Kubica for World Champion??

Being a true Brit of course I want Hamilton to win this years’ World Crown but wouldn’t it be ironic if his peer and childhood racing friend Kubica got it first!

I say this because this is the current table;-

1. Lewis Hamilton - McLaren Mercedes - 38
2. Kimi Raikkonen - Ferrari - 35
3. Felipe Massa - Ferrari - 34
4. Robert Kubica - BMW Sauber -32
5. Nick Heidfeld - BMW Sauber - 20

Kubica is only 6 points behind Lewis and we all know how quickly things can turn around. Who would have thought that Lewis would now be 3 points ahead of Raikkonen??


“Could Kubica be the first ever F1 World Champion without ever winning a race???”


With the likes of Raikkonen and Massa taking points off each other, and currently Kubica being very consistently in the points. Could this really happen? I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Just also wanted to remind you all off Kubica’s amazing crash last year at Canadian. A few pictures to remember.

Soggy, or what?

As forecast the B`more SIX hour was wet, there were RIVERS of water running down the track!!, DEEP puddles on the major corners, we are talking WET here, Cap did the first sighting laps in quallie, followed by SPEEDICHICK, both hit the puddle, SPLODOUSH!! anything outside the condom was laundry...we were in the last 2 stints...4hours away...spish,ssplosh, Spit, two fists, and the condom, fared no better, it was bouncing down, with a strong wind to boot!!!
Spit did the first stint, and within 6 laps the brake spring was BUST, (the kart to have today was a thunderkart, suited the conditions) and we had another kart, we quallied 2nd in class, and dropped back, SPIT was heroic, and pulled us back into contention, the conditions suiting his driving...CONDOM had a couple of spins, in these conditions, it was inevitable, a black flag was shown for a mystery infringement, but others were in the same boat(on the same lake too!!)TWOFISTS had a bad stomach, but charged into the fray....ANOTHER brake spring bust, ANOTHER kart, more time lost.....The CAP was determined just to stay on track..the conditions had improved from monsoon to skidpan..two spins, and a WARNING..But little time lost, and we were in the top 5 in class, 10th overall...SPEEDICHICK was so fired up by now that she forgot to adjust the pedals...but she still drove like a ponytail on fire, so much so that despite developing cramp(wuss) we ended the race 2nd in class on the same lap as the winner, and 8th overall...without the breakdowns, it would have been a WIN, and probably higher overall....WELLDONEGUYS!!! Buckmore, WE`LL be back!!
Yea Baby!

More silver wear for Slick Egos


Venue - Buckmore Park
Date - 26th May 2008
Race - 6hr Team Endurance
Weather - V.V.Wet (Under statement!!)
Teams - 21
Classes - 1 x Pro's (Our team), 1 x Thunder
Slick Ego's Team - Steve, John, Pat, Scott, Amanda

Qual - 12th Overall - 2nd in class
Result - 8th Overall - 2nd in class

Good results team Slick ego's. Unfortunately a few technical problems prevailed first position but that is Endurance racing. Most important thing was keeping it on the black stuff and gaining no self inflicting damage. Which we achieved. Just a pity that that Bucks cant sort out a few problems with karts. We'll get the top step next time.

Bring the next challenge on.

How on earth did they manage that! No 45 Flying Lizard Porsche got a 1:47:135 and then the 62 Risi Ferrari gets the exact same time at the end of the session!!

Singapore F1

These are Exclusive pictures of the new F1 pit, and paddock facilities in Singapore for the 'Monaco of the Orient' taken from a spy taxi, which, was my duty, at great personal discomfort, and expense, to seek out this`secret location, and bring them to our much sought after, Slickegos blog!!
I retire now to read my back copies of Ferrari weekly, having worn myself out, sculking around the orient, incognito in my string vest...Yea Baby!
