Did a very silly thing at York Raceway this weekend

Got to the start line, waited for the lights to go green, buried my foot on the throttle, lifted the clutch, only to find i had some how slipped into reverse :wtf:

Needless to say even with the engine running and my helmet on i still heard the laughter from the crowd :sad:

So like the title says what a turd i am LOL :lol:

At least there was noone behind you to damage! This was one of my greatest worries at the start of a hillclimb or sprint with the next car lined up behind me - if the light ever took more than a few seconds to go green once I was lined up on the starting beam I'd have to go through my whole 'routine' of going back to neutral and 'replacing' it in first just to convince myself it would be right when I gave it the full beans!

Grip was definately lacking It was too cold and they only put glue down till dinner even the 4wd boys were complaining there times were down
Best I managed was a 13.4 at 113

I joined cs 10 years ago now - back then I used to watch 1/4 miles and fast road meet vids of yours, nick reads (reeds?) and 2lives all the time. I only thought about it the other day after Adam posted his back catalogue of old pictures. I lost mot of mine on my old, old computer. Remember watching that red little clio and the bloke over the tannoy "cliorossa"
