Vectra in Gravel Trap at Druids

Pete LMC · 15 Jun 2009, 14:27 (Ref:2483799)

New to this Forum, but can anyone point me in the right direction to a Picture or Pictures, of my " Claim to Fame " ( or Infamous Claim ) of when I put my Vaux' Vectra in the Gravel Trap Up to It's Axles, at Druids on Saturday the 23rd May 2009.

You may have better luck asking in the photography forum...

I think this is the thread you are looking for;

Glad you have taken it in good spirits, you're not the first and certainly not the last.

You're lucky you didn't do this on Aintree's 'hallowed turf' - they'd have made you into a eunuch.

Thanks for taking me straight to what I was looking for, yes it was all taken in " Good Spirit " by everyone concerned, the only fright that I got was when I was asked to
" Phone Race Control and Give Them my Name, ( I thought Bl***y H*ll ) I am going to to get a Bill for This, but that was not the case.

The only Downside to my Experience was after I had cleared the bulk of pebbles from around the front wheels and initialy tried the brakes and steering out which were OK, a couple of days later I was getting some very strange noises from the Front End, after some exhaustive inspection, it still persisted so much so that I had to Split the Offside Brake Caliper and Move the Disc from side to side only to find the smallest fragment of stone catching the disc, I have seen bigger diamonds in ladies rings it was that small.

Still the Lads were Great with me they even left me a " Souvenier of a Bag of Pebbles on my Boot Lid ".

Pete.

You are Certainly Right, If I had done that on the " Hallowed Turf " I would certainly have received a Bill for the Repair, at about £40-00 a Running Foot, and the Owners
(Jockey Club ? ) would most probably have barred me from the Circuit, in addition to that I am sure that my L M C Committee would not have been too happy with me.
