Thanks Tony. Phew, turned out to be quit an exciting race. Nice qualy effort by Eifelblitz and two RSR’s on the front row. Being in P2 I had an advantage into T1 and managed to edge out Eifel. He stayed on my case for many laps until he made a mistake? and left P2 for Goldtop. I had a good lead until I shifted down to fast into T1 and it came round on me. No problem, kept it running and started chasing GT and after a couple of laps stuffed it up the inside in the breaking zone. But in my eagerness to keep doing PB’s it was only a matter of time for a next mistake, this time powering out of one of the corners with too much right foot. In the latter stage GT seemed to slow down enough to have a battle in the final laps. To bad I spun again and stalled the engine. Seems I need to tweak my setup some more for heavy right foots. Bring on the next one!

Nice race last night. Qualied behind the RSRs but lost a place to Matt on the drag to T1 putting me in 4th. After a couple of laps I managed to get the inside line out of the final turn to pass Matt for 3rd and set about chasing Kurt and Postal. Eventually they both made mistakes and I was able to take the lead only to lose it again with a Kamikaze pass by Mr Postal which almost had me off Not sure if you realised you'd hit me, but it certainly rattled my cage for a few corners. Anyway, no harm done. I drove as fast as I could for the next few laps trying to keep the pressure on, until a mistake at T1 let me through. I was able to build a small gap, but towards the end I had to ease off slightly as my front left was very worn and I couldn't afford a mistake. Looks like the Alfa for me at Mosport which will be tough, but leaves me with the RSR for Fuji

Sorry if I did bump you GT, I'll have a look at the replay then. mmm, somehow i feel you have not to worry to much about your championship standings riding the Alfa one more time.

Enjoyable nights racing. New PBs all round, made a brilliant start - got clutch/throttle just right and shot off line, think I pasted or nearly past Tony and Roger who then out dragged me into T1 were they both ran wide allowing my through. After that we had dice for 3 or 4 laps with me able to get the power down early and accelerate up the inside on most of the turns. Once they both got by I was able to keep Tony in sight until about 12 laps when I overcooked it and ran wide; next lap I turned in too late and went off backwards. Settled down and ran through to the end finishing in my customary last on the road. Thanks Tony nice Series - as usual.

My race was disappointing. Thought I had a good setup for the Boss but soon found out that my tweaking had been in vain as I was too slow. Had good early battles with Bill and Roger but for most of the race I was on my one unable to catch up with the guys in front. A couple of errors led to heavy hits into concrete walls but managed to finish. Hoping for better things at Mosport.

Err just spotted that the Shelby Boss 302 Mustang has been allocated to the wrong class I'll ask to get this fixed straight away. Seems no-one noticed for all season

You still can Bill. The class designation only effects the recorded lap records.
