If previous years are to go by I think the Hare analogy is closer. I sprint off stopping a while later for a rest.


This time the main goal is not to break down at the far end of the track.

I smell a sweepstake coming....Pick the lap and place of retirement.

So your new goal is to break down near the pits

[F5 Dave]

Actually the last time was just over the hill which was ideal.

Here is a little background on this wonder suppliment

Well thats the 2014 Battle of the Buckets done and dusted.
A great turnout for the Premier event with plenty of supporting classes for other Cams members.
The Cams club run a pretty slick affair, that has the classes rolling out with the minimum fuss.

There was a sea of buckets on the grid for the Inaugral F4 cup, a blingy new trophy was up for grabs and was hard fought over , only to be taken away by F4 Dave from Wellington.

12 oclock and time for the big race, what can I say its big and long, takes no prisoners and preys on the weak (crankshafts), there was little doubt from the get go who was in charge Lewis Dray pretty much ledthe whole race fron the front, followed by Hank Randle and Mr Bucketracer .A few retirements took out a couple of leaders. Eventually and not before time the race finished and we struggled on to a few additional races.

Prizegiving was held in the new facility provided by the Cams club, a few Beers from Harringtons Brewery, then home to suffer a few aches and pains, cant wait to do it over next year.

Thanks to The Cams club for hosting our event, the out of town riders who made the comittment to attend, st Johns who had nothing to do all day, Harringtons Brewery.

1st Lewis Dray, 2nd Hank Randle, 3rd Scott Griffiths , 4th No199 (sorry no name), 5th Mike Stein 6th Brendan Booth, 7th Andy Jamison, thats it i cant count over 7
