Johno3 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) Hello All, First of all, thanks to everyone that raced in tonight's meeting. On a very tight Mildnehall track, you did not need many cars to produce some ecxcellent racing. Congratulations to DanSkin on taking the meeting final and being the top points scorer on the night.

southy277 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Posted June 30, 2011 WD Dan - you're on top form but i could of beaten you a few times tonight on the last bend lol. Looking forward to next week - hopefully some more good clean racing.
DanSkin Posted June 30, 2011 Report Posted June 30, 2011 Cracking meeting, crazy finish to the final - didn't know which one of us had won until I had parked up. What an odd track though, made racing and trying not to wipe people out interesting.
big al 515 Posted July 2, 2011 Report Posted July 2, 2011 My pre-meeting statement that I would be happy with a point was realistic as the first time I took to this track was an hour before the meeting. Very challenging but quite good fun. Happy to have scored 2 points although not through any great skill. The shape of the corners means that even though the track is so slippery, you don't tend to get the car into a spin on them on your own, so that's a help (although I did manage it in the W&Y's). The racing seemed pretty good I thought. Respect to Waqar for plugging away at a track that he probably found even more of a nightmare than me - he took some catching in the Whites & Yellows so was going pretty well. Mav was going well too, to say he nearly didn't race.
Mav Posted July 5, 2011 Report Posted July 5, 2011 Even now, I can't decide whether I should be disappointed or content with the nights racing. W&Y went well, as that was the first race to see how the setup I didn't have 40 minutes before, handled. Heats went good after that. Final, I didnt get the jump on Big Al, so we ended up fighting for the same piece of shale and in doing so, the blues were on us quickly. I battled, trying not to take back ends, but on lap 8 Davey was challenging the car infront, which forced him across the track, pushing my front end into the inner tyre, giving me a puncture. After that the car wouldn't turn in, and I tried to hold onto a top ten finish but failed. GN, I was away and comfortable, but just as at Scunthorpe, came out of a bend, no different to any other time and the back end just kept coming around. Eased off and waited for it to come back and tried to pull away slowly, but the car skewed across the track and I collected Big Al Sorry m8. After that I wasn't in the race. So disappointed or content??? Bit of both I think - lol! Well Done Waqar and Big Al, not easy for us on a tight slippy track, but a good performance.
southy277 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Posted July 5, 2011 WD Mav - the trick with places like that is to slow down. I were hardly on the throttle over 50% for most of the racing.
