Early mornings :? , the only draw back when doing an event some distance away but then again you can have some fun if the roads are quiet :wink:
One day some will arrange an event within a five minute drive from home, but I think the chances of that happening is ZERO

I would normally overnight at this one but circumstance has prevented it. My nearest event is an hour and a quarter away (Barbon) so I spend a lot of time travelling :roll:

Came second.....D'oh! Alpiniste and Alpine 99 turned up to watch and Alpiniste should have some entertaining footage. It rained all day and was completely miserable. Was beaten by a VX220 turbo so no big disgrace but as Alpiniste will testify I should have beaten him but for a final corner spin! Whats doubly annoying is that as I spun I almost crossed the finish line backwards which would have counted but I fell a foot or two short and had to spun round to gat a time....with hindsight I should have stuck it in reverse!!!!!! 8)
Still leading the championship by a bit....next event Barbon in 3 weeks time.

Ive got the entry list for Barbon next weekend (I'm skipping Elvington as its as rough as a badgers asp apparently! :D ). Nothing too special on the list....couple of TVRs and a 911....nothing that makes me think I definitely havent a chance of winning anyway :wink:
