Tugs647 Posted November 21, 2005 Report Posted November 21, 2005 (edited) A very big thanks to Dave for getting the car ready for me to race, not only did he spend numerous (freezing cold) nights in the garage on the run up to the meeting, but also on the night itself. Big Big Thanks  How many roast dinners to i owe him now??? I may be in the kitchen for a long long time!!!! Also Thanks to Team Ford F2#136 for loan of van to get car there! My time on track didnt quite go as planned, although i did get pole position which i wanted.  I got into the lead on lap 1, came out of turn 4 and got a little out of shape, and some how spun out, got it started straight away and raring to get back out, only to find that the throttle cable had snapped.    So that was the end of that.......after a few minutes of shutting abuse at myself i decided to watch the rest of the ladies race from the delights of the cab. There was a few hairy moments when some of them came very close to hitting to me, deep breaths were taken!!! I didnt have a clue who was where or anything, next thing red flags were out and a tractor had appeared behind me to push me off track. Dave appeared running across track, no doubt wondering what i'd done to the car. Got back into the pits to my awaiting people and the emotions got the better of me. I can be a right woman when i want to be!! lmao. But thank you guys you did your best to cheer me up So aswell as the numerous roast dinners i now owe Dave, i'll have to invest in another throttle cable too! Big Thanks to all you guys who sponsored me, its most appreciated, good job i wasnt sponsored per lap, or i'd have nothing,  Also thanks to Crasher for managing the sponsorship All i need now is for those who havent paid up to get there money to me please asap as i need to hand it over by sunday coming. PM me for details. [attachmentid=3916] Some pictures can be found on www.bwplive.com. Thanks again everyone! Edited November 21, 2005 by Tugs647

Mav Posted November 21, 2005 Report Posted November 21, 2005 Unlucky Tugs I know how you feel on every aspect bar one - You only needed one tractor to get you off the track Look forward to 2006
COURTY 334 Posted November 21, 2005 Report Posted November 21, 2005 Unlucky tugs, but look on the bright side cars in one piece and theres always next time ps. You start getting doubtful of your ability when you get pushed off by the same tractor 3 times!!
