Strange feeling when the engine starts to go sideways. We did get round the ring both days but only by having a good run up. That and been towed off the site got the wheels messed up.

The tractor drivers did a sterling job of extracting those in need of a tow!

Here's a picture of us on Saturday, nice four wheel drift....

it's bad enough going sideways under your own power, it feels 10 times worse going sideways when being towed espeically when the lake is less than 6 feet in the direction of the slide.

I want to echo the thanks to Chris, Olly and all the others who pulled off the rally field.
