2009-08-28 Fri - Hackney Wick Drag Sprints: Second Edition

it was a fun night out. it was cinthya wo won, clive

Did you? I thought that the guy on the Paddy Wagon qualified for Vets and beat you.

That was me. I was slower than Clive, but I was wasn't feeling very well. Next time, vengeance will be mine.

Tom it was so dark it might as well have been you in the final. Tika, if she did, it was very close.

How come everyone noticed my lycra despite the dark? Worrying.

great night , amazing orgenizer , i think the winner was from walthamstow side , was too clear anyway

Do we need the photo finish to decide?

i won it

Er? conservative_values won, not MA3K. They went up against each other in the final.

conservative_values won by a mile.

I had gotten away quicker than him and had a slight lead, but he got his engine in gear and steamed right past me.
I knew that he had the momentum, I had topped out so I sat up.

Cynthia won the women's I was reliably told.

Good night all round, nobody got hit by lighting and I didn't have a heart attack(I'm 33).

Thanks Gus for the organisation.

Probably because it is lycra, Lawyer Le Roth.

They didn't, Clive. They just made the usual assumptions about you. ;P

I was wearing my lycra under my skinny jeans where no-one noticed it.

Great second edition of Drag Sprints. Perfect site, brilliant organisation and a thrilling competition! Where was the sound system?

Excellent.

Fame! Watch out Hollywood..

Can I just say, 58 secs in: WTF? And where is the footage of Mr. Motivator (aka CliveO in lycra)

Awesome video CLAUS! nice one!!!

claus - that is an amazing video.

Just read this thread - Been working at home tonight wondering what else to do and all that's going on. Next time.....

Excellent work, claus! Superb video, really atmospheric, with a nice mixture of bright and dark bits! And lovely little Ada, too. :)

I'm still chuckling at the trash talking between Tim and Tao at the start of their race.

Gus, great job on the organising front. Claus, sweet video dude.

Looking at the video footage, there was definately some "pushing" going on

Good video claus.

But my jersey really was older than he was.

Tao, I just hope you take it easy on me in a few years time:-)

Cool vid.

Something slightly disturbing about the chap with flashing pants 55sec's in; is that a visual effect you've added or has said man picked something up from a lady friend?

ha ha.
I had not noticed that, maybe that is why I look so disturbed..

I love 00:36-00:41.
