"The Bahkett 6-Hour Handicap Relay"

At Sliverstone,"The Home of British Motoringsport "


While I was trying "My Friend Billys" car for size more friends "Nick and Mark Wodgers" arrived and took some pictures of a "Star in a reasonably priced car" Well actually it was a "Mega Star in a Fantastic car" but I could not be bothered to blow my own trumpet (Unlike some people) He he he.




Pretty soon the worlds press was there and I was the main attraction. I did feel guilty because they should be here to promote My new Friend's " Billy and Brains" racing teams.
After a few hours they were still taking pictures of me. I reminded them that they had a race to cover, They did say sorry and scuttled off!


Great stuff the race was underway "Brain's" first driver "John Olmes" was off the line like a rocket, Phil said that rockets only last 5 minutes and soon run out of puff. Unfortunately for poor John this was in fact the case, his Gearing box gave up half way round the second lap. Poor John he tried to phone the team to tell them that he was broke but his phone had run out of credit! I think where he broke must have been a "Spotter free zone".


"My friend Billy's" first driver was "fodo" in his Kit car, he was going like the clappers and was not at all worried about the big ugly car that was tailgaiting him, Marge says that Phil would be very cross by now and might even have given the ugly car the fingers by now.


Because poor John's Gearing box went bang, Brains team had to send out the substitute driver Razzle, Although it was a shame for John it was a great opportunity for Razzle to show that his car could finish a race without conking out.


Back in the pits I had a sit in Fodo's "Kit car" Its called a "Locoblade" and must have cost a fortune. Fodo Flys planes so he must be well paid. I wonder if I should become a peelot when I grow up?


Here we see "Simon Swing" waiting to go out. The man doing the "Two Step" is "Terry the Tyres" Simon's Dad.
Terry has been known to dismantle a tyre wall on track just in case Simons time gets beaten. Apparently Terry used to work for Ferrari!


Sliverstone had some tree's full of Apples, Marge suggested we picked some to take for "Mouse in the Prison" Phil said Burger orf!
Marge wanted to say that Phil opened the back of the Cateringvan today and out fell a whole jar of "Chillied Pickling eggs" Phil said a rude word, Marge said they would be OK if we spat out the glass. In the end we left it all to the birdies. I bet the cars in that area got a hammering ha ha !


"Jenson Lappin" was doing a great job in the Green "Grandmothers Car".
It was great to see him getting round the corner when the following BMUU (Double U, Get it?) took a rather different approach and only just made it lol


I was quite worried on the next lap when this horrid Green slab of a car caught up our "Jenson", Luckily he kept his nerve and one of Brains snippers took care of the rest!


I wish we could go shopping like this!


Here we see Jenson on a shopping run for his Granny (only kidding he he)


Now this is the car I have been waiting to see, Damon Beeris in his V8 Westfield. Marge says she would happily go shopping in that car.
Phil says it sounds the business and is driven by an expert. I think it could do with a bit of yellow paint to make it perfect though!


Damon was smooth right the way through the race (Except for one point where Phil had put his camera away because "Its only Mr reliable Beeris on his way so I won't need my camera "Wrong" Ha Ha Ha, Still it was only a bit of Grass tracking that Phil missed, Nothing much eh Damon?


Marge says she had one of these once, she said it went like stink.
Marge also says Phil goes like stink so I have no idea what she means!


Meanwhile "Damon" kept on his relentlous pace, not once showing any nerves about "Brains Snippers".


It started to rain and straight away "Brain" took in Razzler and put out "Simon" he was much better in the wet conditions.
Simon was very careful and managed to avoid all the tyre wall's despite Terrys instructions LOL.


Simon did spot this rather large "Tool" on the track, the safety car was deployed while the marshalls cleared it from the track.


Compare this to Bharkston marshals, who are often a bunch of women. This bloke took 2 and a bit laps of a safety car period to remove this rather large tool from the track.
Phil said he shouted to him but he must be deaf, Marge said nothing!
