GIRL RACER asked in SportsMotorcycle Racing · 1 decade ago

'RACING' In The SNOW?

Due to Sunday's 'Snow Down' and our trip to Brands being cancelled, we (myself, kids, dog and

im in doors) decided we'd hold our own race day !!!

With a collection of items from the garage : heavey duty compost bag, traditional sledge, Grandma (clerk of the course)Honda Hawk belly pan, an industrial sized baking tray, stopwatch, 2 very newly moved in neighbours (marshalls) and the bonnet off a Mini Sprite. - There was no stopping us.

Anyone else utilise the day with similar event ?

First to guess winning object gets the 10 points.

I know it's the 'Motorcycle Racing' section - I

honestly tried but just couldn't find the 'Sledging' one !!(lol) - XxX - 'you know who you are' - XxX -

Update:

Auburn - I can't tell you some of the things poor old Grandma gets roped into ! but I think she secretly loves em all.

Wiggy - you'll never need an invite - its goes without saying, your one of the family now, - XxX -

Thanx Mr Proc - XxX -

GOD - yes I would be & p - but wouldn't have them any other way though!

Dingo - Switched if off as soon my man Nori was on his ar*s !

So for the Race results then :

Sledge - Non starter

Belly Pan - DNF (sorry Auburn, it was really the wrong shape, was OK with my 3yr old - but the rest of us to heavy & completly trashed it.

Baking Tray - 3rd Mini Bonnett - 2nd

Compost Bag 1st (it had to be really)

Well done to you all - but I do have to give the points to the 'first' rather than 'best' - XxX -

    i think the baking tray won or the bonnet,

    your avatar is rather unfortunate btw. naked bum on motor cycle is not appealing, aesthetically it doesnt go together.

    Good for you, absolutely brilliant! Too few families do things like that nowadays. It was probably more fun that standing around at Brands hatch shivering and I expect the kids will remember it more that a day at the racing. My kids are grown up with kids of their own so I just looked at the snow from inside the house while busy stripping wallpaper (no, I didn't have as much fun as you did)

    Who won? Which object won? Who really cares? You had a great time with the family, that's all that matters.

    ... did you film it for posterity? I'm sure it would be much more entertaining than some of the "entertainment" on TV.

    I'm going with the Heavy Duty Compost Bag. it sounds like an outsider, like my young star Scott Redding.

    And I disagree totally with Pickles, you look very comfortable wrapped around that machine.

    The Bellypan makes it a motorcycle racing Question !!!

    I will go with the belly pan as the auspicious winner of the race.

    Sounds like you had fun and I found the use of granny amusing as my mum has actually done flag duty at several National events and has the nickname Motocross Nanny.

    Hey GR

    it's gotta be the compost bag - having chucked myself (and others) down many snowy slopes on many daft things - though not tried a belly pan yet - I know the virtues of having a bin bag stuffed in your pocket when there's snow lying, and you may be a bit too pissed to walk back to the chalet!

    At least you got to see the WSBK's !

    I'm going to go with the heavy duty compost bag, it must be a clear favourite.

    Bad luck with brands hatch, but it sounds like you had a great day anyway.

    You wouldn't be talking about w......... would you, lets not change him.
