Jen Crosby's Racing BlogBlogging my first race season.... |
Thursday November 30, 2006
I'd been looking forward to the end of season Dinner & Dance all year. In fact, I'd been looking forward to it since I went to it last year! I remember really well how at last years do I sat thinking how in 12 months time I'd have completed a season's racing, and I'd be sat with everyone as a club member and not just a guest. And it did feel different. I know loads more people, and listening to the awards being handed out to friends and fellow racers meant more somehow, I felt really proud and privileged to be there. One of the best things about the event
is having the chance to be all girly and dress up – not something I
get to do often at all! It's always lovely to see everyone from the
paddock all smart and gorgeous too – a far cry from the way we
usually meet: all covered in oil and in our leathers! We shared a
table with the lpracing crew and friends, and Greville, and our table
ended up being very heavily laden with trophies as the night went on!
I was so proud of everyone as they went to receive their well earned
prizes: Greville with his 1st for SBK400, Nick with 1st
for the Shootout and 2nd for the SBK400, and Greg with his
2nd for C400. And it didn't stop there – Greg P, Toby
and I also got awarded the Lance Capon Bowl for our contribution to
the club! It was a complete surprise, I had absolutely no idea about
it! I must admit, I still don't really understand why I got
it, I wasn't really listening when Dave was talking about it before
our names were announced as I didn't realise it was going to be
relevant! Still, I'm very chuffed to have got it The trophy presentations went on for aaages, followed by the raffle draw, so by the time they put the music on for us all to have boogie it was pretty late already. Which was a shame, because at 2am, when they switched the music off, it felt like the night had only just started! Still, it was a great night – fantastic to see everyone in the party mood away from the circuit. Thanks to Bemsee, and all my friends for making it such a brilliant night!
