In offline praccy I had discovered that I could do equal times in the Mini and the Cortina but I was two secs faster in the Mustang. That, I found suprising as I felt I had less control over the V8 beasty but decided to take it for the race nonetheless.
I managed to achieve 3rd in qually and after a good start, passed Syd to claim second. But next lap Syd caught me napping and flew by me and disapeared into the distance, keen I imagine to catch the mecurial Goldtop who was already out of sight.
This left me with a healthy lead over next man Mark and I started to dream of third place on the podium and a good nights work well done. It was not to be. I noticed that the gap between Mark and I was shortening and that he had Jules for company. And it wasn't long before Mark's mini was clattering off my Mustangs bodywork as we battled for position with Jules holding a watching brief. After I made a bad mistake at Lodge and went off this released Mark and Jules and I was unable to keep up with them.
Great fun guys and we re-visit this circuit at the end of the season
