We started the evening off with a drivers meeting to discuss new plans for 2012, i was extremely happy to hear what tracks were planning to be used as it includes a track that i never managed to drive at!
Then a magical thing happened..... we shed our dirty oil stained 'drifters clothing' and who knew, underneath we all scrubbed up pretty damn well!
Of course as soon as everyone had sat down Team Green managed to cover everyone and everything in silly string, party poppers and various other things in record time!!
Then it was time for the awards!!!
Malx and Minnie were recognised for their continued dedication to drifting, running around the pit lanes, organising the start line and always doing it with a smile on their faces!
Mr Mint himself received a very well deserved award for dedication to drifting, continuously sacrificing his own drifting to ensure not only BDC events but also most UK practice days have speedy tyre changing.
Julie Robinson received an award for just generally being awesome!
Darren Matthews received an award for his continued dedication to the BDC.
Justin Clarke received the award for most improved driver of the year.
Sam Holt received an award for being the most annoying person in the BDC.... sorry, i meant entertaining ;)
Jody Fletcher won Rookie of the year.
and Team Japspeed won the team trophy for the 2011 season.
On to the driver awards for the Semi Pro category.
3rd place was awarded to my fellow Mint Tyres team mate, Belinda Challis.
2nd place was awarded to Marc Huxley.
and 1st place was awarded to BDC newcomer, Matt Campling.
In the Pro category, 3rd place went to Grant Laker.
2nd place went to Ian Phillips (John Glaister received the trophy on his behalf)
The 1st place trophy went to Mike Marshall of M'n'M Engineering.
Now onto the Super Pro category and i start with my Mint Tyres team mate, Wayne Keeber who received the impressively large trophy for 3rd place.
2nd place went to Mark Luney and the SATS Cosworth team.
And a very well deserved 1st place trophy was awarded to Matt Carter of Team Falken.
Mark 'Sweeps' Buckle, BDC organiser then went on to announce some items that were to be auctioned off for the 'Movember' Mens health charity. Unluckily for Japspeed driver, Steve 'Baggsy' Biagioni one of the things auctioned off was his hair and eyebrows!!!!!
Fair play to Baggsy for going through with it and raising approximately £2500 for charity, the overall figure raised through the auctions and donations came to approximately £5000!!!
It has become tradition that the unveiling of Brooksie's end of season movie always happens at the Dinner Dance and therefore we all waited with anticipation for it to start! My god!!!! That guy can make good films!
I will let you see for yourself, here is a link to his channel on Vimeo.....
