Had a good race, albeit a very tough one. This track is very challenging and tiring!
Had a slow start to qually but then picked up the pace as I got my eye in. Banged in a 2:10.6 but that was still only good enough for 8th!
Race was good from the very start although I got mugged off the line by a couple of cars. I was just thinking how nice and clean everybody was over the first few laps when Moggett sadly quit after obvious contact, sad to see for his first race here.
I pretty much chased animal Ed blinking hard for 90% of the race!! Very good fun and challenge.
It was excellent until we caught up with the two hooligans in the blue capris who seemed to be very fast but also all over the place!
Not sure what was happening up ahead but there seemed to suddenly be a fair bit if contact and it all looked chaotic with spinning cars etc. (if anyone feels aggrieved at any contact, submit it in the incidents thread and maybe Matt, myself or whoever can look into it)
it affected my rhythm and I lost some time but gained places from others having spins or running wide, running anything between 5th and 8th for several laps. Lost some time when John bumped me off allowing geoffers and Ed to recatch and eventually pass.
Chased Ed to the finish line! For a top 8 finish.
Big congrats to Clive, legzy and Hotkeys for the podium on a tough track
