One night at our local club a guy broke a shock tower and didnt have any replacements. So he tried to superglue it and ended up having to go to casulty to get the car removed from his fingers.

one of the nationals many yrs ago..they had a rugby club bar onsite.

watching ben riley throw up in a waste paper bin in the rugby club bar blind drunk,then trying to hide a smashed ashtray under a rug infront of the fire hoping no one would see it... then outside after closing..daring ben riley to race dave snee up the rugby posts ,i chucked snee up for a head start,he was up and back down as ben just got to the cross bar....just in time to get caught up there and was hauled before the race directors the next morning on raceday and was soooooo close to getting kicked out of the meeting and the brca!

im sure graham and jim remember it..funniest thing ive seen.

A more recent one at our club, a marshall slipped on the floor while marshalling and landed flat on his back and was run over by the top 2 cars before he could move out of the way.

Wayyy back in time - The Team Tanaplan Grand Prix circa 1990. Big open event, 150 drivers, loads of prizes. The race director called out for a driver called Billy Bellringer to report to race control. Billy Bellringer???!
Must have been the stress of the moment but me and my mate couldn't stop laughing for the rest of the day, although It loses a little in recollection admittedly

Not amazing but funny when you look back!!!

I remember many years ago me and Pidge was mucking around in Mannie Panesar's brand new Gazebo. We managed too fall and snap one of the legs !!! oops.

What was funny now is Mannie was the genuine budget racer, prob took him years to get that Gazebo and we broke it on it's maiden voyage!!

Do you remember that one lee ???
It was at Stotfold

Why would it not surprise me that Tricky was laughing at that haha ;-)

One thing i do remember hearing about was Craig ramping his Cat 2000 out of the Hotel window (Euro's) - 3rd/4th floor i believe...... Then there was poor old Matt Needham having his car nailed to his table, followed later by it ending up in a tree and not to mention all of his tools and wheels etc super glued to his pit table - that was pretty funny.

Ellis and Sloppy's "incident" at the Kiddy Nat's a few years back, involved a certain someone turning off the other persons Tranny mid-race...... it wasn't at the time but looking back that was really funny (i'm sure Ellis will agree now)

Best thing was Roger 'sooty' Sutcliffe standing racing on rostrum when it fell forward you heard a real girly scream and then a thud!!!

Roger broke his arm, someone's dad (Mr Springer) ran over and grabbed poor Roger's broken arm and was squeezing while Roger shreeked in pain asking if he was alright.
