.........thanks again for organising this Dave

Apologies to IanJ whom I inadvertantly bumped

Cheers

Cal ( current TRS & SIDC karting champ )

[dougster]

I didn't inadvertantly bump anyone!!!

[the squiggle]

<< I didn't inadvertantly bump anyone!!! >>

Fooking liar.....

Grant

Still smoking me pipe after finishing two ahead of the Croesote kid despite starting two behind him

[dougster]

Who was MikeB, Grant? He was the one that knocked some speed off me in the final!!

I was passed the pair of you until I got shunted into the tyres (fair play in this non-contact sport )

Dave and Mark are in a different league and Mark was helping me with a push from behind for a few laps!!

GOD I'M SORE TODAY!!! (need a sunbed to heat my aching bones!!)

[IanJ]

<<

<< I didn't inadvertantly bump anyone!!! >>

Fooking liar.....

Grant

I seem to remember someone knocking into Grant who in turn put me into the tyres

Cal, No probs mate. Just glad i never had to wash that Kart suit

[dougster]

Splash!!! There was even a rainbow behind you Ian!!!!!

[spooks]

<< I didn't inadvertantly bump anyone!!! >>

So ramming me into the barrier was intended............. cheers

Great day, hell I know I can (and will) do better next time

Spooks

[dougster]

I had the line you lost yer bottle!!

The pedal on the left is the brake Spooks!!

[IanJ]

The water display was the result of Cal clipping me (Clipping not ramming Dougster! )

Karting - A non-contact sport!

[dougster]

Here we go!!!

I get the blame for everthing now do I???

Same old, same old.

[johns]

Great day,

thanks to Dave for organising it

Sorry we were a bit late, but the traffic at the bridge held us up for 40 minutes....

Not sure what happened in the final, as I started in 6th, passed a few people at the first corner incident, was only passed by two people during the race but passed a few others but ended up in 9th place ?

I ache quite a bit today, and have some lovely bruises on my right hip and ribs. I hit someone who spun off at the corner after the finish line during one of the heats (nothing I could do to avoid it!). Thought I'd broken my ribs as I have done before at one of these, but thankfully they just seem to be bruised.

Must try and lose some weight for the next event, as I'm sure I'll eventually manage to break the 1 minute mark which I've never done yet!

Cheers

John
