Washout

Flattracker prepped, van packed and 2 hours across country to King's Lynn for the second round of the ShorttrackUK Club and Grand National Championships...

When we got there, the track was waterlogged... and weather threatening

By the time first prctice rolled around it was raining. A decision was delayed, but constant rain and the event was a washout. Pete giving us the news we were expecting

Indoors and an ad-hoc DirtQuake planning meeting started...

Paul and Pete with matching flat-caps



Too much rain in paradise!

ShorttrackUK GNC Round 1 - Leicester

After battling it out all day last Sunday in the ShorttrackUK Club Championship, I took a half-hour nap in the back of the van and came out ready for the GNC Championship that evening...

The atmosphere of night racing is special... and in UK at the beginning of April it's bloody cold!

Waiting for the next heat...

22h00 and it's all over... just the the war-stories, back-slaps, laughs and smiles left...

After the busy day, I only had enough in my tank for one more class, the GNC Thunderbikes. More good starts and steday riding saw me to a 5th in the final :-)

On any Sunday... but with a 4a.m. start on Monday, would have preferred a Saturday. Lovin' it!

I also shot nearly 3 hours of onboard footage... now to edit it!
