Sorry for all the no shows just been weeks of at least 1 person in the family being unwell. Thought we were finally coming out of the other side them my eldest who had been well all along is off school sick today. That flu is no joke I struggled with fatigue for a good 2 or 3 weeks after.

Sounds bad... you've been missed! It's bad timing, because we've had some great racing in these cars.

Sorry for bailing.
My shin's been playing up again so I took some muscle relaxants, bad idea.
I fell asleep down the back straight, went off track and nearly took out doobs.
It was only going to get worse and i didn't want to cause any shunts.

Lucky you don't get virtual injuries.

Well done Brad. Seeing as I missed most of the season I thought I'd skip last night and start fresh!

That was funny from my seat. I thought you were on a secret saving tyres run because you were a bit slow (that's rich coming from me), and then towards the end of the straight you just drifted off the road like you'd fallen asleep, so it was no surprise to see you call it for the night.

It was Diazepam and it kicked in hard. :o
I was falling asleep in practice but I thought (hoped) that racing would keep me focused.
Not so, 1.5 laps in and I nodded off, so I was only ever going to ruin someone else's race. :-[

At least I didn't make my leg worse, it's actually better, so that's a plus. ;)

Good to hear your on the mend Bacchulum, it’s a shame we didn’t see bigger grids in these cars racing expirence was bloody good, you could race quickly and closely to one another and they were not that easy to pass in.

Of all the tracks this season, this was the one I liked the least. All those long and closing radius corners…..it felt like a  Tike track, just without multiple chicanes. I found both of the reverse grid races quite tricky last night because I was quicker in the parts where you couldn’t pass and so for the greater part of the 2nd race it was a case of tailgate and hope and by the time the opportunity arose the leaders were too far down the road to catch.

The 3rd race was more of the same and despite catching up to AGK I was unable to put a pass on him. I did try at the final corner of the final lap, but couldn’t do it. I really needed another lap but there wasn’t one so kudos to him for a great drive.

Thanks for all your efforts Wally in finding these tracks (all of which I’d never driven before) which must have taken quite some time, your efforts were greatly appreciated.

The thanks have to go Seanus - he provided the cars and found nearly all of the South American tracks.
