This is the smile of Adam after beating his dad at Harewood today.
After a day of swapping times Adam prevailed.

Well done

Well done Adam. Thanks go to you and your father for tugging me off that muddy patch today.

I'm sure your father would want it to be known that he tugged someone off today at Harewood in his Transit.

Hell he probably would want it to be known that he has such a kind heart he would tug anyone off, anywhere they like in his Transit, they only have to ask.

Regards,

Yours with a broken transmission of some kind,

Richard

Congratulations Adam its a good feeling when you beat your dad.

Just wait until you have a pot in your hand next time just to rub it in even more & get plenty of photo's as he deny it ever happened :lol:

Mine keeps saying he ran out of fuel due to a re-run after a red flag incident :lol:

Might be damp - Can you bring the tow rope for the van? The marshals always have a rope available for when I'm on the track..!!

How did I miss this one!

Yup, I am officially fatter & older & slower than my little boy!

There's time to get my own back yet though. Roll on this Sunday for the return match :)

I am also happy to confirm that I am always happy to pull anyone off in my Transit as long as they are consenting adults or children with the permission of their parent or Guardian :oops:

Errr.. we've had a Xmas between last year and this, and... lets just say I might need a new race suit. :?

I may well enter this but not sure what in yet, I'm sure I'll have something useable by then. :)
