Bags of Courage

 Bradley Harrold claims the spoils at the Kia sponsored 'Park'n'Ride' Festival in Majorca

The great thing about park-off events is that everyone uses the same car and the whole thing is done in-front of a crowd. There can be no talk of modifications, or flankers being brought in after the fact. "I once had someone accuse me of using a crane!" said Bradley who took first place in the adjusted reverse at the 2010 'Kia Park'n'Ride'. Bradley lead the line for British drivers with Darren Caulwell, having a torrid time, complaining of a migraine and forced into fifth in the Men's Single Reverse when he lost points for clipping.

Bradley is pictured in his trademark sock-less sneakers with his winnings: several Kia branded garments and a few delicious goody bags from a local supermarket.

Talking about the relative merits of the Adjusted over the Single Reverse, Bradley was quite the diplomat. "They are both crowd pleaser's, the Adjusted makes for better pictures, you have a full ten minutes to move in and out, you can even switch things up, try a completely different line if you need to, in the single though it's all about that one fluid movement. While its not my drug of choice I can see that there is a certain simplistic natural beauty to it, that and it's so much faster, you can see ten guys pull in in under an hour and then you still have the rest of the day."

Speaking of the rest of the day it was a mixed one for the Brits  with the French Drivers, Juliene La Roche, and Tierry Absalonne  driving well above their usual standard and taking first and second respectively in the Perpendicular and Single Reverse and La Roche adding a silver to his roster in the Adjusted Reverse.
