Hi guys,
attended the Grand Prix yesterday with my son, his first time at the races. He was soo excited until he came face to face with Craig and Jamie and went Shy, jamie convinced him to get up and have his photo taken ( refer to my profile for pics) this made his day!!!. he also has a new found love of push bike riding after seeing Jamie riding around the paddock!. So a big thanks for taking the time to not only sign things for us but to have a chat and make Dillon feel comfortable and make the day memorable for him.
Thanks Jamie & Craig

The same thing has happened with my son on a few occasions. He gets so excited about meeting Craig and Jamie but as soon as they say hello he gets all shy and buries his head into me. They’re so great with kids though arn’t they.
My son talks non-stop about the guys after meeting them and wants to show everyone his autographed posters on his bedroom wall.
(He has a huge soft spot for Nat Lowndes too. We’ve run into her on a few occasions away from the race track and she’s always so nice to him.)

Yeah they were great! We just got the photos printed, Dillon (my son) was so excited he was showing the lady at the photo shop who obviously had no idea who the people were in the shot!.

Sounds like you had a fantastic time Kate, that sounds awesome of the boys! Its great that they are so warm and welcoming! Especially towards the little kiddies and making their day even better! Sounds like Dillion has some great memories there!

I hope you do too Bryanna. I’ll never forget the first time I met Craig and the first time I met Jamie. I was on the biggest high all day!
Awww, that’s so cute Kate. You’ll have to ask the guys to sign the photos for him next time you see them.

I met Craig and Jamie for the first time at Indy last year and they were great.
People were trying to get signatures through the fence but it was too hard so jamie came out from behind the fence and craig followed. This was after Jamie hadn’t had the best of days and he was still willing to talk to everyone.
I admire Jamie for that.

Hi - thats so awsome Kate! I saw your pics! So cute.
We (My 3yr old daughter and I) went to the GP on friday. Caught up with craig and he picked mikayla up to say hi and for a photo. well, he tried talking to her, and she wouldnt look at him, wouldnt turn her head at all. lol. little dear went all shy. But it was short lived, craig asked mikayla to help him with the autograph session, so craig took her to the desk, and sat her between himself and jamie. well boy did she love that. I even went away from the desk to get a photo with jamie, and mikayla just stayed there with craig. was awsome. i will have to upload some video footage i took of her just hanging out with the boys lol.
she hasnt been able to stop talking about it, and we got her photos printed today! couldnt wait to show nannie when she came to visit this afternoon!
SO THE BIGGEST EVER THANK YOU TO CRAIG AND JAMIE! YOU GUYS ARE JUST AMAZING! I CANNOT SPEAK HIGHLY ENOUGH OF YOU!
Tinks 6:13 pm March 16th 2008
Awww Lindy… that’s so precious! Bet that melted your heart. Sounds like she had a great time. That’s great that you had a camera with you so you were able to capture it.
Lindy Hall 6:13 pm March 16th 2008
oh - and when craig put mikayla up there, jamie got talking to her too. lol. and then when he signed her poster - it looked as though he couldnt help himself but to do some doodling and drew a picture on there for her! So funny!
Still uploading the video =)
Lindy Hall 6:15 pm March 16th 2008
Oh it did Melissa! she doesnt realise how lucky she is - but i sure do! was an unbelievable feeling!
and i took so many photos and video footage of it. i had to - could be the only time this happens!
all my pics are on my myspace - if you have a myspace account - add me =)
Tinks 6:39 pm March 16th 2008
I just sent you an add request on Myspace Lindy. I just watched your video on your profile here too… Love the way your daughter says “Jamie”.
Lindy Hall 6:56 pm March 16th 2008
just accepted you mel - and just realised i have added you on the craig lowndes fan space - i am the owner i spose you would call it lol.
haha - yea she has a cute way of saying it hey! and its funny, when she refers to the boys, it always craig lowndes and jamie. lol. on friday i asked her (infront of craig mind you) if she would like craig lowndes to draw on her tshirt. i felt like a goose refering to him by his full name in front of him. lol. will have to teach her, his name is craig. lol.

Great stories, thanks for sharing. Always love watching the guys interacting with the kids, whether they are the 1st or 88th child of the day, they make them all feel like they are #1. Awesome job Jamie and Craig.
