Scalextric

It was Marks birthday on Thursday, so last nite we had a surprise party for him, but not just your regular party – few friends, food etc, we went to play scalectrix!

‘Come on, that’s gonna be boring!’ I’m sure your thinking, and so did I went the idea was put forward, but it was actually amazing! there were 18 of us which, with 6 lanes, meant 3 group qualifiers with the top 2 from each group making the final. Each group heat consisted of 6 races allowing everyone to use each car once. I started out well on the yellow car, winning, but as i reached the red and greens cars, my luck wasn’t so good! Thankfully I redeemed myself and ended up qualifying first in my group!

The final was gonna be tough, me and rick from my group and clarke, scott simon and ivan from the others… I should have been in for a good chance at at least coming 2nd or 3rd.. or so I thought. I was terrible, every race crashing out after 1 or 2 laps, the pressure just got to me and I think I ended up last! The night however was a really great one, and ill definitely be wanting to go back for another go, and try to beat my fastest lap of 10.9 seconds!
