    Looks like you are going the wrong way around the track?
    I told him,
    "Son, what is it with you? Is it ignorance or apathy?"

    He said,
    "Coach, I don't know and I don't care."

    Vespas have their gear boxes o nthe left hand side so have cleanace issues so they do the track counter rather than closewise

    On the day, all the buckets went in that direction. There was a lone go-cart who went in the other direction. Is was great fun to watch and shoot. I took those shots and have others, should you wish to see them!

    Is this what everyone's talking about when they say bucket racing? Or is that just a generic term for going around a track in your old car/bike, etc? Frikking incredibly Cool!

    Hey, when's this usually on? the AMCN website isnt very helpful with finding dates. I'm building a scooter at the mo' and it would be fun to try it out down there.
    Sorry Officer - I wasn't speeding, i was qualifying...
