Happy 101 Birthday to my Great Grandfather, Pop Mac. “Bill” William McFarlane
(Pop Mac to me) started the racing tradition in our family back in 1949 - 1951. His biggest racing achievement in his short career was winning of the re run of the 1951 QLD speedcar championship.
Pop has always been a big supporter of me & my racing & he keeps an eye & ear out on how I’m going. 🏆🎂

Happy Mother’s Day to all the super amazing speedway mums out there! 🌸🌸🌸
You all do such a wonderful job of supporting our racing. My mum has always been my Biggest fan & Supporter on & off the track. Thanks Mum for all the things you do for us to go racing. From cleaning all my race gear (including my boots), to taking photos, videos & doing write up’s, to passing me my helmet just before a race, to cooking the best dinners at the track for us to eat, to getting covered in a layer of dirt & having to wash your hair in the early hours of the morning, to all the little extras you do just to watch & support me race. There’s one thing for sure, you would do anything for me. Luv you Mum. x
