We came, we saw , we conquered !!! .............almost Part 1

Its 2:17 now Sunday the 30th of December 2007 I have got in and done the most important thing I have done all day opened a peroni!!!! (And drank it obviously!) Now that, that is all done and dusted, back to the main point. Buckmore and what a day it was. Apart from the long journey that none of us can say that we liked (seemed like half an hour for me with all that sleep) once we arrived at the track we were ready for anything, even war if necessary. Although the track was free for at least 2 hours before there was any activity our spirits were not dampened by the fact that we could not have a quick blast round to find our feet.

Moving swiftly on to the important aspects of the day, qualifying! And the race! Qualifying went well with both karts in the top ten (2nd and 10th). Need I say any more? I think not.

THE RACE!!! or battle to the death if you will ( or till your hands fall off from gripping the dam thing so tight as u hang on fort dear life as it drives you round the track! )

the captain and I ( stallion! ) started the race within a few laps ( and fortunately uneventful ones at that as there were no spins as we both majestically flowed through all the mishaps and mayhem of the 1st corner! and the following laps ) we were in 3rd and 4th place respectively and were keeping up with the front runners which as far as we could tell have been there at least one more time than us, but given our skill and concentration levels we were keeping up and at points challenging them.

We kept our positions and before we knew it we could see speedy chick franticly waving boards and helmet bags while shouting Obscenities at us and our 24 minutes were up. To be continued..............................
