Tall Stories from the Nats

This is a pic of the Chopster after he took me on the straight. I didn't see him coming so he overtook me without me waving him through.

Instant disqualification? Do we take the trophy off him?

The story I tell my mates is that the pic was taken just before I ducked inside him under brakes going into the first bend and powered past him up the hill.

This is another pic on me under pressure going into the tight left hander at the bottom of the hill after the "s" bends. When we got to the top of the hill Will flashed his lights at me and I waved him through.

I tell my mates that I had put him under so much pressure during the previous lap that he had just pulled to one side and let me through.

This is a pic of me taking the chequered flag. I tell my mates that the organisers forgot to bring the trophys to the meet and that they will be sending it to me in the mail. (Sorry Timbo).

I have ordered a trophy from the local trophy shop with my name on it.

Don't worry, mate -- if your mates don't believe you, just get 'em to ring me. I'll put 'em straight

Aha! A big flaw in this one. Everyone now knows Choppy drives one handed

I didn't mention this before, but I have to give credit where credit is due. The pics I used were taken by Paul Chapman Photography and came off the cd I purchased on the day.

You are right Taka, the pic with the chequered flag is awsome.
