Could have been such a great race...
Qualied about 4th. Down to about 7th by T1. Back up to 3rd & had the run on Geoffers going into the last turn of L1, just saw a twitch from Geoffers (didn't do anything wrong) & I flinched & I lost the back end... :'(
I was stranded facing the wrong way between the full tilt final two turns & I sat & waited till the coast was clear... I powered my 1310 Mini round, but my front bumper got caught up in the grass bank... In the blink of the eye I'm thinking, 'I can't move forward & if I move back I'm right in the middle of the track'...
BOOM!!! I don't think there was anything poor Pele could have done to avoid me there. So sorry Pele, if I'd had the slightest idea I wasn't getting round I'd have made sure every single car was past, not just till I couldn't see another car
. Pele pitted immediately for repairs
but I decided to keep going to test the car out. Quickly realised it wasn't too bad.
About 8 laps later, I changed my mind as I was spinning under braking & veering badly off when accelerating!
Pitted, full repairs & two laps down later... rejoined behind a herd of cars. Sqtr was one of them & lost it in his big falcon, Ade hit him 1st & then I got caught with his other end as he came across the track.
My mini was mullered again, steering wheel off to the side... kept going for another 4/5 laps & still able to gain on Ade up in about 3rd at this point, when my poor little car just drifted a bit wide going under the bridge & .... R.I.P. little mini. :'(
Hope I do better in the next round!!! (Goodwood in a month)
