Market Sprints (Photos)

Posted by Perki on Saturday 9 June 2012 | 1 Comment

Last night we held the first ever Preston Market Car Park Sprint races. I never expect anyone to turn up to events (especially not on a rainy Thursday in Preston), i don’t know why, but there’s always that little thing niggling away in the back of my mind.

Luckily, when we arrived at the Market Car Park, there was a properly decent amount of people there and a good number of people actually racing!

We decided to do away with sponsors just in case of a duff turnout, so we went for a £2 buy in with the winner of the event taking the whole pot, which last night stood at £32.

Since the influx of people using Instagram, last night’s event was pretty much 100% captured via Instagram… so click through for a load more photo’s from the event.

There is some more photo’s of this event that should be surfacing sometime in the next week, along with a mini-video maybe so keep checking back for this.

Massive thanks to Matt (mrkicks1), Phil (crazy_scientist), Laura (laurxwatso), Dave (davmaw), Tim (tmpsickof) and Dom (domhenryting) for the instagramming.

I would like to thank everyone who did come down to watch and to race… you’re all awesome and make things like this worthwhile organising.
