times ahead.
