steaallan

Gav Taylor

worth it tho for some 20 year blonde action

club sec

Priorities are all wrong!

Give me her number I'll call her and tell her you shagged some old tart from Shildon and when she bins you, you can come karting. Happy days.

Gav Taylor

club sec

Relatives don't count.

Gav Taylor

Gav Taylor

club sec

sTILL SHORT OF ENTRIES, NEED SOME KARTERS FOR THE 12TH, SPREAD THE WORD.

Gav Taylor

Lack of drive.

EmSpem

Gav Taylor

EmSpem

bob_mck

good race i thought, full of action

club sec

Yes, broke back Allan joined by Broke leg Brownridge!

bob_mck

haha

the moral or the story is:
always wear a seatbelt

club sec

Or don't try so hard?

bob_mck

100% commitment

club sec

He should be commited....to an institution.

Anyway Gav's pride is on the line looking at the championship table

Gav Taylor

been in London for a session all weekend so missed the action, has dave broke his leg in a karting accident has he??

bob_mck

near enough

he went at full whack, sideways into a tyre wall. Bent the steering wheel n smacked his leg on something.

Quite a good effort, hes walking but not very well

Gav Taylor

he should stick to sunflower oil powered 4x4 in future

joe_the_waiter

just back from hospital... nothing broken... barely walk or bend my knee... but ok.
yes... 100% commitment... even asked if they will give me another kart to continue with while i was still flat out unable to move. I said i will have enough movement to press the brake.... and after being helped back in the kart (and helped back out at finish), i was back in the action, overtaking and even able to keep rough pace with Colin at one point. finished last as i lost a few laps while they straightened the kart to roughly the same shape.

Gav Taylor

should have done some testing in Stang on saturday mate

bob_mck

dave, im suprised you didnt wanna go off roading like me in a go-cart rather than NCAP testing

joe_the_waiter

yes Bob, you certainly tested its offroad capabilities to the limit... i tested mine to destruction.

The 'something' i hit my leg on, was the steering.... i think they had bent it some of the way back before they pointed it out to me...

well... it was a proper 'off', Kart at its fastest and just throw it sideways.... see........ i'm a rally man... circuits are crap... at least in a proper rally i would of hit a tree or two, the odd spectator and had a corner named after me.....

Gav Taylor

can see it now "Waiters corner"

was it wet like? You should of planted the throttle mid side and gave it op lock and soaked up the kudos as everyone talked about your power slide after the race

club sec

I think Mrs broke back has some pics of broke leg

club sec

It was one of those awful moments, I was looking the other way and heard the screech of locked wheels/ tyres then as I turned I saw the kart on the grass then...........THUD! I saw the driver come out and thought it was game over. Went down to the marshals post to see who it was, sounds horrible but I was hoping it wasn't "one of the lads".

I honestly expected a hospital trip but it was a real stomach turner.

bob_mck

thats true.
I saw the red flags out and thought someone else had been offroading, till i passed someone (turned out to be dave) laid out on the deck. To be honest there wasnt much movement and i thought he was knocked out!!

but after it, you can only laugh or cry

club sec

Dave knocked out and unable to speak

To be fair I thought it was

Gav Taylor

you should of ran him over Bob son

only kidding Dave lad

club sec

Dave- SDMC whipping boy

joe_the_waiter

"waiters corner"............... am in pain laughing at that.....

Gav Taylor

name has stuck now, hard to shake the title off.

joe_the_waiter

hope i make the gazette
