What was with all the people bailing on a second lap?
More so the "Pain Train" gang standing around looking more PD gang then Train.

Datsane that was plan A and we executed it brillantly, drinking all the beer that the likes of Ingrid etc didn't when they were taking the red bull instead (she had a great ride too). Frame of mind wise, we all went into it with the "lets have fun" attitude from the get go, so results wise, didn't give a hoot. A few of the boys did the 2 laps, but most of us raced for the beer tent title FTW. Vincenzo 1st Focker 2nd Wazza 3rd

If some of us had trained 100's of hours like Mr Buysmen, maybe we would have gone plan B and made the smart move of following Garth around like a stalker for a good start , but end of the day, there is only one winner and it wasn't going to be any of us

We were all super stoked to watch the scull off and sprint finish between Rad Ross and G-berg - from all the Pain Train, outstanding effort Garth! :thumbsup:

For those who don't know Ben Bostrom who finished 3rd can ride a Superbike pretty well too.

I was only ever there for fun. Hell I dressed as a roadie :lol:

But knowing where I finished would have been nice. Not that it would really mean much with the great traffic jam, which was dealt with in a every interesting and effective ish manner :thumbsup:

I'm most grumpy that I had to drink two beers oh well live and learn.

Whens the next SS race :paranoid:

What's wrong with drinking two beers, I was stoked to drink four beers and smoke the rockdrop...

Whats right with it more to the point it tastes like arse. I'd much rather lick my armpit if I had the choice.
The total number of beers I had drunk start to finish tripled Saturday :lol:

I've never had a starbucks coffee does that make me a bad person to?

Bloody fussy pooftahs

Thank your lucky stars it was not something like Rhieneck

I like to think that a I have a well balanced palette, not that I'm a poof.
The brand doesn't make much difference to me, in some ways that would have been better then all the beers drinker would have been grumpy to

there were a few photographers around the course - did these photos ever end up anywhere?
