Yes Al, you were right about the missed gear that let you and Evil by and that was only one of my many mistakes in this race. The final one ended my race some 8 laps from the finish, luckily for me a lot of others had done the same thing earlier so I only lost one position in the process.
I must admit that my preparation for this one was not really enough and I was never in the position to follow the furious speed up front although I managed 4Th on the grid, which by the way was pure luck.
So when things got on the way I was quite happy to hold on to my 4Th position. I never even tried to go with the leaders but focused to stay on track and hold Evil and Al behind. But to do that at least you need to keep the car in gear and of cause I did not.
I must admit that missing gears is one thing I rather ofter do when under pressure so I blame Evil and Al
. Things could have been so nice ................. well, back to reality. One mistake followed by another and another and so on and then I was defending my position against Clutch4 but to my luck he also made some mistakes and was gone. At this point I was in 5Th and only had to bring it home to keep that position but, the trees finlay got in my way and that was that.
Grats to Tim for a great win, and Tom for a steady drive to second and also to Evil, Al and Bernie for making it to the finish.
