Yes, after few pints my kids can get quite lairy!
Yes it was us passing, we had a Dundee pee and petrol stop. Thankfully the coffe and toffee pudding kept us awake.

It was the best bit of the event. Glad that James and Greg are not injured after their downhill efforts and looking forward to reading the build for next years karts.

Huge thanks to you and the nearly missus and all the other people who turned in force to support the SE teams. Meant a lot.

I've got the times somewhere - I'll get them posted up in the next day or so.
Thanks for taking part - it's the only part of the event I actually saw - and I'm glad I could actually be part of it. I hope you thought the organisation of the soapbox was ok - we felt it went very well and are really looking forward to repeating for next year.
Well done to all the teams for entering into the spirit of things - you guys absolutely helped to make my weekend.
Thanks Tony

It was a blast, Tony! So glad I had that moment of weakness when I entered way back when
Can we keep our team number for next year...
Got a couple of feedback ideas to help develop the Soapbox segment. It's already good. And we can make it even better! Can drop you an email.

The theme is 'vintage racers' this year. We have entered under the team name of Ecurious Ecosse.
Like Campbell, we're only at the concept stage too.
