Johno3 Posted June 17, 2010 Report Posted June 17, 2010 Hello All, First of all, thanks to the drivers that raced tonight and to Kev for do a good job with the stewarding as always. Although there were only 15 cars racing, it still produced some entertaining racing. It is a shame that the Scottish tracks have attracted a lower number of cars, but I am sure it has not been helped by the holidays and the superb weather we are having. Anyway, well done to Dave on winning every race tonight. I can confirm that this was Dave's second final win at the track, having won a final last year from yellow. Tongihts points haul will see him shootup the World Qualifying Table.

MoR137 Posted June 18, 2010 Report Posted June 18, 2010 Thanks for the meeting Johno and Kev, and well done to Dave who cleaned up from white. You were were uncatachable - on the 3 races were I managed to get to the front, you were always miles ahead, esspecially in the final where you had the best part of half a lap from me, Johno and Tosh who were running together 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Despite the lower-than-average numbers, I thought it was a really good night; I don't know whether half the reason is because of how exciting it is to drive around this track, but there never seems to be a dull moment. Getting the power on around turns 2 and 3 is extremely rewarding as you fight the car as the bumps throw it around and you try to get as close as possible to the tyres on the exit to avoid over-running into the grass on the home straight. Had a solid first heat, working up through the positions with Dazza close behind, before getting held up and then pushing into 6th. With one lap to go, I got behind Mike who was pulling out of the gravel trap and put in a big hit the next bend for 5th, only to find the leading pack were spinning out on the home straight, to sneak in and take 3rd. The 2nd heat was a bit more straight forward, just managing to get through the pack and chase Dave, who, as I mentioned, was uncatchable. The final was more of the same, settling into 3rd for the majority of the race chasing Johno (who had tapped me into the gravel trap earlier) with Tosh keeping the pressure on to. Johno got unlucky on the prenultimate lap, handing me the 2nd place, with Dave somewhere in the distance lol. The GN didn't go so well; charging down the backstraight with Dazza and Mike, I found myself with nowhere to go with a spun car on the hairpin bend. After recovering, I got up to 8th, which also included a great battle with Mike where we were side by side for a whole lap, before getting split up by another car. Great stuff. See you in a few weeks time!
Tosh924 Posted June 19, 2010 Report Posted June 19, 2010 (edited) agree with you there mor, a few dont like knockhill, but i think it knocks up a bit of a driving challenge, turns 2-3 are excellant if you get the car hooked up just right and clip the inside of the tyre. (last pic just for you mor) i found the track difficult for me as i couldnt get a feel for my wheel here. ive never ran the g25 here, it was the sidewinder when i won the scottish in 08 on s/s. just couldnt get a proper feel for it and it affected my handling and racing linesstill enjoyed it though. inc some randon pics from toshpixels as i thought it was a good meeting.

Johno3 Posted June 19, 2010 Author Report Posted June 19, 2010 Great pics again Tosh. You and Walker have always done well with them Forgot to put at the top that Dave will be yellow grade next week, thanks to scoring well over 30 points this week. Cheers Johno
