Races are 18 and 36 laps.
28 mins & 56 mins races?
I thought we were aiming for 3 x 20 or 20 + 40?

Apologies for the nudge in R1, Able...misjudged your braking there...was thinking be careful and brake a bit earlier...hmm...slow thinking...bad execution...dunno.
Start in R1 was average...maybe because of the additional weight on board.
Good start in R2. I was able to pull away and build up a decent gap...yeah, my glorious pit stop spinning the car when entering f'd this one up.
Struggled to find my rhythm after that...some pressure and close racing with Wally then.
Congrats to Brad...pristine racing!

Wow, that was such a hard track tonight, quali was a heap of fun being so close but race 1 kind of didn’t go to plan as I made a mistake in the esses and Wally was able to pass me then drive off into the distance with Dietmar. Whilst the charts suggest it looked like the gaps were rather even, none of use made mistakes making the latter half of the race a rather intense fast procession.  Well done guys!

Race 2 appeared to be more of the same early on as killer was a few seconds up the road and he was cutting some really quick, consistent laps and I had nothing left to fight with. As we headed towards the pit stops on lap 13 I decided to do the opposite of what ever killer did and as he kept going, I decided to take a stop and noticed that my refuel amount was wrong and I trundled down the lane a little slower than I should have but managed to get it sorted in time. So you can imaging how shocked I was when after the stops I was almost 8 seconds away in the lead. For the rest of the race I just tried to be as consistent as I could and managed to lap in the low to mid 1m31’s, but with 3 laps to go the fuel light came on. With my dash estimating that I would be close to running out of fuel on the last lap, I decided to back off try to fuel save. Fortunately I managed to cross the line with close to 0.5ltrs left.

Yes, it was interesting after the pitstop. I think when Brad and I came out after our stops, Bacchulum and Archer were between us. I tried to get out in front of those two guys, tried to stay as far right as possible to stay off the racing line, but they had to much speed.
Then Killa was in the mix too, with some good close racing for a few laps before he pulled away.
