Slick Ego's Achieves its target at Buckmore Park

Buckmore Park 180 Endurance - Sat 15th Sep 07

Team = Slick Ego's

Members = Adam, Amanda, Franco, Kevin, Steve

Race Target = Top 10 (32 Enterances)




Having never been to the circuit before the whole team was really looking forward to getting to grips with the Buckmore Park Circuit. We entered 2 teams of which each team member would race in both karts. We managed to qualify 8th and 20th. With 20th being achieved in a very sub-standard kart! we had to start the race in the kart - do 1 lap and then come in and change in, however when we got into the pits the Marshalls where not ready to change the kart and we ended up losing so much time. Going a lap down on the leaders and becoming dead last. The new kart was an improvement but still sub-standard compared to the other team kart. However we
managed to finish the kart in 9th - still getting our target. Our other kart managed to improve on the grid slot from 8th to 4th position. And very completed very competitive lap times. This was an excellent team effort at a circuit that we had all not driven at before.



Well done Team Slick Ego's.



Respect to a Rally Legend


Saturday 15th September Colin McRae's helicopter crashed and came down in Jerviswood, Lanarkshire, half a mile from the family's home and burst into flames. On board was himself, his son and 2 other passenages. Best wishes goes to his wife and daughter who were not on-board the helicopter.

McRae became Britain's first World Rally champion in 1995. He was one of the country's most successful sportsmen, achieving 25 wins in World Rally events and 42 podium places. He was a flamboyant driver, inspiring one the world's best-selling computer rally games.
I have also spend many, many, many hours playing on his fantastic Playstation simulation games.
MASSIVE respect to a MASSIVE Rallying Legend.
“Rally GB is obviously very special to me,
and I am looking forward to giving
the fans something to cheer,” Colin McRae
That he always did.

MX5 Arrives at Silverstone

I spent a night at Whittlebury Hall, not realising how close it was to Silverstone. It was its back garden! They have a fantastic 'Silverstone' Bar in the hotel which has 100's of pictures of previous GP race winners. It also includes a picture of M Schummi at the hotel. You can imagine how excited this made me!! The day we arrived was the first A1 GP test session for this season at the circuit - and blow me - they were all staying at the hotel. How cool! Loved it.

On the Eve of racing at PFi

I have decided to come up with a list of circuits around the country I would like to try out. Here we go. (In no order)

I'm hoping to scrub Buckmore off the list in September. Fingers Crossed. I'd also like to do a race with Club 100 in their 2-stroke karts www.club100.co.uk

Anyway If anybody goes to a good circuit or feels like I have missed on out - please let me know.

Promotional Material


I am including some old promotional material that Annabelle (my sister) created for me for the Formula Woman Championship 2006. I just thought it was to good an opportunity to miss.
