I'd like to dedicate this win to Ronnie, who gained pole, and looked set to take the win.
By lap 5, I was already rehearsing my 69x winners speech, when I was rudely awoken by the smell of smoke, and noticed a slower car across my path, at an inconvenient spot. A gaggle inhaled the fumes, but failed to slow.
This was not the first unplanned abberation to my evening. I've come to realise that 1960's office chairs become mechanically unsound, if used too often. This means I've recently been racing with an unexpected degree of inclination, not to the track, but to the ceiling. And at Mosport, I arrived suddenly 10cm closer to the floor! This helps ones centre of gravity, but it also becomes harder to see over the steering wheel. Might be time to modernize?
Meanwhile, back at the track, I'd managed to haul in much of the inconsiderate gap, after my avoiding spin, to frontrunners in their outmoded transportation. And that's when a careless pit Armco carelessly caught my attention, as it caught my RF wheel. So the win was lost, but the car was intact, and continued at a pace that was no disgrace, to provide a fun race. Curses - 4th place!
The replay suggests there may be more than warp involved in contact with a battling Dave C. Sorry Dave, it was hard to figure your intentions. Glad there was no serious harm done. However, I suggest this was reason to prevent ones promotion, to Ukgpl's racing Royalty. Why have I gone purple in the race result?
