    What a Turd I am!!!!!

    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

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

    So like the title says what a turd i am 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!
