What, you mean if you had a fitter he could have repaired the bus and you wouldn't've had to pull it?Grin Should've taken Wayne with you.

Joking aside, great work big fellow. Definitely getting there. Bet you took a few 'scalps' today.

Thanks Martin and Pete,I must add 3 or 4 did drop out leaving either 14 or 16 competitors.Wayne Catt,daughter Tara,Kelly and pops came to cheer me on.Wayne and Kelly even helped out by sitting in the 4by4!!Roll-Eyes I was pleased overall though,made afew mistakes,got a lot of work to do though.Im not sure of points tally but I think it was quite close between my 6th place and 4th spot which was the last qualifying position.Ill check on that once the results come on.Shawn Kenny got 4th,he put in a good performance today.

Dont forget it's all still very new to you Mick. Massive improvements are bound to come both in performance and position.

Thanks Andy,BSM Final 2009 would be amazing but Ive a s**t load of work to do to achieve that goal.The pool of talent in the sport seems very deep.But I suppose the polished performances come from years of practice and experience.The overhead work with you and the Adlington lads is paying off.Got 2 reps on the 125 log,not great but I couldnt manage a rep on 120 6-7 weeks back.Overall Im happy with the progress.

Excellent day out there eh Mick. I thought you and shaun were very strong in all the events, great performance and great experience for you both. Next time i'll bring my shades and sun cream though, i got battered by the sun! Also may sign up for that joke of a karoke!!!! Happy

great work mick, good to nail these comps to identify weaknesses and then just go about eliminating them.

And well done for big shawn for qualifying! Hard work pays off!

I know what you mean about the karoke,it was arse wipeingly bad.Superb place and atmosphere though.Thank for the encouragement Ste.Not so sure about that bus pull though,found that extremely tough.
