Go Kart Event @ Speedkarting Warrington, 9th oct

Ha ha ha thats brilliant thanks jimbo! 3rd in standings, would have been top if not for the black flag (I think), not sure if it was 5th or 6th in the shootout, either way Ill take that as overweight and out of shape ;-) Great afternoon out everyone had a good time, good banter and *ahem*mostly fair racing... the oc are arranging the same next year & we will be looking at getting some more mk1 members involved. I know Gary has a load of pics and a video or two hopefully he will get them uploaded on here

Count me in! :)

hi, This was a great afternoon , and top fun . i am now just feeling the head on crash i had in my fourth race ( neck ) and my back is now showing signs of big bruising :lol: . this track is epic and does take a lot out of you but total brilliant . Allison ( Chris better half took the pics and video :lol:) . some excellent driving by chris ,you can tell he has drive it before and was robbed of being on the podium in the final by some very unsporting driving ,Allison protest could be heard at the other end of warrington :lol:.

Ouch!

Ha ha yeah Mrs B can be very loud when she wants to be!

Thanks for the compliments, I'm happy with the overall result as on reflection I reckon I threw the opportunity away when I got black flagged, shouldnt have allowed myself to be drawn into a battle - running 4th all I had to do was maintain it to finish with top points & start on pole for the shootout as would have had 1 more point than the other 2 fellas.

How was Bill today?

Thanks for posting the pics & vid. Here are a few more, stolen off the mr2oc site ;-)

hi Chris , bill is in very good spirits and looking fantastic ,you cant keep a good man down :clap: and he will be back to his youthful, happy and a zest for life self very soon . I've told him to take it easy and is all ready planing new projects after he is 100% fit . I gave everybody their best wishes on his return to heath and told him we are thinking of him . sadly he missed today but there is next year and i'm sure he will kick are backsides . count me in for next year on this event its the best fun Ive had on 4 wheels in ages , but mostly i was on 3 , Barrie's lad said i must have thought i was rally driving has i was drifting more the driving :lol:, i took is advice and won my last race :-D , watch out next year mate i will be the blur passing you in full drift :lol: .

see you soon mate and get your brother to buy a mk1 , he is a top lad and very quick around the track .

Glad to hear Bill's doing well :)

As Gary said, a fantastic event and I'll be there again next time we go for sure :D

Cheers for coming guys (and girls ;) )! And again, thanks Kris for sorting out the Mk1club side of things :D

It'll be around the same time again next year... Maybe have a look at some of the other options (I know theres one there that can accomodate 32 or so drivers)

As Rick said on the last post, /you guys are more than welcome to come along to the illuminations run tonight... Theres abour 13/14 OC cars and around 10/11/12 Roadster OC cars coming ;-)


Until next time.... Adios
