After a highly productive Friday morning on October 24th, The FARM heads to Kartatak for the infamous team day out.
8 teams of three. 80 laps. Oh it's ON!
The grid:
Team Double Dragon- Earle, Wade, Nikki
Skid Marks (1st place winners!)- Natasha, Dang, James
Skull n Bones- Vanessa, K1, Ken
FWG (f*ck we're good)- Dillon, Nina, Stu
OMDD (Ozark Mountain Dare Devils) - Pete, Chrispy, Leah
Lube Mobile- C3, Hugo, Nick
RFF Really F*cking Fast - Guesty, Shannon, Daniel
The Gear Knobs- Luke, Rann, Tom
The competition = fierce.
The atmosphere = tense as the track manager claims the FARM girls will not keep up with the pool of testosterone that surrounds them. Big mistake.
It's not long before the FARMers to beat become clear.
Tash's victory after ripping up the track!
Speed Demon Stu in action (or is that Luke?!)
After many collisions (Guesty taking the cake for frequency) and even more “slow down” signs, we approach the end of the race with The Gear Knobs and The Skid Marks neck and neck ....... when disaster STRIKES!
Hitting a ‘mechanical failure’ go-kart extraordinaire Chris Rann of The Gear Knobs slows to a complete halt. Refusing to bow down to Natasha’s clear go karting wizardry, The Gear Knobs subsequently blame the incident on sabotage by her team, eventual trophy winners The Skid Marks (totes to James and The Dang also!)
FWG claimed second with OMDD taking out third place.
A crowded winner’s podium.
Festivities continued at the Light Brigade and beyond. These events need no mention here.
