 I finally made it along to RAW Track, and proceeded to take the soft option and roll around in Div 5. There were a couple of 'newbies' in there with me, so the pace was anything but slow, and certainly to fast for my 86" gear. Div 5, for those who may be thinking of having a go at DGV, is racing with room. There are only a few riders on the track, I think there were only 8 in out there on Friday night, and is a very gentle way to play at DGV. A scratch race started proceedings, and was followed by two handicaps. I can't remember where I came, all I know is handicaps hurt when you take the wrong choice, and I hung for far to long in 'no-mans' land chasing the wheel in front and not being picked up by those behind. I think I ended up with a 2nd, a 3rd and maybe a 3rd or 4th.
 Millsy had a great night in Div 2, even having the strength and speed to ride alongside a female Chinese rider who had just picked up a Silver in Manchester. On his return to the infield, he told me as he was tiring, she was barely breathing and Heapy got to watch as she rode around the outside from 5 or 6 back in a kieren. It's pretty cool to think you can turn up for a night of racing with the mates, and find competitors of such high quality there with you.
 Paul put on a particularly nasty night of racing for the guys in the higher grades, which is always fun to watch. There were around 6 CCCC riders out there, with many off to Mudgee for the weekend, and as usual, the support for each other makes for a good night.
 Next week will be Div 4 for me, and a bigger gear!
