Bev, Paul, us bears and Tony the Chimp went to the racing at Coventry on Saturday night and Hednesford on Sunday. And what a great time we had! Ok, Saturday night was cold and miserable, and poor Bev was on her own while Paul was a flag-marshal. Bev is no fan of shale tracks, Frankie didn't have a great night, so we would give that meeting a bit of a thumbs-down if we bears had such things as thumbs. The marshalling was great, but the rest of the meeting was average.
But Sunday was a different kettle of fish, with Frankie in blistering form and determined to show Stuart Smith Jnr who was really the best driver on the fastest oval track in Europe. Frankie won both heats but had to pull out of the final with a mechanical problem, so SSJ won. However, in the Grand National, Frankie was back to his blistering form and won the race. Frankie may no longer had the silver aerofoil, but he is still the best driver on the track, and if anyone disagrees with us bears, we will get Tony to rip your arms off and beat you to death with them!
Anyway, after that it was a spectacular fireworks display, followed by Reliant Robin racing and banger racing, both of which were actually quite fun.
We didn't get home again until after 10pm, but we had a fun weekend.
