Well who'd have thought

I actually won something this season (apart from the hearts of many)

Yep that's right, 'Dented Tank Award' - The award for the most spectacular (idiot) crash of the season.

This was of course, the hardest fought catergory in Desmo Due this season, with entries coming from...

Nick Boustead,
Phil Huntley,
Duncan More,
Kev Ellis (twice - oops!),
Mike Atack (sorry),
Antony Espindola (twice),
Paul Payne,
Chris Butcher,
TP (twice),
Dave Reilly (twice),
Clint De Tarnowsky (twice),
Ali Bisson (at least 7 times? tee hee),
Antoine Josserand,
Timothy Howard (just the once),
Ian Leah,
Chris Wood,
Glyn Hinsley,
Mike Dawson,
Lin Jones,
and last but not least Andy Roberts!!!

What a list eh?!?!?!?!

I'd like to thank everyone who made this possible, including Chris 'Squirilly off the line' Butcher - not for crafting the award, but for his own entry - taking out Tony 'I'd rather be lying in the beach at Brands' Perrin, on the start line at Cadwell. Without these truely great guys and of course the infamous Antony 'Don't come near me or you'll fall off' Espindola, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to torpedo Mike Atack in such an acrobatic fashion. I'd also like to thank Paul 'The Donington Cannonball' Payne for donating a piece of history (flatest tank in race history!) to create the award.

I think that deep down, we're all winners (losers) in a our own special way.

Dickie has the video evidence somewhere - get it online Dickster

Thanks again everyone - well done, you've all excelled in crashing

Have a safe 2006 - Hopefully there won't be a winner of this award next season
