Well Team Oldie proping up the rear but enjoying it none the less!!
Legzy and I threw a wet set up together in quali !
Good run in the dry to start with keeping pace with 4 cars ahead until a few minor 'moments' dropped me back a couple of seconds!
Lucked out as the rain started just as I was coming out of the Melbourne loop so decided to gamble on going straight into the pits for wets!
That seemed like it was a bad plan 5 laps later when it appeared it was only gonna be light rain and my tyres were getting a bit hot!
Luckily again it then threw it down and I was flying ( for me! )
and cut 3 seconds off my PB rain time and made 11th as others pitted.
Was praying for the rain to continue as I thought I had the pace to keep the place!
Unluckily it then dryed out!
Sort of! I went in and put on slicks when it appeared to be a drying track!
I guess that was a rookie mistake as intermediates would have been a better choice? The mixture of dry and wet corners was really challenging
and I wasn't gonna to pit again with only a short amount of time left!
Really fun and challenging!
Thanks all

P.S Legzy's first outing in the rain! He was paranoid about getting in anyones way and nearly didn't start the race! Encouragement needed!!
