I lapped quicker but spun more often. Had some excellent battles with Alex, Bill, Tony and Smiley. Had a decent pit strategy which meant I gained back some time in the latter part of the race to finish p13.
Yes that was an exciting period, unfortunately as you were faster than me I only knew which side of me you were attacking so I tried to give you racing room but it's a bit narrow with only a single line in some places. Consequently I went off on the outside of the track and bounced along the Armco losing places until I was able to get up to speed again. I ended up last on the road by about lap 13/14.
Then Tony had a moment or two allowing me bye but he powered by on the main straight. Brought back memories of a P&G race where I caught up on the windy bits and had to overtake on the last corner exit where I was faster only to be blown away down the main straight. Tony then had a spell all on the black stuff and drew away.
I pitted but lost over a lap with repairs. Exited the pits and got my head down catching up Tony (a lap behind), it looked as though his tyres were on the way out and I got by and he didn't fight back. I noticed Alex's orange Vette catching up and can only assume they held each other up as I drew away to finish 16th behind the pair of them 2 laps down. If only I hadn't damaged the mini it could have been interesting.
