A noticeable headwind persisted throughout the contest today, hence the less impressive distances when compared to last time.

Congrats to Elendil for his winning number-plate.

Commiserations to Mick for his (negative) result with Led Sled.

Catch of the day went to Mook, who caught a C11 engine on the full when it popped from Juz's vehicle.

Lastly, a very special mention to Sam, who sent me the following text later in the day:

"One of my wheels was jammed from my first run. That's why it went so retarded after that. Fuck! I should have checked it."

Not a bad mid-field placing of 50 feet, considering that.

Thanks to everyone who showed; spread the word, and next time bring more spectators.

We are yet to decide on the date for the next 'un...give us a few days to think about something other than rockets.

If we wait for Dave then it'll be some time in March or April.


Thanks again for the effort,

The Organisers.

19 entries!! Sounded like it was awesome!! I made the decision to not go out and spend the day not talking (no mean feat for me). As a result i was able to go to work on Monday and am now almost talking normally. Congratulations on all the racers; can't wait to see footage!!
