Looking forward to seeing all you guys today, I'm hoping that the first big event of the year for us over at SC will be a success, and get 2007 off to a great start.

Outstanding balances will need to be paid as you sign on. It would be easiest if you can pay as a team to make sure the owners keep track of who's paid. Thanks guys, see you later today

Maaaaaaaaaannnnnnnn, I am really gonna ache tomorrow!

Well I hope everyone enjoyed that as much as I did, certainly seemed to be a pretty good success..........even if Big Power did fill the podium places!

SC team 1 (with me in it) put in some valiant, fighting drives to finish a sterling 7th.......ok, so that's last, but it sounds better!

Hats off to Buff for breaking the course record with a stunning 18 second lap, and in all seriousness to the Big Power lot for showing a very impressive turn of speed.

Thanks also to the crew at the track, who ran a very slick operation, and gave us all a hugely enjoyable time.

And thanks mostly to you guys for turning up and making it such a great event To all who took part, and those who came along to spectate, many thanks, it's got the year off to a cracking start!

We'll definitely be going karting again, with hopefully some better success for Scoobycity

Phil me old mate, you and I have a score to settle next time after the "tunnel incident"

Purely a racing incident I know.....and would have made no difference to the outcome, my team would still have been last!

even though we spent more time travelling than racing, it was a good crack.

just need to add i have never been in a car before where the sat nav's start having a domestic he he


oh and a massive thanks to Mike for being chauffer for the afternoon/evening

Was a great time, if an extremly tiring circuit.....
Our team was plagued by injuries and fatigue

2 satnav's arguing on the way home, after the A12 was closed.....

Thanks to my team mates for making both the event and the drive home such fun...

Hey, we had that crap kart to start with!

Add in some hugely unfair caution flags (including one for me on the very first lap when I had only driven around someone else's "incident" ), and "The Boss" causing me to loose two or three laps with his quite blatant Schumacher-inspired tunnel move .......see, it wasn't that we were crap, it was a conspiracy!
