Three awesome races. ;D
Race 1 chased Glen all the way but just couldn't find a way past.
Race 2    "        Tim        "            "          "          "            "
Race 3    "       Dave       "            "          "         "            "

I never got on top of the track, as shown by my shedding of ballast through out the night, but damn, it was still fun! ;D ;D ;D

Mixed night for me, put in some good times when there wasn't any pressure and then drove very irratic.

There should be a "Bunny Prize" for getting fooled ufollowing Glen too close, haha I has a good laugh at myself just after having a vector collision on the armco!  Very cool Glen.  8)

I need to be first off the grid and into turn one and two with clear air I think to do better, Wally could you organise that for me?  ;D

I have some points, need to go and practice for next week,

Sure, come 4th and the reverse top 4 will see you right.

Oh r3 wally i had no car control at all, there are bumps on the side there that shot me straight back onto track sideways. replay does not show it clearly but i was not in control of car   ( enough reason to penalise me  ;D)

Yeah, to be honest, I wasn't sure whether you had control of the car or not. It was hard to tell from the replay, but you seemed to travel a long way after the original spin. Do you want me to reverse that penalty? I'll take your call on it.

I had a mixed night. I qualified the best I have so far and race 1 was great fun. I made a few small mistakes but knuckled down and got back on track.

It was all downhill in races 2 and 3. I seemed to struggle in traffic here more than usual but had a reasonable race 2. Race 3 was a shocker and made too many mistakes which meant I was working my way backwards through the field until I was clipped by an out of control car and got stuck in the sand. I doubt there was any intent and it looked pretty out of control from what I could see so just a racing incident. I don't think a penalty was really necessary here.

Last week was a very different story but I'll leave it there.
