[AusRace] Racing Digest, Vol 18, Issue 5

Wed Jun 20 08:58:24 AEST 2018

Interesting Lindsay. What about par times for individual classes? And then
somehow relating that to open par times? Does that make sense.
Got to reply to all on one post, such is the manner it comes through.
Mike, your 81 year old brain is obviously in better shape than my 60 year
old one.
And as for the missing posts re Stradbroke, Andrew, I didn't get any of
them. Not sure what the hell is going on the list but receiving posts is
now a very rare thing.
