Kev, I only came back on this forum today after a very long time away, busy with kids and racing in real life....but If it were not for you doing what you've done for UK Dirt over the past 6 years then some would have struggled, myself included when I was Admin! Maybe one day I will return to the leagues, just need to find some time lol

Considering this track is run for enjoyment rather than profits, I was amazed they managed to get a meeting underway last Sunday after all the rain we've had. Credit to the team of people smoothing the track out to give some great racing again. Only a week earlier one of the bends was a great big puddle! A note to some of the promoters out there in oval racing land....let the kids in for free, it only would cost us £14 to take 6 of us out for the day (if we weren't members, but seeing as we are it only costs us £6!!! And only another £3 for me to race!) If anyone fancies a good day's racing then its well worth a visit. Checkout my website for more details and fixtures etc www.cpmotorsport.co.uk

I'm in...city doing as well as me these days!

Williams are looking for a team mate.....

http://batracer.com/-cj?&D&6491 This is a public league and has a number of spare teams and rides available. Password was set as elephant See you in the series

I'm hoping to be there, thats if I have managed to get my engines swapped over before then, as I am returning to Hot Fords the following weekend hopefully. See you there possibly

Have a good day mate....why don't you knock off early today, I'm sure the people you will delivering too won't realise, the post is always late these days!

Got an email through last night from Matt Bull.....

I was horrified to hear that in his first meeting in the car, Lee(??) Andrews racing my old 1300 Polo for the first time since he bought it from me 12 months ago had a bad accident, and I have been told that he broke both his legs in the accident. Looking at the photos online on Matt Bull's Website you can see that the cause of the accident was being speared into the fence, which looking at the photos broke the front end welds. Looking at the excellent series of photos that Matt Bull took, Andrews rolled several times down the home straight, looking like he managed to do the whole length of it. It didn't help being hit whilst on roof on the drivers door by 698. Looking at where he had come from why did he not avoid it like his team mate in 697 who was right behind him. My thoughts go out to Andrews, as since I heard the news earlier in the week I've thought that could and probably would have been me, had I taken the car to last years Spedeweekend. Makes you think about buying a old second hand stock car that looks solid, but when needed the welding fails. If anyone knows this guy, and knows how he is, please let me know.

Wow that gives me something other than baby talk or racing, to say the missus in the morning!!! It is also Star Wars Day tomorrow..... "May the 4th be with you!"

Congrats to you and Louisa!!! Did something go wrong with UK Dirt last July-August with all these babies?

Have you seen anywhere on the net that I'm racing National Bangers at the end of May ???? Yes will be racing an Austin Westminster for the Tourette Syndrome (UK) association charity. Sponsorship is going ok, but as always would love to do more for any charity. I've rasied about £250 so far, so still way off the £1500 I wanted to raise. [attachmentid=6007] Have A look at this page to sponsor me...£5 will help! I will be (fingers crossed) returning to the Hot Ford formula on July 30th at Northampton in my green & white XR2 provided I can get the engine rebuilt in time. Incarace have now allowed us to travel to Sheffield, Brampton and Buxton as long as it doesn't clash with one of their meetings, so might venture up north for a few later in the year too.[attachmentid=6009] Come and say hi and drop a tenner in the bucket at Wimbledon on 28th May for the Pre70 World Banger Finals!!!

Congratulations Andy on the arrival of Kaitlin, born a day later than my twins... Seriously Congratulations to you both at this joyous time, I know I'm in it!!!

Thanks for all the kind words, Kelsey is out of intensive care now and is on the ward with her bother and mum Thanks to all the hard work of the nurses giving her 100% attention , she is now stronger than her brother who wasn't eating, but now is getting his appetite as they are back together. God knows how I can get back into UK Dirt now, way too busy... feeding... winding... nappy changing. And that is just my missus! Hope to be back online soon, as I miss the rush of it all! Chris

Just to advise those who are remotely interested, My darling partner Tam delivered a healthy boy Kyan and a healthy girl Kelsey at 6.41 and 7.00 respectfully, this morning. Both were nearly 7lb, so i'm in for a beating when she gets out of hospital! Although Kelsey was healthy for first 6 hours she is now in intensive care due to a chest infection, so a bit of a worry and delayed baby wetting session now in case the phone rings!
