[Benf562]

Hard night for me never really found the

pace but happy with the points I managed

to pick up .

 

Wd winner's and top point's scorer

Thanks Admin .

[Thomask844]

Actually really liked the track, just unlucky in heat 3 & 6 as was leading every lap accept the last. WD winners Thanks admins.

[CB167]

Thanks for the meeting, actually quite good considering the track.

 

It's good to be back!

[Mav]

Although only being able to practice from 6pm when our internet connection was re-established, I held no ambitions as to how the meeting would go.

I was just glad to be back racing and it was shale at least

 

W&Y : Had a lucky break and was able to consolidate 2nd place - Good start to the evening.

HEAT 1 : Had another lucky break and led from lap 2, with Stinjeman behind. He didn't catch me and was comfortable leading. 2 lap board was shown, then it all went wrong - Ricky was across the track and didn't move.

I tried to go underneath but clipped his bumper which as luck would have it bounced me into a tyre! By the time I got going again I was last all bar Ricky - So thanks for that Ricky!

HEAT 2 : No luck in this one as my back end was taken very early on causing cars to scatter everywhere - apologies to those I affected. So still NUL points.

HEAT 3 : A good race only losing out places in the last few laps but with ThomasK spinning on last lap I took a happy 4th and hoped it got me into the final.

A FINAL : Great race - Luck was on my side at the start and I led the way. Something happened behind as there was only Simpson behind me. I hate leading races, would rather follow someone so I succumbed with 3 to go and Simpson was through.

I stayed with him and decided I would have a go as I have never won an A Final before so lined my car up on the last bend. Once I realised I had put all four wheels on the infield I decided to back out of the hit. I braked hard and thankfully missed Simmo (I am sure I would have been docked for corner cutting and Simmo would have been annoyed if I ended his race like that had I connected) but ended up spinning myself! I awaited the other cars to hit me and drop me down the places but non did (other than those pushing me the right way), only two cars passed me before I got going again and finished 4th - super happy with that!

GN : Again got a break and led until about 3 to go when Wardieee passed me, but this time settled for 2nd - Again well happy with my drive.

 

So had I won heat 1 and settled for 2nd in the final I could have been top scorer on the night, but no matter I enjoyed the racing despite leading three races and winning none! yet I was happy with my performance

 

See you in two weeks at Kings Lynn (Unless I can get the tarcar to go round Nutts Corner )

Well Done Simmo for the final win and Wardieee for top scoring

GN : Again got a break and led until about 3 to go when Wardieee passed me, but this time settled for 2nd - Again well happy with my drive

 

You should be happy with it Mav, drove superbly. Kept wardiee on his toes even after he passed you and I certainly wasn't catching you anytime soon in 3rd.

 

Decent meeting, always enjoy Sheffield though. Happy with points picked up considering missed first heat and didn't score in the final (cheers Ben )

 

We Simmo and wardieeee

Cheers for meeting admins

[Wardieee]

Well it was certainly an interesting night... After spending 4 hours at Fairhurst HQ both me and Lloydy left at 8pm, no practice for him and around 5 laps for me (of which I spun out twice)...

 

I'm certainly not much of a shale driver in the ones, so I wasn't really expecting anything however after being eaten alive at the start of the final I managed to stick it on the inside line early doors and just kept her lit. Once I got through the traffic I struggled like hell to get a good lap together, I went from doing the odd .3 in the traffic to .5s on my own

Mav and Simpson were certainly hard to catch, I had nothing for ether of them to be honest so they can both be proud of that. I'm pretty sure they both actually pulled away lol.

 

GN I managed to start on the outside and win, which is something most people this is impossible Again I struggled to find pace without being able to rub on cars mid bend with my setup being so loose. After stringing 5 good laps together I managed to put some pressure on Mav and make the pass, however for the first time in many years I started mirror racing knowing I didn't quite have the brakes right to get me into the kerb and boom Mav was back on me!

 

I was amazed at the turnout last night, I only raced because Sheffield is usually a quiet meeting!

Long may these numbers continue...

 

I was also very impressed with some of the novice drivers who really did put some of the UKDirt regulars to shame last night. So a huge congratulations to those novice drivers...

 

Big thanks to Dan, Stumps and Co!

Your welcome for the hit to put you facing the right way after your car moved down the track to wipe me out of 5th down to 9th.

 

Thanks to Dan and Stumpy for the meeting, was decent for Sheffield, even better if the final hadnt gone wrong last corner.

I gathered someone may have come a cropper as I turned my car, thought it would have been Ben though!!

Really Sorry LeeK, never wish to take people out of places
