With no sleep from the day before
I found my self down at Strathy
for 4am with my carryout waiting
for the bus down to TOTB and boy was
I in for a sleepless day!
The drinking got underway on the way down and you fell asleep at your own risk. The clippers were on the go with people waking up with half an eyebrow missing to a full head of hair gone. The antics didn’t stop at all on the way down with it all kicking off in the service station that was charging a tenner for a cooked breckie.
Once we got down the TOTB there was not a cloud in the sky and it was nice to see that a lot of the guys made it down from Knockhill almost in one peace. The car park on its own was filled with motors I could only dream of owning and once we got inside it got even better. From Team Skyline and Keith Cowie's 1300BHP beast to a Nissan Micra that was good for 160MPH.
With track side passes in hand we headed over towards the quarter mile and handling circuits to catch some breath taking action and a lot of sub 10 second quarter mile times with the best car getting to a 100MPH in just under 4 seconds.
Unfortunately I missed Mr Cowies head to head with the Duke Skyline with the hangovers and sore heads getting the better of most off the guys on the bus it was time to head home, again fighting with sleep to stay awake so I didn’t lose what’s left of the hair on my sunburnt head.
Big thanks again to Mad K for organising the coach there and back it was deffo not a journey I will not forget in a hurry, what a laugh and roll on next year.
