Street Series & Mini-Field Event - Willowbank Raceway


By Terri Sander

November 8, 2009

Our Mini-Field of Women event was in doubt at first as it looked very much like rain from the previous two days was to continue into the weekend.

However we organised ourselves and headed out to Willowbank Raceway arriving around 12.30pm, Saturday 7th Nov 2009, and commenced setting up.

This event was to be held in conjunction with Willowbank Raceway's Havoc Print & Sign Street Series with the gates opening at 2.30pm.

Mini-Fields are designed to pay tribute to women who have suffered from breast cancer and the planting of 100 Pink Lady Silhouettes serves as a display of support for these women and their families.

The weather was kind to us and the event was a huge success.

I decided once again to sell Breast Cancer Network Australia merchandise and the outcome to this was astounding. On the day we raised $600, which in turn brought our total to $1500.

Prior to this event we campaigned for breast cancer awareness with the selling of merchandise at the recent Sunstate Nationals at Palmyra Dragway, Mackay and the generosity, of the many people, was enormous to say the least.

The whole idea of Mini-Fields is to pay tribute to women who have suffered from this disease, but by selling the merchandise this in turn helps to make others breast cancer journey just that little bit easier.

I'd like to thank the Palmyra Dragway Club for their support and a huge thank you to the racers and their crew who attended this drag racing event and gave so generously.

Thank you to Willowbank Raceway for their support in enabling our Mini-Field to go ahead.

Thank you to the Meeting Director - Peter Duffy, the commentator - Chris Diggles for his support during the day, the officials, racers, spectators and of course my helpers on the day:

Husband - Warren
Daughter - Janine for such a massive effort. Love you heaps!
Crew Member - John Mackay and his daughter Briley.
Friends - Debbie Mackay, Gill Johnson and Georgie Atkinson.
