Speed Sunday Kart Challenge (Thruxton)
Posted by _Alex_
Gosh, I haven't been here for a while! I don't think I need to ask how things are; it looks like the forum is thriving!
Anyway, I'm actually here for a bit of a plug, and I'm sure you guys will be interested. I competed in the Speed Sunday Kart Challenge at Thruxton today, and it's going to be televised on ITV either tomorrow or the Sunday after the Japanese Grand Prix. I wouldn't be making such a fuss of it had I not led the race for the first five laps! And before you ask "what happened after five laps, then?", I'll tell you that it was only a 20-lap "celebrity" sprint race, and we were racing in teams of four, so it was five laps each. I was up against the likes of Jason Plato, Kelvin Burt, Tom Chilton and Perry McCarthy (and I suppose I had better mention Vicki Butler-Henderson, too!).
It was an event organised by racingforcharity.com, and it was fantastic. I'm the guy in blue who makes a scintillating start from the second row, diving around BTCC driver Jim Edwards Jnr to take a lead I wouldn't lose during my stint. Hopefully they caught it all on camera! So I hope you lot can find time to watch my five minutes of fame! Unfortunately, I think they'll only be dealing in team names, so you probably won't here "Alex Roache" mentioned; just "Team 130R".
Anyway, here's a taster pic. As you can see, I had a pretty fine view from my gridslot...
(and yes, I do realise that my signature pic is terribly out of date!)

I am slightly puzzled though to why you are looking right, especially when your eyes are on the same level

why thell don't we ever get grid girls 
damn they are some fine gridgirls
You're not wrong. I was just taking a moment to wave at the camera before continuing to admire the view. I was almost disappointed when the actual race started!
As those who watched Speed Sunday may have noticed, the race wasn't on. That means it will be shown on the next programme after Suzuka. I'll remind you all before then, so you can witness my Alonso-esque start for yourselves!
In the picture below, that's Vicki Butler-Henderson to my left. I'm having to rub my eyes in disbelief at the fact that she was actually quicker than me
Thanks for the warm reception, btw! I'm not going to be posting very often, but it's great to see this (very handsomely renovated) forum still going strong, with all the old-timers!

Since I had no idea of whom she was, I did a search. Alex, she's a keeper, go for it
.lol and (second) best of all, she likes cars and racing!

When i saw her in the paddock at Donington i thought she looked rough to be honest, not very good close up and she is incredibly small.
Still give her one though
