Teamarama 31/10/10
Well we managed to get a team together for the annual Teamarama
at Smeatharpe. Traditionally this is a hard meeting - at the
end of the season and usually in adverse weather conditions!
Dave and Bam were joined by 55 Oggy and 47 Marcus A'Lee for the
day and a rough ride was had for all, as expected though Oggy did
manage to rod his little socks off in the first heat and Spoons
managed second in the final! Bam managed to have one of the
biggest wrecks of the day after a follow in from 341 Jonesy who
seems to have some unnatural obsession with him lol!!
Apparently we ended the day with 31 points (5th?) which was good
going as we had 33 according to Crispen as Dave was lining up for
the final, totally ruining our 3rd place track record :-)
Thanks to all the mechanics, helpers and mad bat supporters for a
great fun day!
Cornish Championships 3/10/10
The first meeting out for the newly streamlined team! Bam
in a dingo estate and Dave in a hatch. A fairly
quiet day, with team runners & co mainly trying to get points for
the World Final. The usual display of team racing saw Bam get
a 1,2,3 (Jones, Carter & Ellacott) on the bottom straight/infield
resulting in a trip to St Johns for concussion. One good point
though was the officials checking for slip diffs at the meeting,
keep at it and don't forget those tyres lol!
Say Hello
We seem to have dragged James "Mr B" Bennetts
out of retirement for the occasional meeting! A
frenzied Vintage Tin appearance was closely followed by him turning
out a cracking yank at Blockbuster in the team colours.
Despite many changes to racing over recent years (and not being the
best time to be out in our colours lol!) James has already made
quite an impact!
