2022 can be flushed down the pan - what a simply ghastly year. Enjoying motorsport(as I did ) felt frivolous against the backdrop of Ukraine . I hope and pray 2023 is better . And I count the days until Goodwood MM

Happy New Year everyone. I hope you enjoyed your swim Iain, we were on a Cornish beach on Christmas Day, but apart from getting my walking boots wet, I didn't go any nearer to the sea!

Last night was very nearly a "different" NYE when the truck tail lift failed at a kart track. It was in the down position obscuring the lights so no chance of driving it home and a long wait for the recovery was expected.

Turns out those red isolator switches that are so unreliable on racing cars are also unreliable when they're used on a tail lift, and the slow drive to a safe place to wait for the breakdown truck jiggled it around. While demonstrating to the gate guard just why I needed to park up outside his hut, that familiar "whirr......clunk" meant I could actually "celebrate" at home! Woo hoo!

Happy New Year everyone.

What an "uplifting" end to 2022 for you, Max!

I'll add my Happy New Year wishes to those already posted.

Hope it's a good one for all on here.

Not too sorry to see the back of '22, for a variety of reasons - not least of which, from a racing perspective, was the last event of '22 (for me) at Donington back in September, which culminated in a competitor losing it right in front of me exiting the chicane, and suddenly rejoining and spearing right across the track about a car's length in front of me. No time to react and nowhere to go - slammed into it before I'd had a chance to scrub any speed off, resulting in significant damage to both cars.

I guess that's racing. Was it Mark Webber that said "If you're gonna race cars, mate, you're gonna crash cars, mate!"?

Thank you Cliff! I spent the day with old friends who tried to break down my resolve not to race again. Great fun!

A question raised itself at the dinner table tonight. Are there any car race circuits where there's a "God hour" on a Sunday to allow the local church service to take place?

I think Thruxton has a Church break around 11am on Sunday & Goodwood has something similar. I know there’s no racing at Lime Rock Park in the US on a Sunday.

Max, don’t give up racing just yet, you look as if you have many years racing ahead of you looking at your profile picture
