Well done to the Subaru teams

ESC Girls team did well, ESC boys team did better and the MSOC team did even better


Don't think there will be another invite to an Mitsibushi event again

So, as no result list has been posted, can I assume that the Msocks won and we didn't.............

Well erm. Yep MSOC 1st, ESC 2nd ESC ladies won best car also. Kent scoobies were out in the lead at one point until severe rear hub failure. In our defence we were suffering from engine temp issues and we overheating for 2 hours and the car literally just made it over the finish line before dying in a cloud of smoke. Lol

So an FTO wouldn't complete the race eh!

The Evo boys were taking a book at what lap we would fail

I had the honour of bringing her home in the last stint and as soon as she saw the chequred flag come out the dash lit up and she died


Fantastic result and team effort by MSOC

Kent HOW MUCH FUEL DID THAT CAR DRINK!!!! Bad luck as we had a 1,2,3 until your car gave up so close to the end

Car 7 YOUR TIME ATTACK DRIVER WAS A ****!!!

Big thanks to Arkwright, Brian, Neil and Steve for all the work on the car and your performance on the track

Girls WHAT CAN I SAY


Big Thanks to TEAM MLR for putting this event on

BRING ON 2011

Not only did it last, but it has been brought home to prepare for next year's race!!

Firstly - Well Done to the girls team - it took a lot of guts to get out there with some of those men!
There were a few nerves before & during the afternoon but everyone went out & drove brilliantly!
We finished which is more that a lot of other teams!
And we were voted Best Car!!

Well done to the Fat B#st#rds - we didn't think the car would make it but you brought it home in second!

And a huge well done to the MSOC - a well deserved win & a brilliant drive - bring on the gloating - you have earnt it!!

Thanks to the MLR for organising another cracking event - PLEASE RUN IT IN 2011

Finally thanks to B3n Robbie Mark & Jess for all their help & support in the pits - we couldn't have done it without you!

Best moment of the day for me - qualifying lap was awesome - I qualified 10th for the girls & Ark qualified 9th for the boys - only 0.4 of a second in front. He was in a 2 litre FTO I was in a 1.6 Colt, so who is faster???
and
Being voted Best Car by all the other teams & spectators - thanks!

Worst moment of the day for me - strapped Trace in to the car - slammed the door but it wouldn't shut, when I tried to see why B3n told me it was because his hand had been in it - so sorry B3n x

And yes, no 7 was a ****!

It was a brilliant day. Thanks to my fellow team drivers and all the helpers which make the day a huge team effort well done everybody.
The Girls team are now officially Brave and fearless. Respect for even starting the event and mahoosive respect for going the distance and showing loads of blokes how to do it in style in the best turned out car of the year.
Well done the MSOC for winning
I`m already thinking about next year and as 10 teams have already shown interest in doing it again Let`s get it on.

What a fantastic weekend, we're all still buzzing here.

Big thanks to all those that helped prepare the car, sorry I couldn't be more help, but I'm pretty useless when it comes to mechanical stuff.

And thanks to Ben,Robbie,Jess and Mark for your support and help on the day.

Roll on MLR 2011.
