I reckon it takes a bit of skill to pull a cart around with a scooter by hand. You can imagine looking like a tit if you got it wrong.

Cheers Jay!!! 6 years pulling the cart around the paddock without any dramas except for maybe the odd thing bouncing out over a bump or something then you say 'You can imagine looking a tit if you got it wrong.' and what happens??? BANG! Huge trolly highside!!!! She jack knived on me and I tried to ride it out but the old girl was lent far too far over and on one wheel so I had to let her go! Wheels and tyres everywhere! It got an impressive 7.5/10 from the lads at Pirelli which I managed to bump up to an 8 for a stylish dismount and bow! I think I might have been running the tyre pressures a bit too hard she was riding on her rims 3 minutes prior to the crash so I pumped them up! That and the strong winds at Donington were the main causes of the crash! Nothing to do with rider error of course!

Haha! I need to keep more of an eye out in the paddock it seems. Sounds like as much drama as on the track!
