Crafty Claremont have left it
too late for team honours but once again they beat the handicapper and
Adventurous Andy won with 5 seconds to spare from Dashing Dave and Little
Chris (please mister andycapper we are not very good and are about the
same standard they pleaded when they each ran GP5) They were certainly
correct about being the same standard!!!
Horrendous again caused trouble by passing me without as much as a "Hello"
with Gangling Golightly hanging on to him to become the new race leader.
Must remind Horrendous that pace making is not permitted in NSP GP's.Happy
Hollingsworth was again fastest on night with 17.51 followed by Mighty
Mellor 20.05 and Fantastic Fenwick in 20.38 just one second faster than
Hairy Hall.
I am delighted to say that both the Team and Individual results will be
in the balance until I can be persuaded to make my computer work at The
Brier Dene after GP8 (It is well known that humans can persuade me with
alcohol whereas Ladies can persuade me !)
Individual
Gangling is leading with120 points followed by Fantastic 126, Countess
Claire 127, Roaring of Blyth 130, and Viscountess Vicky with 136 points.
Just out the frame - assuming all persons compete - appear to be Mountainous
Michael (151), Daredevil Dave (152), Mighty (152) and Her Highness Helen
(155) with rank outsider Paul call me David on 158 points. As stated I
can be bribed to change the Handicaps which for GP8 are based solely on
EACH person's single best performance from GP8 last year and GP's 1 to
7 this year with handicaps at TEN second intervals.
Team
Well we call them Woodys Wimps and that they are. It was bitterly cold
last night and with only THREE competitors the wimps lost their overall
lead to the Bold Baker Boys. GTS are leading with 103 points with the
Wimps second with 101. Equal third with 98 points are The Victor Meldrews
and Roaring's team G2M with King Keith's AA in fifth position with 96
points.
Remember that the team prize is well worth having and I would seriously
suggest that team captains have a three line whip to get all runners on
the starting line.
Prize Giving
Prizes will be given to first three individuals and to EIGHT members of
the winning team, and these will be presented as soon as the computer
has decided, and I hope that likely recipients will endeavour to attend.In
addition this poor peasant in conjunction with His Excellency has persuaded
START FITNESS to again provide some prizes and these will be awarded after
the main presentation. His Excellency, Horrendous and this peasant have
come up with some ideas on how these extra prizes will be awarded. All
I am permitted to reveal is that if you are not at the prize giving then
you will NOT be eligible for these extra awards.
