Thanks, guys, I lost my Internet 30 minutes before the race, apparently someone cut the cable to the whole building. Clive could have actually won the Championship if he had entered and won the race (because of the 2 worst results drop). I guess luck was on my side.
Yes, grats to Hristo for yet another Championship and thanks to Syd for moderating and running this Historic Division which has been great fun.
As it happens, I had not spotted that opportunity Hristo
. I looked at the scores and decided that you were more than 50 ahead, so the best I could manage would be second. Probably if I had known, the race would have been even shorter for me than the 300 metres I survived and I would have blown the engine on the grid or something equally stupid.
I'm still not sure what happened as I forgot to save replay ( again!!!), other than knowing I tangled with a Fezza ( Syd I think??). Ken bogged right down off pole and from my position in 3rd on the grid I almost ran into the back of him. Fortunately ( or unfortunately ) Mike who would have been in second spot had discoed, so there was a gap to move into. I think that may have put me closer than was prudent to the left hand side of the track and although I tried to keep it straight, I'm not sure if I actually gave Syd ( if it was Syd) enough room.
I could hear cars all around me and there were a couple that I COULD see in my mirrors but the Fez must have been right alongside in the "blind spot" for both of us.
If it was me I apologise and to anyone else who got embroiled in the carnage. I will have a look at the replay when its available and prepare the sackcloth and ashes if appropriate.
