Guest IB Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Thanks guys had a wee celebration tonight with my family and Jamie (my son) went to Cowdenbeath stockcars.Velocity 1001.382 Coldstream 54 mls :) Well done to you both. Interesting info on your velocity too, my club was won on 947.224, from the same racepoint, going 15" before you. All the more credit to you given the conditions on the day. The birds certainly didn't need to pack their sun-specs for this race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milecrosslofts Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Interested to know why you thought you'd never see him again. Glad he proved you wrong and hope he goes on to be a special bird for you. Good luck. lol well as form a yb he always has been slow and he never has made it home on the day even tho he is as fit as any other bird in the loft. so every race i think well this is his last lol, but to see him get back on the day and still full of life was a grate feeling maybe he on the up lol.
