Australian Karting nationals

[philneast]

From the 2002 Aussie Nationals at Archerville

Dummy spit of the weekend award:
This goes to the NSW team CRG Clubman Super Heavy driver who got tangled with his team mate on the first corner of the final. Most people would throw their gloves or in extreme cases their helmet, not this guy. He dragged his Kart off the track and than threw it as hard as he could to the ground.


Idiot of the Finals:
I am awarding this one to the driver (sponsored by a major auto parts and accessories organisation) who who ended up stalled on the straight after turn two. His kart blocked the inside third of the track and he stood in the middle of the track and took his gloves off ( against the rules!!) and threw them into the seat. All this while the field finished the lap and were heading towards him. He got a bit of encouraging from the crowd to clear the track.

The Got To Buy a Lottery Ticket Award:
Goes the the second place clubman Super Heavy driver who got dropped from the pack in the first corner incident and who inherited a distant second place when the leading pack all went off going into turn three.


A great days racing though

LOL , sounds like it was a good meet Phil, its funny sometimes when you sit back and take things in from a spectators perspective , kinda makes you realize how silly it all can be at times
