Hi Mate,
Was that you way out front at Donnington today during practise?
How did you do in the race, I had to leave after the 1st RGB race in the afternoon.

well done that man Dikie........

Top job.....


Robster - 16/5/05 at 11:37 AM

Well done Dickie, many congrats - it was an excellent race to watch, so can't imagine how good it was to win it!

It's given me even more motivation, not that I needed any, to get on with my build & join you on the track!

Rob.

Since it doesn't happen often (in fact just once so far), here is a photo:


Full report (from my point of view) is:

Anyone else got any photos?

think the race suit should be a bit more in line with the car paint job,

j/k


DickieB - 17/5/05 at 03:46 PM

I know, but...... The race suit never suited my last car either, and I've never felt the need to buy a new one - I'm still the same size I was aged 15. I also like my distinctive red and black car, and haven't needed to change more than the nose cone and 1 cycle wing in 2 1/2 years of competing!

Hmmm, nice pic Rich - ever thought about a parallel career in catalogue modelling?

I've also got this photo of us all arriving at Redgate with you right at the sharp end. I'm just behind you and to the right. Rescued attachment Redgate_small.jpg

i am just beind you guys, my bright wing mirrors are easy to spot.

Dont know you rob, will hve to introduce myself at cadwell.


DickieB - 18/5/05 at 06:29 AM

Good photo Rob - nice to see it so crowded at the first corner. Most other championships don't seem to be as close!


Rob Palin - 18/5/05 at 07:46 AM

Jamie -you've probably never seen me because i'm usually just tiny speck in your mirrors somewhere!

I'm trying to catch up a bit this year though.

See you at Cadwell.

Well Done Dickie

Didn't really get to congratulate you on the day as I was rebuilding my crumpled front suspension.

Thanks to Pumpers for helping me to put it back together, and to the Cherringtons for the generous loan of some front dampers, and Dougie for the welding and welder, and my dad for the help and my mum for the tea.

I think Donny summed up for me the essence of Locost racing; lots of help in the pits to mend all the bent cars.

Well, that's my bank account empty, can't afford to crash anymore!!

The colour scheme always reminds me of one of these. Rescued attachment Burnett Moth11.jpg
