I had a phone call last night from the entries secretary of Smeatharpe – he started with “I’ve got a bone to pick with you”, and then my signal went bad. I was worried, and phoned him back. And he was winding me up! Turns out that the Uno in our class (which was as quick as hell) only did one lap instead of two on the last stage (setting a faster time than a WRC Impreza in the process….), and therefore got a stage maximum time in the final results. Which moved us to 2nd! We got an award! I can’t believe it! Kev’s got to go pick them up as they are glass! I’m really shocked! I’ve never done anything like this in anything competitive. Not that I think it’ll happen again, and not that I’m going to turn into some “win at all costs” gumbie, just that I’m stoked that we did well! I don’t think we’ll be needing a trophy cabinet just yet though.
