Yesterday the Bandits raced at Newark, it was the first indoor show of the season and I had forgotten how noisy it is !!!!!!!We started the morning loosing the first two races, but finished winning the third. We had many drama's in the morning, Ronny dropped his ball on the way back and in his good normal style not wanting to leave it, went back to collect it which resulted in him and Maisy crashing and taking a jump out. Neither of them were bothered and carried on, only being stopped by the judge who authorised a re-run. Then following on from that in the next race, Smartie our new dog finished the last jump and ran in the wrong direction as he is still learning, which resulted in Keisha the next dog to run crashing in to him and taking the start gate out. Amazingly she wasn't bothered either !!!!!!!
As the dogs were stealing all the lime light, dad thought it was only fair if he stole it for a moment, letting Ronny go at the start before the lights had even activated, giving us a massive false start. You can imagine how much stick he got from us for that !!!!!!!!!
By the afternoon session we had it all to play for, the fourth race went 2-2 and was on the last leg to decide who would win, unfortunately our box broke and mum had to feed the ball on the other side of the box which totally through Keisha out and we lost the leg by a whisker. We won the last race in style after borrowing another team's box, Smartie ran fantastically well and the team recorded their fastest time of the day with 20.02
We had a fantastic day and I cant wait until we race again in January as our new team of Brickyard Bullets will be out !!!!!!
