John, Donnie, Bruce and Simon |
Never has so much understeer and
oversteer been perpetrated by so few in so short a time. In other words, some
drivers had the chance to perfect (or not!) their Scandinavian flicks ahead of
tomorrow’s Cooqie Urquhart Snowman Rally. The occasion was a wee kart race for
the top seeds at Inverness Kart Raceway close by Rally HQ. Of course, it wasn’t
about the winning, it was all about the taking part. Yeah, right!
Bruce McCombie
won the first race and Donnie MacDonald the second but since the driver were
all wearing the same colour racesuits, it might well have been Simon Hay or
John Wink who won. Listening to them afterwards, they all did. However, some of
you may be aware that Mr MacDonald has earned the nickname ‘Donnie the Ditch’ at
times in the past. Well, perhaps it’s time to change that to ‘Donnie the Wall’.
I’ll say no more but he came back from his first race disappointment to win the
second.
At the moment it is
dry in Inverness, but bitterly cold. It was actually quite sunny during the day
with blue skies until darkness descended, so goodness knows what tomorrow will
bring. Fireworks in the forest most likely. It’s been rather a long time since
the Galloping Hills.
