blinking heck what a tough race that was
I dont think ive ever fought so hard and so continuously in an endurance race before, 80mins of breakneck sprint pace
Qualied a good 6th with a new PB in the 41's (was 5th until last few seconds !)
Race was mental close battle for first 45 minutes in a tough fight with extremely quick guys like Lazlow, Busi, Napo, Roadrunner and TT for 4th-9th positions with all of us changing positions throughout. Unfortunately for me they each finally got past and with only a lap or two to go before my pitstop i did the fateful double downshift and span it :'(
Second half of the race after my stop was like another new race against different people who were nowhere near us in the first half
I found myself embroiled in another tough battle with Picnic,Spanner, Prof and weirdly TT again ?
Two stupid annoying spins saw me finish the race in a crappy 11th place, a real disapointment after my early pace, but i just couldnt match my pace in the second half and was struggling on worn tyres towards the end.
Demon drives upfront from Gazza, Purds and H@L
On a bit of a sour ending there was some extremely bad cutting going on tonight, with some cars repeatedly getting all 4 wheels off the track, and i dont think some of the guys up ahead would have finished where they did with cut-warnings in place...why wern't they? But it also has to be said that rising sun didnt help at T1 in the late stages
