PMCC RD1 - Lightning Strikes Twice!!

[dickytoo]

It was an interesting day for us (my buddy anthony and i). Just before the first race F1, anthony stalled at the exit of the pit lane and as i ran over to help him push start the bike, we found the gear lever had snapped. So it was back to the pits.

I replaced the gear lever with a spare that had been repaired and just before the start of the second race, as i was putting the bike into gear so that we could push start it, the replacement gear lever snapped as well!:angry: After much frantic work, we managed to get the bike fixed. Anthony was still in pit lane when the race was started and after a frantic chase, he managed to run down the last two guys in the field.

Anthony managed to get a start on the third race and finished up 5th, I think in the F1 class.

Next week, it's puke time and we hope for a better showing.

BTW, a big hello to Frosty - we were pitted next to you and you seemed to really enjoy your day.:2thumbsup

cause i'm really shy! everytime i tried to, you were busy and when you weren't i was!

it wasn't our best weekend - two broken gear levers just before the race started each time! anthony finished up 5th or 6th in the last F1 race so it wasn't too bad.

you going to the puke round this weekend? i'll be there so we can have a better yarn - that pesky generator we had made it hard to hear anyone (anthony forgot the extension lead).
