The Thursday before the V8 races came to town, the drivers had a meet & greet afternoon. Eli didn't quite get the concept of asking the drivers to sign things- he knows their names, why do they need to write it?- he was VERY excited about going.
We weren't sure how the afternoon was going to be set up, all we knew- he HAD to meet Jamie Whincup (aka "Janie"). Eli made him a card, that said "Jamie Whincup you are my favourite", which he spent a week stamping, drawing and colouring.
He wanted to make cards for the other drivers too, but he wanted to tell them what number on his list of favourites they were, but we discouraged it, I don't know how Garth Tander would respond to being told he's 6th favourite on the list!
We were hopeful of him also meeting his other Top 3-
Craig Lowndes,
Mark Winterbottom
and Will Davidson.
As it happened, he got to meet them all, as well as have a photo in front of the safety car.
