I survived it OK and netted a surprising 3rd , I was expecting 5th or 6th
Race 1
Got a good start but then lost out to Maciej on the run down to Cascades , managed to get the place back when he run wide at Island , chased DJ and Kris but couldnt attack , pitted lap 7 but had a slow one , came out on clear track , places came back to me and I found myself in 2nd with a hard charging Kris behind me , he caught me up and I was fighting like mad to keep my speed up and give him no opportunity for an overtake then Maciej joined the party , whilst he and Kris were fighting it took the pressure off me and I held on to claim 2nd , Phew .
Race 2
Got a good start and was fortunate to avoid the chaos after the first corner and found myself in 5th at Cascades , picked my way up to 1st over the next few laps but I clipped Cookie with my rear tyre whilst doing so at island exit and pushed him wide , sorry JC I thought I was clear . Held position until I pitted , made a faster stop this time and again came out on a clear track , got myself up to speed then I noticed Kris was behind , here we go again , did the same and tried to keep clean but he reeled me in and got the gap down to a couple of seconds but then he made a mistake at Druids and let me off the hook . Kept my nose clean and crossed the line in 1st .
Really enjoyed this car track combo and was hoping to do well here as its my local track , I live 15 mins away. As a little aside , if this track was as is when these cars raced all those who crashed on the first lap would be dead , that part of the track was lined with large trees and the outside of Cascades was a lake where some guys unfortunately drowned when they went off .
Well done Teamie Tim a top 5 finish great drive and good points for the Wrinklies
