Ist Annual GP Wizard GP

[Steven Roy]

To the best of my knowledge none of us have seen any of the rest of us drive so I am not sure what the voting is based on.

[Scott]

Hey, you've got 4 votes Steven...not sure what you're complaining about!   

[Slugger]

I've seen Neil drive and i've seen his friend

[Dare]

Who's this guy here

[Slugger]

Lol where did you get photos already?

That's Neil.p

[Steven Roy]

The one conclusion I can take from this pole is that the population of GP Wizard are hopeless at predicting winners.  The two favourites failed to win the event.  The GP Wizard contigent did well though.  Scotty won the event followed by Neil and I cam third even though I am certain that I was fourth and despite speaking up for the anonymous half of sidepodcast who should have been third the organisers insisted that i had lapped him at some point.

I am sure everyone who was there enjoyed the event although it was a bit chilly to say the least.

[Neil.P]

I really enjoyed the karting yesterday, think I've only just thawed out though. Good to meet everyone and thanks to Ali for organising.

Slugger have you any pictures from the meeting at the resrraunt,
would luv to see them

[Scott]

Actually I don't think anyone took pics at the restaurant, but Slugger took plenty at the race. 

It was great to meet everyone in person.  A special thanks to Ali for organizing it and giving me great tips for the AIS show as well.  Neil gave me a real run for my money, but I managed to squeak ahead in the points giving me pole for the final when I never looked back. 

Early in the heats Steven pulled a Schumi squeeze on me once, but I managed to get by him.  That guy Mr C from Sidepodcast had a back end that was 40ft wide - even when he blew a corner, he'd just swerve back in. 

I had a blast, now I just have to figure out how to get my trophy past airport security tomorrow.

Hope you guys liked the chocolate!

Hi Dare

I didn't take any at the restaurant i'm afraid. Should have thought of that.

I know I am now...

I came last. A broken kart is only part of the explanation.

Even I thought it was cold, and I'm used to living in a cold house...

Sidepodcast's audio commentary of the event plus interviews.  Videoing unfortunately wasn't an option.


Scott,

I slightly modified your last post.  Like our on GP Wiz the male half of sidepodcast likes to hide his real name.  He is known either as MrC or "me" which causes all sorts of confusion.

[Slugger]

So that's why they don't want me to post the photo of the timing screen then. They said I could get into trouble.

At the end of last night he was convinced he could not maintain his anonimity much longer.  I have no idea why he wants to be anonymous but if that's what he wants so be it.  I have e-mailed the link for your photos to Christine rather than post it on the site.
