hey guys..
first off I have to thank Tim for all the help he gave me for this race. I didn't get much practice in (this will have repercussions latter on in this report :-[ )
at the start of the race I seen a whole lot of action going on toward the outside of the track, so I went on the inside - paid off, I was in third - I went around and around in circles for some 40 laps and seen I was in second place - cool, time to pit. (here comes the not much practice part) as I got to pit entry I hit my brakes to slow down for pit speed - the car yanked left into the tire wall (I heard steve matchett and david hobbs go - OHHHHHH NOOOOOOOO! :o) i'm like WTF and next I know I am bounce right threw the grass and up on the track nosed into the outside wall hearing a lola at full song coming right at me. BOOM! sorry paul swire, I didn't know it was you at the time - had to look at replay. but, you did knock me out of harms way and back into pit lane. 187 seconds of damage for me and 5 laps down I finished 8th.. felt bad about messing up paul's race and a poor finish for me until I read Dave's report. I agree with tim, you deserved better dave.
anywho, tim got our team it's first podium finish, good on ya tim.. now, onto longford!
