Race 1: Nice to see a dirt track in a GP  Was doing really well and got up to 7th at one point after a few duels with dan and cheese but on lap 17 it all went boobies north as I rolled just as I went through a cp. Respawned but then rolled on the roof bit thanx to one of the holes so respawned to the same cp again! Then at the end of the lap my controller decided it knew better than I did which direction was best to travel in and sent me flying into a wall so this cost me yet more time and by the time I regained control of things I had dropped 10 places in a close race to 17th 
Race 2: Sodding runtime decided to say hello and remind me how much of a pain the **** it is just as the race started. Rejoined two minutes after everyone else (and after getting the sledgehammer from the shed to keep a close eye on my laptop) and didnt even get to the finish line. Shame cos I was really looking forward to the one real race this season
Thanks to all the Madmin(d)s for all their hard work and Mad for hosting and organising points which he did an excellent job on...sorry he couldnt make the last race! Hope the "somewhere between the Lake District and Kilmarnock" was nice! |

Race 1: Did my handiloops and was about 6th, got up to 2nd, was catching Thug when I rolled it and Belial went past. Started catching Thug again and rolled it as I was catching Belial. Came home 3rd which wasn't bad as dirt aint my speciality.
Race 2: Kind of an odd track, I liked it but lost track of where I was a lot of the time because of the length of laps. Was some close racing for a while and caught Thug with literally 100 yards to go for 12th spot.

Race 1: Think I was one of the only ones not using the cut. Had one respawn, finished 6th.
Race 2: Didn't have to worry about handiloops so I shot into the lead after the second turn and never looked back. |

Race 1: I did like the track but I as it was quite short, the handiloops were much too long. I never stood a chance of a top 10, and proved it by driving a not too bad race but finishing about 17th.
Race 2: After a busy working week and a long day of work, I was pretty tired. The race started and everyone shot off into the distance. I had been racing for about 10 mins or something, hadn't seen another car for the past 5 minutes, and was losing the will to live. I hit a jump too slowly and floated down onto the grass with the donut road a few metres ahead of me ... and, I'm ashamed to say, could take it no more and quit ... Sorry, team. The track itself wa a great idea and I probably would have enjoyed it if I had been a bit sharper.
A fun season anyway. Good Racing, All. |

race 1: came out of the loops 9 seconds behind bboy for some strange reason -.-
had a load of crashes at the start and spent the rest of the race making no mistakes and catching up....very....very slowly.
race 2: crash...crash...oh look more crashing....oh i crashed there too...oh that BLOODY roof...(repeat for 3 laps)...last lap was pretty solid..crashed last corner though. problem is, i respawned twice and banged into every second corner...bboy crashed ONCE.
im gonna have to say wp bboy for winning the season, u jammy b******.
