Love this track - hope it can be saved and will have a future (STR = Save The Ring).
Had an ideal lap within the limits of my capability during quali and could register a new PB.
Hoped for another improvement to below 9:00 during race but could not maintain that level
of concentration and the Ring does not forgive any fault.
So after a bad start I saw Tony fly away into the green in Hatzenbach
and could not avoid
to crash into Hristo - together with Dario - who lay crossways at Adenauer Forst.
Then I had a mostly lonely race after I lost contact to Dario due to a turner. After Phspok, Pelle
and Dario left the race I found myself on third place
During last lap I had my usual loss of steering and pedal control but with an advantage of seven
minutes to Tony that was no big deal at all
.
Very glad to have finished here on my hometrack.
Grats to Navin for the win and Geoffers and Tony for finishing.
Hey Bill - I can remember that you were able to finish the race with the Cobras here some months ago - so I
was really optimistic for you for this one too.
One question to the BMW drivers: just before start I realized that there are three options concerning wheels
(Dunlop, Goodyear and Historic) for the 2002, but there was no time left for examination so I stayed with the Dunlops.
Do you have any experiences concerning the other wheel options?
Thanks Tony for organizing this one - see you on track.
