Hopefully that lad learnt from his mistakes - seriously! He spun slightly on the straight, recovered and your man plowed into the back, what mistake?....spinning out. I raced for a lot of years 12th,10th,8th club, regional, national and international and can assure you I spun off every now and then, let alone on a damp slippy track the first time I had ever raced.
I also could look more than 5 feet down the track.. If I hit something as I didn't brake, steer or move it was my fault, deal with it move on...To spend the next 5 minutes f'in and blinding and shaking your head at an 8 year old, then state at the top of your voice that you had been 'taken out by a little s**t' I am sorry but it's bang out of order.
You know what, in the two heats we ran he did not run into anyone,tried to stay out of the way but most importantly Tried to have fun which I thought was the point, I know I am biased but I was really proud of him and he is a lot better than his old man was when I first picked up the sticks.
As a note the Bury guys were great really welcoming, helpful and friendly. It was good to catch up and talk about the old days and the thread and support in relation to this shows what a good bunch of people are at the heart of the club- thanks gents!
