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!
