Man I got a bunch!

1st off... Stoke mid west regional 2002 I think it was... I was marshalling and was in the middle of the track where it was necessary to have a seat. Well I was provided with a chest of drawers to sit on! an old rickety set of wooden draws... it was pourin down with rain, a car crashed so I went to get it... came back, plonked back down on this wooden chest of drawers and felt it rock back... there was the sound of a few snaps as the shelves broke and then the whole structure became a flat pack with me sat in the centre! JP was on the rostrum p*ssin himself, Mossy was in tears, doddy nearly passed out... I'm just gutted no-one filmed it I would love to see it back!

Talking of JP remember the rostrum steps at Stoke indoors dude? I know you hurt yourself and whatever but that wasn't the funniest part. I'll jackanory it for you all...

We're at a winter meetin indoors and usin this metal rostrum with narrow steps... me, mossy, doddy and bog are all stood at the bottom watching, and JP busts his car... moss picks it up and holds it up to him (now let this be a lesson to you for not wondering off the rostrum before race is over!) JP is lookin down at his stricken xx4 instead of looking at the steps... he proceeds to miss the top 1, fly into the air, do a perfect triple salco and land flat on his back right on the middle steps spralled out like jesus! Well we all do our very best to keep a straight face as we can see he's in some pain, when JP stands up and says "those stairs are f**kin dangerous!" well at this point we are all trying not to crease and we would have succeeded if it weren't for the sound of a screeching high pitched "ahhhhhhh haaa haaa haaaa!!! get over!!!" comin from Butch who is stood in the middle of the pits! well that was it... we all just let loose after that... sorry JP

Another time, again i was at the foot of the rostrum steps at an indoor meeting at dudley, and a young kid up at the top crashed and broke his car, turned round and headbutted the wall! that was genius.

also away from the track, I was at a little chef with scott whyman at holbeche 1 year, and whyman tried to steal a coke glass, he put it in the front pocket of his fleece, but coupled with his belly, he got wedged under the table as he was trying to get out from the corral... like a turtle on his back he was stuck... i wanted to help, but couldn't for my tears of laughter!

Funnies, mate there is so many thing we have done or been apart of dude its hard to remember the stuff that you don’t know about.

Years ago, at Hampshire me Jody Denner, Peter Bullen and Lee Taylor got waited on vodka and Fosters, cant remember who but some one came up with the idea to follow the kiddie’s railway line , so off the 3 of us went staggering about until we came to a small 4ft fence, now if you don’t know who Lee Taylor is you will need to know that “sticks” as we call him has mutable sucrose’s and has to walk with the aid of crutches . so as “Sticks” cant climb over the fence we decide to throw him over, as we do so the leg of his jeans gets caught and “Sticks” is there hanging up side down the other side of this fence call for help, to witch we shout ok mate… and throw over his crutches.

Also , one year at Southport RRCI my brother and I had no choice but to kip in the tent with H, H was going full bore with his snoring after and hour we could take any more it was late and we both need sleep, so I got up picked up a full 2ltr bottle of coke and smacked H on the stomach- no zero effect apart from him rolling onto his side and grunting

Euro's 97 in Barcelona, there was a fire on one of the hills, and it came so close that everybody started packing and put their stuff on the racetrack!

[_JP_]

LOL Tom, surprised you didn't tell the one about me at the F2's when I fell off the wall, I still maintain those steps were dangerous at stoke!

but the draws was funny


What about the Euros in France and C for cookie, poor Jonesy eating that cookie after it had been up numerous arses, or the times we were filling our own glasses in the hotel, beer prices were scandalous so we had to improvise!
Come to think of it the Euros was one long laugh


We may need a confessions thread with these pulling and moving tents lol,

I remember moving some ones car at a himley show with the Dudley boys, I think it was one of the Derby/Ilkeston lads, we picked up this metro and hid it behind a tree, it was a fair old carry, one of the lads Mark Norris I think, managed to bend the rear arch, I was in a load of trouble with Butch's mom and dad as I used to travel with them oops!

There is one with Roundy when he was racing rallycross, the old TC ones, I remember butch telling me when all 4 of his tyres came off and just passed the car lol

Worcester 2001 - F3/4/5's.

Milz will remember, Mr Whittle & me trying to teach you a Burnley accent, playing Fat Harry White full blast at 1am, and vomitting very loudly - some of the local residents called the fuzz.

Kyron came over to see us the next morning and told us he would speak to 'The BRCA' about sending us home like naughty school kids, we were fairly worried for a but untill we realised that Kyron did not know our names so would only be able to dob-us-in as 'them-up-there'.
We took the tent down like it was on fire, packed boxes and went to pit with Kev Kitchen in the oppsite end of the field - we just kept our heads down all day, it worked a treat.

Batley 2002/3? - Tony Bishop was so pissed he went unconcious in the middle of the football pitch, had to be dragged to bed & threw up in his sleeping bag?

[Northy]

Stu getting lost at Batley pissed?

Mr Wittle tells it best.

This is a story about proficiency in car maintenance...

A guy, a very enthusist one, was just cleaning and servicing his car between heats, rebulding most of the car. When he had finished just put a fresh batery and go running again.

Well, his car had very poor performance, no acceleration, no top speed... that was little extrange. After a few minutes he entered the boxes to verify everything.

Well, he wasn't able to find was wrong, bearings were superb, as ball diffs, motor, connections... everything, so he just figured out that batery didn't charge properly. He taked a new one and hit the track again.

This time, performance was even worse, nobody could understand why.

Desesperated this guy taked his car and started to put everything apart, he taked it to pieces completelly. Finally he found the reason for his poor performance. Are you seated?

He just forgot an allen wrench in the chassis first time he rebuild the car, this wrench produced a short-circuit when the battery was placed in the car. The wrench got so hot that it melted the molded chassis, so you can see the wrench semi-covered by melted plastic

[telboy]

I saw wayne lander (some might know him) glue his eye lid shut once

I have also seen him being escorted away from stafford by police

Yep, there for both events!!

The glue thing was at the 1998 world champ ITCC at south shields.
What a way to debut at the worlds?!
