Race 1
I started from 4th and managed to hold position until DJ drafted past just before masta , i then had Gorka all over me like a rash for the next lap , he got past me aproaching Masta , he then proceded to put pressure on DJ but lost it under braking at Blanchimont and i got the place back , i slowly reeled DJ in over the next couple of laps and drafted by on the approach to Blanchimont , i then started to pull away , pitted on lap 5 for 53secs and carefully drove out but still got a drive thro , i must presume i didnt slow enough on pit entry , did the drive thro on the next lap and that let DJ back past me , chased after him and was concentrating so hard on catching him i never looked in my mirrors , movement caught my eye coming out of stavelot and there was Gorka looming large behind , this gave me a wake up and made me go for a pass on DJ quick to get him between me and Gorka , stayed near DJs gearbox and managed to draft buy him into Masta , then just kept it as neat as i could , finished a distant second behind Rik .
Race 2
Started Ok going into Eue Rouge i could see something kicking off so stayed to the right but got tagged which spun me into Gorka, flew off down the banking and was amazed i had no damage , rejoined but well down so got my head down to lap as fast as i could , worked my way up the field and pitted on lap 6 , came out of pits and was amazed to find i was in 3rd but a long way behind DJ , on my second lap approaching Les Combes i felt a strange bump and on turning for the corner the car ploughed striaght on into the barriers and rolled into the centre of the track i think i must have had a puncture (do we have them?) or i did have damage after the first lap crash and something broke , got it off the track quick as i knew Cookie was coming , fortunately i didnt take him out but i had to retire .
Jerry dont worry that was a racing accident at a well known blackspot , its very hard trying to stay out of the way of a lot of fast starters especially when they come at you from all directions .
Big thanks to Paul and DJ for setting this up , DJ your mods have made that a very nice track
