well it looked as though everyone had a good time out on track

made for some interesting viewing from where i was standing

a few bumps and some good battles going on. laura took like what i thought was a rather big hit at the last corner but she said it was fine and not to bad

made of tough stuff

.

who had the off at the bottom of the track? couldnt figure out who it was

hopefully next time i can join in.

That was good fun, my shoulders and arms are aching a bit but I'll live.

Had some close battles with Ed, D, Neil and Stu until the 3rd heat when my kart refused to turn right. So fairly happy with my 7th place start in the final, was running about 5th when it was red flagged.

Official reason was someone had snapped their fuel line and dumped petrol on the track but I think we all know the real reason was due to Ed crashing several times and throwing a tantrum until he was reinstated back up the grid in the restart

Congrats to Si for the win, cheers to Ed for organising

Yeah, thanks Ed!

I had a big off on the petrol at the bottom of the track in the Final. Glad of the restart 'cos I'd gone from 1st to 4th.

Was all going well after the restart until a back marker punted me onto the grass a couple of laps from the end (again 1st down to 3rd) but I guess that's racing and well done to Si and Stu for 1st and 2nd.
I think Si deserved it after putting in the overall fastest lap in the heats.

1.01.63 if memory serves...

Great fun and some good racing throughout.

great day - thanks Ed.

all the muscles in my arms hurt like fcuk

but it was worth it.

Unfortunately laura and I had a wee plan that never quite got off the ground, probably just as well as the boys would have seriously kicked our butts for it, but it would've been a laugh.

Only 1 off when someone rammed my kart from behind - dirty rotter

but enjoyed the final when I was chasing Mac pushing him all the way, just didnt have the bottle to stay in front of him the couple of times I managed it.

Cheers again Ed,

Have a good New Year to all you guys. Safe driving.
