Schlapp Racers

Shlapp racers were hard at it on Friday at the track league. Young Danny Whelan (14) upset the apple cart when he whopped the older-uns in all his races. He collected 2 wins (kilo scratch and points) and 2 seconds (devil and scratch) before being whisked home in time for bed.

Young Jo Wilman (16) also showed what she was made of (something more than sugar and spice) when she pulled in 2 wins (devil and kilo scratch) and a third (25 lap scratch).

Meanwhile, the other end of the age range was fought over by the older Wilman (40-odd). After 2 DNF's he had to, cap in hand, ask to be moved down a group, and scored another 2 DNF's. A perfect score.

What a great night's racing. Loads of thanks to Pete Lickfold and the officials for every Friday's racing
