Well it has been a while hasnt it. Sorry everyone. If i was to update all that has been going on I would be typing for the rest of the day so here's a quick recap. April 4, 2009 Darren and I tied the knot on the infield at Premier Speedway, Warrnambool, Vic. What a fantastic day. Gavin White did the honours for us, reading from a Premier Speedway Program in front of the V52 Sprintcar. It was a casual, fun filled day and we really appreciate everyone for helping us celebrate our special day. I am now offically Deanne Mollenoyoux. If you wish to see any photos of the "Wedding of the Century" go to FaceBook. Wade Aunger was our photographer and did a FANTASTIC job. Before all this took place I had decided to officailly retire from racing Formula 500's. And to be honest, I do not regret it one bit. Everything is in Far North Queensland with my dad and is for sale. The car is finally sorted out of its previous bugs and ready to race. It is a bit of a shame that I feel I do finally have the car/engine package that I wished for a few years back (in my wonder years) but to be honest, I no longer have the ambition or desire to put them to use. I have lost my racing "fire" which used to put me to the front, I simply dont care about winning anymore so definately a good time to hang the helmet. This does not mean I have lost my love of motorsport all together.......My KX125 is my new obsession and I find it as a whole lot more bang for buck. Good, cheap fun. I can be found on my bike most weekends, good times. Speaking of Good Times. My Sprintcar racing "husband" had a fantastic season this year (aside from the start and demolishing a few engines) and brought the V52 home in second place for the Victorian Eureka Sprintcar Series. Champion!! He also scored for the year, Victorian Aggrigate 2nd, Best Presented Car and Crew and Most Heat Wins. Not to mention a 3rd in the Easter Sprintcar Trail at Premier. It was fantastic seeing him up on the podium with Robbie Farr and Max Dumesny. It was a great year for podiums for him but there is a time in every drivers career that they simply have to step back and priorotize. He will be taking the next year or two off to consentrate on his business (Swift Racing Products) and family (I want a bigger house, lol) Unfortunately racing a Sprintcar takes up a lot of valuable time and not to mention money. We just need to "pit" for a little while. However as a "celebration" of his successful year, and also a big thank you to his crew. Darren and a few other drivers took their cars out to Premier Speedway for a fun day. This was a day where crew and family (and whoever else you wished to bring along) could purchase a "day licence) and have a go at driving the Sprintcar around one of the most historical and prestigious tracks in the country. A great time was had by all. It was hard to wipe the smiles off Darrens crew all day. I was lucky enough to share in the fun too. Although it was not my first experience in a Sprintcar, it was a buzz to be racing around that track (which I hold very dear to my heart) in a 410ci Sprintcar. It was always a dream of mine to do so although in much different circumstances. I guess that was the closest I am ever going to realize old dream. How lucky am I? So thats pretty much my last 6 months. We are heading to USA for our honeymoon in August (yep, you guessed right, it will include the Knoxville Nationals) so Im sure Ill have much more news after that. Take care xoxo
