Badger's angry mate? Did fizbin not get a reacharound last night?

**Badger8** · 25th March 2009, 22:01

his name was andrew... and no, he didnt get one either :-p
he gets overly competitive in carts, he thinks he's a better driver than he is. Gubb gave him a good bash a couple of times tho, much to my amusement

Absolutely awesome night guys, despite my cart forever stalling then the guy jammed the pullcord from yanking on it so much

Not so fun in leather tho... normally i have an even bigger smile on my face when i end up that slimy

Great racing guys. First heat was classic with about 6 restarts in 6 laps. Barely even got the tyres warmed up

Still managed a decent 4th from 8th on the grid.

My second heat was a disaster after a botched start (stuck against the tyres) then Toto hanging me up on the tyres haha. Shocking 3rd down to 8th but almost clinched fastest lap-time that heat.

Final race I got a bit held up by Andrew and couldn't make a pass stick. Was giving the marshals evils every lap hoping for a blue flag but I think after being told off for practicing drifting in the yellows they were a bit pissed at me

Did manage to force the mistake in the end and slipped past into third

The final times don't reflect how close the podiums really were. If it wasn't for that dodgy restart for the last 2 laps we'd have all finished within 1.5 sec. Trust bikers to make it a close race eh

So thats where everyone was.

There was some fantasticly close racing... pretty much the closest I've ever seen on a kart track !

But by god, bikers are an aggressive bunch on track !

an awful lot of shunting, grinding and banging going on ! I was surprised we didn't get told off more than we did !

Can't wait to see the piccies Badger ! (Cheers to Musicman for being the cameraman)

Cracking night !!!

BRING ON THE LUGE !

I have a massive ring of bruises starting across my shoulder blades, down both sides, and across my arse from being pummelled by the seat a little too often.
