Great race and i dont even like Anderstorp
Had good qually battle, setting numerous PB's only to keep moving down the grid and qualied 9th behind Pops, who managed to pip me each time i went faster
Race started strong with Greg and Pops just in front of me and Flybri right behind. Gradually dropped Fly as i stayed glued to Pops rear bumper for about 15 minutes until he made a slight error and got two wheels on the grass verge. I then steamed after Greg reeling him in after about another 10 mins of hard racing, whilst Pops fought off Flybri.
Once past Greg, i pulled out a 6 second lead and saw Mo's car off the banked curve, finding myself in 4th place with a 7 second lead over Mo and only about 6-7 mins remaining.
But then got caught up with some backmarkers and most pulled nicely out the way, so thanks for that chaps, but two guys had dramas of their own in front of me and i had to back off or take avoiding action in a couple of instances allowing Mo to close up to a 2-sec gap and my already worn tyres to give up the ghost :'(
On the next lap around, i braked into the last corner as i had done all race but the car just sledged into the gravel trap
.
As i rejoined ponderously, Mo, Greg and Pops did a formation split as they all screamed past relegating me from 4th to 7th place :'(
I tried to recatch them but my tyres were gone and all i could do was drive defensively as a fast approaching Emmo Plate caught me on the last lap. We had a photo finish as he almost got me on the line.
Great clean racing from start to finish, really enjoyed it.
Just wish i had got the points my pace deserved
