Any one know what happened to cause the first red flag in the stock hatch heat race?

There were so many reds that day, I lost track! Especially as the red flag I had to wave was bigger than a bed sheet! I was knackered! Good day though.

was a good impression of a cow eating grass though.
maybe you could do with an alarm to tell you when things are happening. I know of a good one |

I am not sure where that noise and idea came from. I thought it was really funny but at first everyone had a really stunned looks on thier faces except Jon who had a startled look on his.

no we were all sitting down on the bails having a chuckle and jon said he could hear an alarm, I couldn't so decided to make "woooo woooo woooo" noise rather loudly in the general direction of JB who was sad right next to me.
Everyone looked at me like i had gone mad, which in all fairness was fairly true. I hadn't seen my friend Caffeine all day and had just drunk a litre of kick. JB wasn't too stunned to punch me in the arm As for the stock hatch one hit the tyres on the run down to 7 fairly close to Mr Bryant seeing it at the last moment and catching him a little by surprise he opted for eating grass. If in doubt the right thing to do. |

How many were there in the end? I remember hearing that one on the scanner, it was broken up but I caught, .....23......drive ok.....still on roof.
I thought well then thats gonna be a red. It was a good weekend. Would be nice to have one meet though where we don't have to don the wet weathers. |
