I had the pleasure of handing out awards on Saturday evening - wisely, Nick did the talking, I just handed them over like some ugly demented game show hostess and offered my congrats to the winners. But I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed doing so. It's interesting to see the emotions that cross the faces of those who get an award. Some of them came up to collect with a rather shy, don't make a fuss, almost embarrassed air. Some came up with the air of a practised but modest pro. But the ones that really made an impression on me were the ones who had a schoolboy thrill about them, not arrogant, just overjoyed and enjoying the moment - and to see their fellow competitors genuinely pleased for them as well. That's what this is all about. It was a real privilege to pass out the awards to them all - one of the better parts of the job. Congrats from the chair to everyone on the organising team, to everyone who volunteered and gave of their time, to the marshals, to the people at Blyton, and to the competitors for a fine, fine weekend. It will be hard to top that one but I know they will all try!

http://www.jcbphotography.co.uk/section739673.html Link takes you to one of the professional photographers. Unfortunately it appears that he was in the right place to capture Paul Aspens's and my spins!!!!!! I have to say Paul A's is much better than mine There are other photos of the sprint and if you are not included then just drop him a note via the "Contact" page with details of your car and he will publish for you to review.

There you go Filfan, the dropped scores were not being taken off the final scores - Now fixed. Just have to fix the sort order now and we're done but the scores are correct so looks like your on top

Good call AdamR - I will fettle a mobile rolling road to fit in the back of the horse lorry :-) A veritable mobile corss flow powered generation station :-)

Good run out.... Giles in front ..past Beacon Fell, through the Trough and up to Jubilee Tower, roads very quiet and only 1 casualty Darren managed to lose half a wing his indicator pod and a ruined 888 a sheep decided it didn't like Westfield's ...happy to say it ran off ...we all had the mint sauce at the ready

I've come to my senses, keeping the car and being patient while I save my pennies!
