Well I put in some practice this week and was feeling okay in the car but with 89% I knew I was going to have to drive the wheels off it to have any hope.
Practice went well however I didn't put in a clean lap in qualy to replicate my earlier times so started way down at 17th.
R1 Unfortunately on lap two Daveo got a bit sideways as I was alongside going up the hill which bounced me out to the fence and 21st. Not looking good.
With the shorter race I only managed to claw back a few spots to finish 17th holding off a fast closing Wally across the line.
R2: Started 20th and really driving on max this race. Had Doobs behind for the first half of the race who with a bit more straight line was very hard to stay ahead of and the second
half was a great battle with Bradc. With a restrictor of 46 he would completely blow me off on the main straight so I was up the inside round the outside, everywhere through the bends
only for him to blast past again on the home straight. This went on for many laps. I peaked in 12th position bu then on lap 14 my wheel came off the desk . . ..
F$#@. I lost five of the eight
spots I had worked so hard for. Trundle home and again had Wally charging to the finish behind me
Once you worked out the flow, this was a great track tonight.
On the restrictor I would question that having a high one which contributed to a low speed in R1, but then R2 is being set by R1 speed saw me start at the back seems a bit like a double penalty.
I know its swings and roundabout but its a bloody hard fight back!
