With my dislike of NIR added to my dislike of tarmac, tonight's meetings wasn't going to be great for me!

 

Practice was difficult to get a rhythm going, so trying different things didn't bear fruit.

My 2012 setup just didn't seem to go well at all, but a few tweaks and I was comfortable.

 

I nearly contemplated a new rule for myself, that if Ricky James was ever faster than me in any practice sessions, then I would book out - Just couldn't live with the embarrassment, even with not racing last season and Ricky did!

 

So lining up for my first race I wasn't confident at all, but once racing I was holding my own following a battle between Lloydy #8, Kane #238 & Wardie #180.

I didn't want to get involved so hung back all the time, but finally passed Lloydy to get a credible 8th place - Nice surprise start to the evening!

After that I have Mav Jnr to thank for my demise, for the next three races it was he who caused my exit in all three races! Damn that boy!!!

 

The consolation was a torrid affair, Ricky seeming driving head on into Jnr, causing me to hit Ricky's stranded car, slowing me significantly to allow Spike #221 to catch up and take the 4th and final qualifying spot from me on the last lap.

Somehow I was relieved because I think I would have been a hazard in the final and not enjoyed it if things went wrong, which they could easily do on the evidence of the evening so far.

The GN was no better for me, showing how bad I was as the top three in the race were all blues. And so ended an expected disappointing evening but happy to have scored 3 points.

 

Well Done to HHunter #52, a dominant display in the final by all accounts, and an upgrading to yellow. I still think he will win a final from yellow before the month is out.

 

Onto Stoke (I don't think so!) and Belle Vue next week

I enjoyed reading that review Mav and sounds like your race meeting was as unlucky as mine lol, I was well on the pace all night and in the w&y race both myself and Toff were well ahead of the pack only for a back marker that was stuck across the track to end both our hopes for victory, Ummmm the rest of the meeting I got spun out by the same driver 3 times when in great positions but not to worry as it's racing :-)

Thanks Mav!

 

It was a good final for me and the car was really quick but I had a few shaky moments were I thought I had lost it!

 

Looking forward to starting with the yellow grader's next time out and see where I go from there!
