Chateau Impney soapbox derby

[pauljmcnulty]

Hi all,

Have we got three intrepid 944 register members willing to make up a team for the pedal-kart challenge? Last time we did this Tony Foote and Smiffy won it, so we'd be the team to beat this year! []

What's involved Paul? Can't help with designing and building from up here, but if you just want someone to help push?

 

[PSH]

as an ex club member this brings back memories, iirc Tony, didn't one of my sons team up with you some years back for this event? think it was the same year that I bought a tent from Steve Cox's friend and pitched next to John Sims. can't remember where it was now but know it was up North a little..

Hi Steve,

We have the pedal karts, just need a team of three drivers. []

Hi Paul,

On which day is this?

 

[pauljmcnulty]

OK Paul, as long as I can fit it in between volunteer helper duties, not sure my power to weight ratio is what it once was (!) but I'll give it a go if you don't get any offers from younger fitter types! (I'm 56 and 13 stone, but I'm a hillwalker and reasonably sound of wind and limb). Let me know if I'm required.

I'm happy to be an intrepid pedaller again, though I'm a lot older and less fit now.

Last time we won a place on a PCGB track day, a bottle of Champers and a Fortnum & Mason Hamper. Not bad for a bit of hard work and sweat

You forget my contribution on the Scalextric track, and the lazer-clay-pigeon thing. [&:]

If it is on the Sunday, count me in.
