Default Thankyou Rod
Hey, every week rod puts a list up on here, organising our special entry deal into calder with spectators.

In the middle of the most stressful day of the week, he has to fax a list in so we all benefit from the "deal".

Last week, I went to calder, and i will be there over the next few weeks. Without rod, we would all be paying full price for this, i know my fridays are pretty flat out, im glad Rod can organise this, as its a tough part of the week to organise anything.

Thanks Rod, for your efforts, hope to see you with the helmet on soon.

Chris. OFR 5.4

I'll back that 100%. Said it before and I'll say it again, Rod your a champion.

Also a quick thanks to Mark who, through sheer passion, has turned a group of internet junkies into hardcore drag racers.
I personally think that, looking at the Heathcote lists overflowing, Mark, Rod and Rodderz have played no small part in it. Thumbs up guys, you got me hooked and I love it.

Tell me about it. Its infectious.
More importantly though, they are willing to give anyone their time to help improve. Didnt matter what I ran, so long as it was a PB there was cheers all round and if it wasnt, there was advice and encouragement for the next run.

They are truely what the forums are all about.

Good call guys everyone here...

Rod would have to be one of the most helpful and friendly blokes I've come across, how he finds time to organise Calder i'm not sure, sometimes there are well over 30 cars going through his factory in a day.

A lot of us can thank (and our missus despise..lol) Rod for getting into the drags, I must admit I wasnt too keen on giving my ute a hard time at 1st, but after Mark & Rod started going to Calder frequently I decided to give it a crack there and absolutely loved it!

Yep, I was in the same boat Rod. I'm easily influenced, especially when it comes to vehicular matters.
