Rayzor Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 13 hours ago, Say No More said: My records don't go back further than April 2016 (just after a very dark period for the Canes), but I'm guessing they won the Super Comps a few times. One of the oldest comps I have, the Kats (Graeme, Sharne, Pam, Betty and Pam) finished runners-up to a Magpies team that Ray was part of. The rest of that Magpies team did a bit of a grab and run - they were only around for a very short period and probably have the best strike rate in terms of winning PJ Super Comps (albeit only a small sample size). Oh they were great team mates! 2 couples as I recall who were good friends of PJs. I'm pretty sure they part owned Mongolian Khan. Being the 5th wheel they took pity and made me captain. The only thing I had to do was ride on their coat tails to the championship. 🏆 They came, saw & conquered! I miss them terribly... cheers R 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes a perfect time to work on those Joker success percentages. I wonder which lucky team will be playing us when Howie pulls out the old poison chalice Joker ??

Thieves on Wheels seeing as we have some Harness people on board and it was mooted as an experiment for harness nuts taking on the TB experts.? Sorry Rees, that's too long and would end up being simply called Thieves which is not very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did some gas work on that Hotel , and Cruise Martinborough has used it a few times although 200 classic/muscle/hotrods turning up at once creates a massive waiting list and a logistical nightmare for seating.
