The Comp Sec Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I'm told that everyone had an excellent weekend and most people bettered their previous times. Lots of people caught the Sun and some people caught a shower on Sunday afternoon! There were some great drives some of which I've listed below. I'm sure there were many more so please accept my congratulations. Here they are then. Tamara and Michael Calvert. (It must be the modern wings they now have) 😬 Gill Elwell - always getting better! Shaun Elwell - congrats on getting your first pot at Llys y Fran (and you weren't there to get it 😔) Robin Bracket - Another first pot! All last years Novices. It shows what a seasons experience gives you. Everyone of you made huge improvements Probably more than you thought you could do! See you next weekend! If you know of any other great drives over the weekend post them below! Well Done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Williams Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Mr Headmaster you seem to have forgotten Simon's drive on Saturday, simply astonishing Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clawhammer Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 The drive from Llandow to Pontfaen accross the welsh outback with trailors was memorable *nono* Trailblazer Durrant......."Follow me lads, sat nav shows a good route, we can get some petrol on the way " *eek* Most enjoyable weekend though.

Tam Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 A brilliant weekend 😬 A big thank you to all for making it so much fun, but especially to Adrian Williams and Simon Rogers for their support and advice at Llandow (and for scaring me through the chicane 😳) and to Team Principal Suzanne (aka Stalker) who braved our laundry to get us scrutineered at Llys y Fran 😳 See you at Curborough Tam Drowned Rat Racing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Support Team Shaun_E Posted May 12, 2008 Support Team Share Posted May 12, 2008 What a brilliant weekend! I was very pleased with my progress - I seem to have made a bit of leap forward: nearly 4 seconds off my previous best at Llandow and my Llys y Fran time was much closer to the class leaders (and 8 seconds quicker than last year although that was of course a wet time). To win a trophy was icing on the cake - sorry I wasn't there to collect it but we had a 4 hour journey ahead of us and wanted to get home at a reasonable time. I'm really proud of Gill - she knocked about 16 seconds off last year's Llys y Fran time and nearly 10 seconds off her Llandow time. I made another attempt at the Blonde Wig award on Saturday when I forgot to check the wheel nuts between runs and nearly lost a rear wheel despite Gill telling me that something wasn't right with it ! Thank you to whoever told the commentator about that for him announce over the tannoy. Thumbs up to Julie for getting totally hooked after Llandow, securing a late entry to Llys y Fran and then putting in an excellent first run. The leaking sump problems means she has already experienced the extreme highs and lows of this sport that we all love.

Mrs Kipper Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Another for a great Saturday. The sunshine definitely helped everyone's perfomance Thanks to Tam, without whose advice I might still not have beaten my 100 second barrier 😳 at Llandow and to Roger for that final bit of advice which knocked one second off my final timed run. 😬 It was great to have so many ladies there to provide the competition Tam beat us all hands down - well done See you all at Curborough Mrs K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Kipper Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Michael Your photos link has been blocked by my software as it contains 'provocative attire' Obviously what you do in the privacy of your own home is your own concern but isn't it best kept on a less public site 😬 Edited to add - no wonder everyone wants copies Kipper Fun is not a straight line.
