Steve, it was me, who slowed early. For T1. Everytime ive raced here, theres been wrecks at T1,on the opening lap, with cars braking too late or facing the wrong way. So I was cautious, going in. Im really sorry. I meant to start from the back, but lost track of time. I tried to move off the racing line to let cars behind, pass.
Apart from ruining Steves race at the first turn, it was quite an enjoyable race. I had a couple of spins caused by me accidentally shifting from 4th to 2nd, the 2nd time picking up slight suspension damage and allowing Tony and Huggy to pass, only for them to make mistakes and let me pass again.
I noticed you guys were using 1st gear for the corners. I used 2nd apart from the hairpins, I had no tyre wear at all and could of done 2-3 races on the same tyres. Iwas struggling, with not being able to use the clutch properly, through the turns. I probably could of saved the spins, with the clutch too.
It seemed like we only ran 1/2 the race and I noticed Geoffers, was coming up to lap me. I kept seeing his tabbed name coming out of the hairpins and I was hoping, he would catch me on the straight. Its difficult, to move out the way, through the twisty bits and thats were he caught me. I tried going off the track and brushed up against the wall, hope I didnt frighten you too much
I thought the rest of the pack would be close behind, but he had one massive lead. So, I could relax, for the remaining laps.
Congrats, to Geoffers and all for taking part. Thanks guys.
Roscoe/Steve.
