Rattler's quick CC report

Arrived Friday, drank tea, got scrutineered, ate roast, very nice, cycled track, got tired, had beer, even nicer, drank tea, slept badly.

Up Saturday, woke early, drank tea, polished bike, check fuel, adjust chain, got nervous, Harry arrived, fed Harry, ahh bless.

Qually's up, really hot, drink water, bloody hot, arrive early, get out, up pace, feel good, really hot, 4th place, well chuffed, drank tea, smile alot

Race 1, front row, straight line!, on pole(ish), good start, hit Quarry, exit third, bloody hell, push on, cold tyres, sod it, press hard, exit chicane, cement dust, keep pushing, block line, push on, at chicane, get squeezed, brake late, not enough, Andy passes, oh bugga, nail it, 4th place, lap 2, same again, work hard, need tea!!!, miss gear, Kyle through, not happy, chase hard, running 5th. Pressing hard, more laps, Leah passes, now 6th, no way, get back, into Quarry, block pass, 5th again, outdragged, passes again, in 6th, no chance, into Quarry, closed out, no way, make lunge, get 5th, hang on, finish race, thank godm catch breath!!!

Get back, feed Harry, drink tea, talk ****. Feel pleased. More tea, more beer, talk bolox, more bolox, eat barby, happy camper.......

Race 2, over cast, still hot, bloody hot, bloody nervous, Griff crashed, tough break, unlucky mate. Front row, warm up (again), more cement, less grip?, who knows, sod it. Launch hard, good start, into Quarry, brake late, really late, see god, oh god, exit second, bugga me, 2nd place, who me?, surely not, press on, what now, guess what, get passed, guess who, chemical Ali, he's quick, keep up, no chance, now third, at chicane, get passed, not again, yep Andy, now 4th!! push on, across line, bike dies, fug it, no response, slowing up, what's wrong, kill switch, turned off, by mistake, schoolboy error!!, f'ing tawt!!!, get started, press on, now 6th, Kyle passes, nice fella, very quick, really smooth, lucky fugger, speed up, press hard, catching 5th, too late, got home, 6th place, bit down, not happy, need tea, breathe out!!

Sum up - my best qualifying in 4th, matched my best placing of 5th, followed with a strong 6th. A great battle with Ian was my best DD moment to date.

Good results, but a chance missed, I was in second spot and got stage fright!!!! - a learning experience, great to follow Dom, Kyle, Andy, Ali and Ian closely, I learnt a lot.

Thanks to Phil and Kelly, all supporters, all fellow DD racers for great company, Weeksy and Nelly for coming up, Chass and Lucie for the tea, but most of all Karen for bringing Harry to support his Daddy.

Onwards and upwards

Can we go race Oulton yet?

Brilliant report Tim, made I larf a lot

You're getting there dude for sure, just keep plugging away. You're good enough for a piece of the silverware, I have no doubts.

Great company as well. Always a pleasure, and Harry is beautiful baby - who's the father?

Good luck at Oulton fella, hope you get your podium soon.

How much tea can you drink, & by the way you sneaked off without paying.

Nice report mate.
