racers plus boredom

[brock]

   We spent the weekend at Santa Pod's new Dragstalgia meeting. This may be a meet best reviewed after sober reflection and considering others views of it, we are currently not predisposed in it's favour.

    the weather was very poor for a great deal of the time and whilst huge efforts by the track crew got the surface dryed and ready in fairly short order the preferance given to classes running left something to be desired in what had been advertised as a nostalgia meet. To balance that, most other reports I have seen are fairly positive, but then maybe they weren't sat in their genuinely nostalgic cars being held in the pairing lanes while "late model" racers were given preference in the order, bitter and biased ? me ?!

     Anyway, place a great number of natural tinkerers in a rain filled pit and strange things are bound to happen. A guy walks by pulling a marrow on wheels, mildly ammusing, he slows down and the marrow continues past him, a motorised marrow ! absolute genius !

Such a shame the British weather did its party piece........ and all that prep too........ 

Had this date in the calendar for months (spectating that is), and was going to pop along and say hello, but...........



"Manky Monkey Marrows" or "Manky Marrow Motors" - now there's a (weird) thought! (nothin' new on this site then!)
