Well Done boys!! Well deserved win and a great team effort!!

Enjoy your moment of glory! And the gloating....

Well done too for the MSOC girls Jackie & Janine who made up 50% of Team Scooby Doo - the only all girl team to compete let alone finish!
Despite a few nerves before & during the race everyone stepped up to the plate & got us home in one piece.

Also thanks to everyone who voted us Best Car!!

Bring on MLR500 2011 - I for one can't wait!

Fantastic Weekend, loved it all! Thanks to everyone involved

And... well done to all the Scooby teams, *thats* how to drive, Evo boys! (And of course the build, strategy, support teams and sheer effort it takes to do well at the MLR500, proven by the ESC, Kent and the girls' team and of course the MIGHTY MSOC!)

Love this picture I found of me and Dave

Time for my take on things

Big respect to Mechell, Darin, Lee and the organising team
We need you for this to happen and cannot thank you enough

After last years attempt we thought we could get a 3rd at least
Kept it simple and bought low mileage 2 owner cars
Qualified well in last and second last, Matt
Sorted out our game plan and set off behind you lot
Had our fair share of incidents but came through them all, eh Sid
Mags as usual tried his best to dent every panel
Guv for once read and followed the instructions on the tin
And they left me the easy bit of getting it over the finish line all be it
with the fuel guage off the scale, who said it does 40mpg
Other thanks go to Dave, Woody, Monkey, Ricky and Stephen(you know why)
Also Richard at Ruislip Tyre Services
Richard at FB Tuning
Simon at CHS

I would also like to say thanks to all the guys from other teams, some of
who were not still running, for offering their help if we needed it(Raj uk to name one)

Hope i didnt miss anything/anyone out and see you at next years

Anyone fancy driving in MSOC3?

Haha less of that young man! Sandbagging at it's finest!

Favourite moments:
- The MSOC making their presence felt at the campsite on Friday
- Reminding Car #1 that they ought to be a bit more careful after the practice session, then politely waving them through as they retired
- Mine and Ricky's stint on a drying circuit going from 5th and 8th to 2nd and 5th respectively, that was a massively fun drive!
- Mags and Sid battling Kent between 1st and 2nd places in the final stages! (Not got any fingernails left)
- Camraderie with Kent and the ESC
- Watching Budgie and Ricky bring the cars home victorious

Well - another year over

Well done MSOC1 - and thanks to everyone for taking part..and coming along.

And - according to Mr Boss man - there will (more than likely ) be an MLR500 2011!!! (yeah, I'm thinking I must be mad )

It will be the same as this year - need committed folk for it to go ahead - so it will be up for buying your place very soon - I'll pop back and let you know when - and as per 2010 - if we get enough to take part, it will be done!


Again - BIG thanks for coming along and being part of what we think is a great fun event..

See some of you soon - and some of you sooner... take care and if you have any questions - please contact me though the MLR (mechell - yeah, I know, inventive with my user names ) as I don't get here often..
