PFI, and PPIK

We had a pleasant road trip to a hazy kind of Pfi, the stallion managed to stay awake the whole trip, denying the captain the oppotunity to listen to his favourite artistes, Shedaisy. The road trip was full of snoring on the return leg!!
Having not informed Pfi of his intention to participate, the Stallion was given the only kart left, and had a torrid time, consoled only slightly by gaining pole position in the second race!!!!!
We had 27 karts on track, and by now, with the guys being so even, the races are all about little mistakes which are capitalised on hungrily, and with much glee by all the racers!!! Mr B4U is much loved for his robust methods of overtaking, however the combined resources of the speedychick, and the `peril were sufficient to rein in his enthusiasm, and The speedychick ended the day with 2nd overall, another fantastic result!!!!! The enthusiastic approach of another driver, pushed the captain into an awkward moment with yet another racer, who went off, and subsequently complained, no opportunity to make amends presented itself, so we look forward to the next event! As the season has progressed, and the drivers get to know each other, there is less antagonism, and much more cameraderie, laughter, talking, between races, apologies, handshakes, ( a little muttering about Pansies) and afterward in the bar, which makes it a very cool way to spend Sunday a.m. Thanks, once again to Pete for engineering, my pedals mk2, makes the racing even more fun. YEA BABY!!!!!!
PPIK, same day, a few hours later.................... Captain no mates participated in a 2 hour enduro, luckily, roadie no mates, was available, and the printers father, and son team, were our true competition. Two young couples who have taken to karting, like a wolf to meat, were also involved, and a mixed group of teams , 12 in total, squirmed around the track on cold tyres, and game on!!!! Daddy printer had the lead in 5 corners! we were back in 10th, and the roadie was on his ass within 10 laps, places were swapped throughout the first stint, and when the captain started his stint we were in the lead!!!, Bad luck hit the printers, and the kart clutch blew, and they dropped several laps, however for entertainment, the captain squeezed the son of printer, as he unlapped himself, and was turned into a spin, which served him right. After a pretty clean race with only 2or3 yellows, the glory lap was led by the captain, but the TROPHIES went to the 3rd place team as we were considered to be too experienced for trophies!!! Good fun though, and congrats to the others who took part, but bollocks to the asswipe who pushed me off under the bridge, and buggered off into the pits realising, I could retaliate!!! oh please!
