Two Steps....

...to success!!
As we sat with our backs to the windows of the Buckmore briefing suite, the RAIN, promised all week, began what would become a constant for the 180 minutes of the Buckmore NIGHT enduro,
We groaned inside, as only Spit had ever raced in the rain here, two fists, and condom, had NEVER raced here!!!!
However, once on track we found that B`more, in the rain is very forgiving.....JOY, JOY...the tricky bit was the other 33 karts.... We had booked 3 karts, with 7 drivers, rotating, , and we qualified, well, at the front, with all 3karts.
Spit was AWESOME in the wet, with the Peril, and Two fists doing the first stints, followed by the Cap, Speedy, Stallion, and CONDOM, and so on......the strategy called for 4stops for 2 karts, and 3 for the 3rd, and it was a good one XCEPT for the 3 black flags, and the changing of one of the karts 3 times!!, and another, once. it was almost impossible not to overtake under yellows, as the vis, or lack of it, made it difficult to avoid the spinners, and see the FLAGS! the MANTRA `don`t ARGUE with the marshalls' was uppermost in everybody`s minds, and we stuck to the plan , and had the lead early on with 2 karts, BUT the 3rd had too much work to do, and despite being dead last at one point, climbed back to 5th in the end....Our fastest lap was 1min 04sec....
Everyone was bubbling with excitement as we neared the end, and the Cap had to signal the guys on the final stint to CALM down, when CONDOM went into a spin, with 4mins to go, SPEEDY had an off, and the STALLION, was fighting everyone he could get near! It was FUN, and the desire to do it again is strong, PFI is quite hard in the rain, this was just AWESOME, and the presentation to the extended SLICKEGOS team was full, and the applause very satisfying...
This was a good race, and the TEAM was disciplined, and as slick as the very tricky conditions would allow, well done, SLICKEGOS!!!!!
Buckmore will post a report on their website soon, so look out for it.
I`m sleepy now as it is about 24hrs since I last slept....Yea Baby!
