Our bullpen has its own race track

Posted by Simon Baker

More fun and silliness in work. Today I bought Granny Racers from Maplin Electronics and installed it in our bullpen . Qualifying heats start tomorrow. Who’d have thought a granny in a wheelchair was inherently unstable at speed; must be the high centre of gravity and high profile. The wind factor when taking bends at speed makes them prone to flying off the track. They’re also liable to get a wheel stuck at the chicane.
