David Thexton Wins 2003 Bob Jane Tmarts 1000

[The Tool Man]

Folks - No I couldnt believe it either.

Today I was in town, helping a mate clear up the store room of a Pub in which a few of us have invested. In the store room was an old "Chook Raffle" Drawing machine.

Like they use to draw grid positions for the Brutes.

I took custody of the device, took all of the little balls out of it and proceeded to write the numbers for the 40 entrants of the BJTM 1000 on them.

Then after inserting the Balls back in the Wire Dome and giving the handle a spin, one of the Girls that works for us began to list the numbers as each was drawn out in the POSSIBLE Finishing Order for Sundays Race is it an omen or just wishful thinking.

Heres how they "Fell".

I reckon there will be at least 25 dnfs through Mechanical or Accident so cars 21 and beyond would be the DNFS with 33 been the first.

I hope for speedys dake this little Gambling Prediction wasnt too far off the mark.
