It was a very hot dusty day at Tapnell Farm near Freshwater, amazing views, cows everywhere and some very battered cars racing round a track!! Jessie James, Glyn Taylor, Chloe Aust, Michael Coombes and others from the station gathered for a day of racing!   After watching the pros (CRASH Banger and Stox Car Racing Club) race round and seeing A LOT of cars coming back looking a lot worse than when they started (think wheels coming off…see pictures!!) the Isle of Wight Radio gang finally got out there to have a go themselves.   The first race was a Le Mans start with each person running to the car, jumping in and racing off.. We were all shocked when Jessie James (the only person without a driving licence) managed to come second in his automatic!! The next race was a the Wheel Bender where you race the opposite way round the track (Hmm!) and the final race was a standard race. BUT one of the cars broke down on the start line and after one lap, one of them (Jessie) didn’t see that everyone else had stopped for a restart and caused carnage! He’s ended up in the fence.   All in all a fantastic fun afternoon, although a little battered and bruised will look forward to the next time!
