what a night
not been well for a few days some bug or something but decided i would run the race even feeling so crap thought it might buck me up
practice time I couldn't concentrate for most of it couldn't keep the darn car on the track
then the last 10 mins things came together and I not only could keep it on track but I was keeping a steady pace and lap times where coming down
saw it was nearly qually time so went for a bathroom break so as ready for the race, no sooner did I get into the bathroom I felt horribly sick {not had much to eat for a few days and had only had some dry toast all day
} but sick I was
finally got back to my driving seat with 30 seconds left of qualifying
so that was my qually time
wouldn't have been any further up the grid than i was anyway so no biggy
rolling start lap I was still feeling "queezy" and debating on if to give up and pull out but decided to stick in there to give everybody a rolling chicane later in the race to make things a little more exiting with so few drivers on the track
race start didn't push it thought I would take a couple laps to see how I was feeling, within 2 or 3 corners I found out as I went spinning off like a spinning top
not got a clue what happened must have touched a curb
this put me way off the "pack" so settled down to just running the 34 laps on my own and use it as a learn the car a bit more session and it worked as the race went on I found I was handling the car better each lap ........trying different lines ,{some not very successful
} by the latter stages I was getting quite consistent times so all in all it turned out to be a good session for me learning wise
after race had to dash off feeling sick again
is a real pity the numbers are dropping off like they are i near dropped the series early on but am glad i continued as it's got me to learn the radical a bit to the point I may run some official races in it next season
anyway catch whoever is left for the next race
