Wallace and Donald, those loyal racing fans
who capture what happens on the track
They were there whenever they could
With different photos to take us back there
Back to where all the action took place
Back to relive the competition and fun
It’s not only about making big money
It’s about wanting to be number one
There was the ongoing Zac and João Show
What’s there left to say?
Two world class champions
Always giving their very best
Very much in need of a break
Enjoy that very well earned holiday, boys! Thanks for everything!
There were also the other key players
Who never gave up without a fight
Karis and Derek and Vincent Ho
Matty Chadwick made all the right moves
Here’s a top class rider when in full flight
The Ballad Of Frankie and Johnny
It might sound just like an old song
Here was sorcerer and apprentice stuff
May their battle for supremacy
Go on and on and on
Alexis Badel, he was the dark horse
You could never ever rule him out
When least expecting someone
to spoil the party
He’d sweep down with a mighty big clout
Lyle Hewitson had a breakout season
He let confidence be his guide
Happy Valley was his happy hunting ground
With Douglas Whyte right by his side
After the curtain comes down on this season
We’ll each go our separate ways
Some will be back and others maybe not
But no one will forget those Hong Kong days
This city has been home to so many of us
We want to see it back to its best
This might take a bit of time
But we’ve got time and we can wait
In this time we’ll all be doing
everything that we can
We need to always respect our home
And not put it in some mover’s van
Racing in Hong Hong will always be
like nowhere else we know
It helps bring us all together as one
Plant the seed and let good things grow
Yes, plant the seed and good things will grow
