Running On Empty

Casey, I go to ute musters for the social atmosphere, the music, the food, the drink, the utes and most of all the people - both country and city. Sometimes I enter, sometimes I don't but guess what i couldn't give a damn if I win or lose, sure its a bonus and i have a lil silver cup taking pride of place. But to be honest it has become the day of the week where I can sit on the back of someone's tailgate or tray and spend all day talking about utes and music and other fun stuff with some of the best people in the world.

I went to my first ute muster in 1982 and 25 years later I still enjoy myself every time, except when I hear people complain about judging. The way i see it, winning is just a bonus and everyone eventually will win something somewhere.

And remember my old motto... Being Australian is not about winning or losing, but the piss up later that night!
