INTERNATIONS 2007 VIDEO HAS JUST ARRIVED

It may be a year late, but in the post came the overdue DVD. The camera crew didn't manage to capture the three wins Mike achieved on Saturday, as those scores were dropped to keep the other teams in with a chance of winning. The DVD only shows the final on Saturday, by which time a good drive by Mike in the pre-final ensured an English victory again. The final showed Mike in his TKM 2/ battling to allow the English 4/ pair to break away from the team of Welsh 4/ karts. He held them up for a number of laps before one of them drove straight over him. At an MSA Super 1 round the Welsh driver would have been excluded, but as he has hampered and struggled at the back, no action was taken. In the end Mike restarted with a bent axle and broken seat and crossed the finish to the sound of a standing ovation and congratulations from Martin Capenhurts the team manager. Mike later receive the driver of the meeting accolade.
