ritzoberst Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Suppose I didnt have a bad meeting, still that was my last one for a while in the F1s only race I thought I was gonna score points in was the GN and I ended up being hit so hard by someone 2 laps down it broke my suspension... Someone find Sod and tell him to change those laws! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Having the need to have a sleep after feeling unwell at work, I lost about 30 minutes practice time. It didn't start off well, my 2010 setup not really hitting the mark; so I decided to try my Buxton setup that stood me in good stead for Buxton. With a few tweaks, I felt comfortable, not necessarily quick, but happy enough to give the meeting a real go. First up, the Whites & Yellows. With leading the Championship I wanted to do well but felt it only right to start at the back and earn the points. First bend and the yellows went wide, I hugged the bend and passed most of them, but on the exit I got a bad bounce off Ricky #237, and was forced to the inner shale track. Rather than stay on the shale I tried to pull it back onto the track before the bend but the rear of my car hit the tyre and I crashed out. I thought the car was broke, but when I set off again the car was fine. No option now but to push. Crossing the line in fourth was a great feeling, tinged with a bit of disappointment as the top three were only just ahead on me. Heat one saw the 3 whites crash out altogether on the first lap, I get tangled and go from 4th to 15th! Once again, found myself at the back watching everyone ahead of me. A few crash out, and I'm up to 11th chasing a couple of reds. It was great to keep up with them, then with the lap boards out I saw I was in 8th, Now I was really pleased, at least I had a point on the board. Heat two and my expectation was rising, but a bad bounce off PaulE #394 saw me spin right in front of the oncoming pack and I was then hit by everyone! I was sure that the car was broke but once I set off again it appeared to be ok - Unbelievable! Was racing with Stox #246 for 10th when out of nowhere Big Al #515 appeared in the middle of the track stationary, and I unfortunately hit him and spun out. As it was so near the end of the race and I was well out of the places so I pulled off. Lining up on pole for the final heat, didn't give me any encouragement especially as a few other yellows had won races. Mitch #356 pushed past me on lap one, but I managed to get back past on the next bend as Mitch went wide with the white top. I was leading! A blue was only two car lengths behind, so I didn't think it would last. After 10 laps I was still ahead and no sign of the blue. Now I was starting to panic!! From lap 2 to lap 16 I was circulating at 14.7 seconds consistently dropping to 14.8's for the final three laps, but more importantly no sign of anyone wanting to get past! Huge smile as I made it across the line to win my first heat at a different track to Skegness! Well Chuffed and now pumped for the final. Several yellows had won races so far, so I knew it wouldn't be an easy run in the final. We all got away off the start well and instead of belting each other we all settled into the race. The laps ticked by and we were still not being challenged from behind, until I tangled with Ricky #237. This allowed Liam#90, Tom #1, DanSkin #236 and Dode #151 past but tucked in and kept up with them. Two to go and a crash ahead promoted me to 4th, and crossing the line for the 1 lap to go board out I had TomD right on my bumper. He didn't wait till the last bend, pushing me wide on turn one well enough for DanSkin to get by also. I had the thought of trying a last bend hit on both, but DanSkin was wise enough to not let me tuck in behind to plant the hit. So I went from 4th to 6th on the last lap, but was well pleased to have been in contention and finish in the top ten was a real bonus. Now on a semi-high, I lined up for the Grand National on the front row, only to remember I had to start at the back! Dam!!! Started off well and was engaged in a race right from the start. It was intense and even getting a hard hit to my car I was still in the mix. Final few laps approached and I was now being pestered by H229 and TomD. They both got past, but entering the last lap I was ahead again and desperately trying to think what to do! Entering turn 1, H229 hit my back corner putting me into a spin. H229 continued to push my back end towards the fence, with Tom also throwing his car into us. So H229 was now clear of my rear end and I was 90 degrees to the track with Tom pushing my front end. He continued to push but we were heading towards the inner tyres. Fortunately Big Al #515 then hit us and we were corrected and setting off down the back straight. Tom hit Big Al hoping for him to hit me but luckily missed and I rounded the bend in one piece. Brilliant race ending with another points place - a fantastic feeling. Overall it was a great meeting and a great feeling to have been competitive and to achieve 30 points was just brilliant. The rolling laps were really good and everyone played their part in that. Well Done to Liam #380, who does seem undergraded lol and thanks to the stewards - a meeting I will remember for quite some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
