My kingdom for a mince and cheese pie

The Museum Hotel Racing team arrived in Invercargill late yesterday after a long drive and booked into a nice wee cabin at the Top 10 Holiday Park. The plan for Thursday was to set up our pits and get some testing done. Unfortunately Mother Nature had other plans.

We awoke to a wet, grey morning and the distant roar of thunder. Arriving at the track the storm was directly overhead... directly over Mishy’s head in fact; he came within an arm’s length of being struck by a massive bolt of lightning! It is lucky that Mishy is not taller and that the lightning chose to strike the building he was standing beside. Others at the track can vouch for the HUGE crack of thunder that accompanied the lightning, and the chaos it caused (i.e. turning on the grid lights, blowing telephone lines, etc).

As nothing was happening at the track due to the unfortunate weather we went in search of a hot mince and cheese pie. If anyone can tell us where to buy a decent pie in Invercargill after 12 noon can you please let us know! After our fifth unsuccessful attempt we gave up all hope and ended up buying a ‘mutton pie’ which looked highly suspect. We realised our folly and settled for a soggy ham roll at the track.

We ended the day early with Jay getting no time on the track. We are currently relaxing at the cabin, hoping for better weather tomorrow.

jeez -your a smart man jimmy. obviously know your pies. maybe you should ask them for sponsorship :bleh:

as long as track isn't flooded then we should be able to at least get out for a bit tomorrow. aparently the starting lights might be buggered from the lightening - which will mean flag starts

One year they would not let me in a restaurant there, something about dress standards, got in the year after and after eating the food, realized they had done me a favour the year before, pricks:lol:
