Ryper Hobbies “540 Classic”

On Sunday I raced in the annual Ryper Hobbies “540 Classic”, an r/c event where each racer must use the same ’spec’ motor(s).
I won this event last year, and was sceptical of how this year’s event would go.
Having consumed copious amounts of alcohol the night previous, I managed to haul my arse to the track the next morning and race. (with thumping head in tow)
Qualified 2nd fastest, in the finals I placed 4th, 2nd, then 1st. The worst final dropped, and the 1st/2nd was enough for me to win the event, 2nd year in a row.
Luck? perhaps!
