Massive thanks to Drumbstick for sorting out the UKSOM server to use for GN2 to replace our (still) dead servers.

 

As usual thanks to all who raced, and well done to Sije for some domination of the meeting and Green for taking the Tarmac Masters.

[Johno3]

Sorry guys for my disappearance in the grand national. The server went down and the phone rang. I have just finished dealing with the ssues now at this hour.

 

Cheers

WD winners and Green for taking the title.

I set myself the high aim of finishing a race was i managed. Tarmac Masters was a chaos especially after i spun on the first bend. Then found myself going from the back to 6th and then got caught by a flying car.

Thought i could have won heat 6, tapped Harmen wide twice with no success then managed to squeeze past I got fired to the fence hard by him. Had a smile on my face when i got back going and saw that Harmen was in the fence on the next bend (thanks to the driver who put him in!).

[Hoggy]

No problem Hoggy, no harm done. You didnt get me into the post but would have done if i had not backed off. Just happened to be near where go is called.

glad you enjoyed the sight southy it was owed from the tarmac masters for turning me into the tryes lol

 

wd green on title you was flying round

Thanks to FT, Dan and the stewards for the meeting.

 

I really enjoyed the racing last night. You have to focus all of the time and if you push too hard or have a lapse in concentration then you are totally punished for it. I do think every other track in the league is far too forgiving where as here, you really cant get away with it.

 

I enjoyed the tarmac masters race. I yoyoed up and down the results. I wasn't too far behind Green when I tried to squeeze into a tight gap and ended up on the tyres. I think I was in second place at that point with the car really starting to come good. I then damaged the car and took my time to get used to it. I didnt realise I had lost so much time on the infield as when I saw Green in front of me later in the race, I was desperate for him to be held up a little which might give me a chance. As it turns out, I must have been a lap down, so it is a good job I didnt catch up with him as I would have battled with him thinking I was in with a chance of the title. I must say, I think Green drove a very good race. You have to keep your head in a race like that with everything going on and he did that on top of his usual good tarmac pace. So well done Green.

 

I picked up some decent heat results and had some good races, particualrly with Martin. Nothing over the top and the accidental clip of the fence post when a driver was in front of me, but that is part and parcel of racing on a wire and post fence track. It tests your ability to read a race but you also need a bit of luck too.

 

And it is that bit of luck that DanSkin didnt get in the final. I had found my way into third and could feel the car was turning really nicely at just after the halfway point. I am not sure I would have caught either Sije or Corny but I think I would have maintained 3rd place. However, I had a momentary lapse of consentration and bang, I hit a post, costing Dan some big place in the process. I am very sorry Dan! You can punch me at Kings Lynn on Saturday..... if you can find me!

 

I must say I have enjoyed the tarmac racing recently (and I haven't been winning lots or picking up big points) and I am happier with the new wheel so I am going to try a couple of shale meetings before the end of the season. I actually wanted to try Kings Lynn, but I just couldnt get the time to race that night.

 

One thing I would say though is that I am finding practice very frustrating. I don't get the point in some of the things people do in practice. If you are facing the wrong way around in practice then why sit on the racing line? I get why you would in a race, but you are wasting your time in practice. The followins are creeping back in from some people again but perhaps the most irritating thing is the people who just drive around slowly on the racing line. I actually thought that Sije was one of the worst drivers I had ever seen based on practice, and as you can see that isnt the case at all by his results. If you want to be a prat and wipe everyone out or slow down on your lines, then why don't you do it in your own server, rather than the one people want to practice in. Then again, perhaps I am old and the only time I practice is in the server before a meeting, so perhaps I aint happy at being fenced and meeting tools at every turn.

 

Anyway, hopefully cya all next week.

 

Cheers
