Spent the best part of today out at Baskerville race track here in Hobart. The Hobart Sporting Car Club and Porche Car Club were giving rides around the track to kids from Camp Quality and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Here is a link to the kids photos.

All photos from today will be donated to camp quality for use in there Book of memories.

It really does cost nothing to make somebody smile. I couldn't help but smile when I saw the cars pull up to the start line and the look of fear on the kids faces and then when they got out of the car it was just a huge beaming smile from ear to ear.

Then it was my turn to have a ride. Man I jumped at the chance. Thought I would take the camera with 10-22mm attached and see what I come up with.

Here are just a couple.

Just before lift off.

Looked at the speedo at one stage. One it was in MPH and second it was pushing 95-100MPH man this woman can drive.
