Best of British Weekend

... numerous words will probably follow but its time for one of the lazy round ups that I do from time to time....


KIRKCALDY KING OF BRITS - GEOMAC BACK AND NOT CACK!

Blue top Alan Kirkcaldy (795) turned pole into chequered, as he became the 2012 British Champion, in a faultless display on a rare hot day in Scotland with a rarer mid 40's turnout for the Racewall.
The return of George Macmillan Jnr (100) to the track, after incidents saw him dally with Lochgelly and the Superstox, to see him try and take the title that his dad took in 1993. Sadly for Geomac,
Funniest thing was watching the epic race on twitter thanks to pacing sister Liz Polley and her sister in law Jo Polley (spouse of Barrington Goldin (401)) pace around for little nuggets of information, like expectant fathers in the delivery room, such was the epicness of this race. More red flags than at communist rally, and more incidents of note. Normal service was resumed, as within a couple of laps the field thinned out to something they were more accustomed too, a race with 16 cars or less! 31 started, only 8 finished in a war of attrition. Some fans said that this was one of the best meetings for a long time at the Fife track, and that the racing was top notch. Just need turnouts like this a few more times, although the English contingent was a little on the small side.

SPOTTED RANDALL DELIVERY

Whilst taking Gerty (the Golf) down to get her rear sorted at the Vospers centre at Victoria, I spotted the 2010/11 Randall of Jay Tomkin (290) on the back of a trailer. Destination was "up north" according to my sources.

A VERY NICE AVERY CAR FOR RYAN

Ex Saloon driver and Bristol's most local driver (if it wasn't for the hill he could push it there) Ryan Wilding (476) has traded in the Battenbuilt of previous use to Rob Batten (467) for the Motorworld used in the last two seasons by Jamie Avery (126) and the recent stop gap for Richard Beere (254). He's off the white grade and is starting to get the hang of things and should be one to catch!

CHRIS IS THE DADDY AGAIN

Hot on the heels of final wins, Weston's very own RCE pilot, Chris Mikkula is a dad again. Partner Grace gave birth to the as yet unnamed baby boy who weighed in at 7lb 1oz. Congrats to mum and dad.

A busy weekend ahead folks.... might be about somewhere, but torn to where!
