Krazy Races were in town in Shrewsbury, that was until lightning closed the show down.
The day started well in Shrewsbury with an Italian car show and the Krazy Races, with go karts racing down the Quarry Park. There were some crashes but at time of leaving no injuries.

00:00Headway! What is Headway?
00:18So Headway is the charity that are supporting this great event, Crazy Races. We are the
00:24Head Cases and so we have designed our go kart in the shape of our friend Matthew Woodward
00:31who sadly passed away last year in a motorbike accident and so we are raising money for all
00:37things head injury with this great charity. What a fantastic cause and time wise I didn't
00:44catch you coming down, someone told me you were quite fast. We set the record of 24 seconds
00:50and we were just pipped at 26 seconds. We'll be in the final 10 and hopefully we'll come
00:56away with a win. Nice one, cheers lads well done.
01:20Old Twisty Fire Station how are you doing? Very well thank you. How was your first run? Very good,
01:36a little slow, wanted to get a bit faster but got down safe. And what was the thinking,
01:40was there a bit of tactic with them? It's the widest one I've ever seen on a crazy. We saw
01:45the size as a target, go big go home sort of thing, that was the approach. Cool nice
01:50one thank you buddy. No worries.
03:50Paramedics, have you ever had to rescue a man from a six foot helicopter before?
04:50I knew it wasn't on top mate. Nice one darling thank you.
05:20Peter how you doing sir? Fine thank you. A Shropshire lad,
05:49Oswestry man. Something a bit different here, we've got some lovely Ferraris but this caught
05:54my eye, what have we got here then Peter? A Lancia Beetle Monte Carlo from 1980. You said
06:02there's only about 80 on the road? About 80 or 90 on the road in this country. It's a good owner's
06:08club and we've had it for just over 10 years. Where did you pick it up from, local area? No,
06:14it was down south, down in Surrey. Yeah. But a few years ago we took it to Italy,
06:18we've driven it to Italy and back. Wow, so it's a good reliable car then? It is now,
06:22yeah. Yeah it is now. Of course they were well known for rusting away Italian cars. So that's
06:29the one thing to kind of keep on top of yeah? It is, yeah. It's lovely and would this have
06:35been a common colour? It was one of the standard colours in those days, this is a little bit darker
06:40than the original gold colour. Yeah. Because it has been re-sprayed a few years ago. Yeah. It's
06:47quite nice though isn't it really, it's something a bit different, yeah. Good. Right well thank you
06:52for bringing it along today Peter. You're welcome.
07:10That's Peter's birthday, he could have gone. Yes, he's got to have a gift then.
