It was a good day and great conditions, best ever I have seen.

I loved hammering past fats on the straight, although over did it as high revs in 5th on the right hand side of the straight towards then end is not agood idea and ran out of black stuff. THe off tore front left tyre as hit the guard.

Had a great go with Neil and his Radical, trying to keep up with him around the tight stuff, and then catching up on the straight. My timer was turned off at the time which I realised after about few of the best laps I did all day. Then turned it on and did a 1 min 5.4 but felt faster previous laps and Neil said he was doing 1 min 4 's on the day, so good enough considering. Then my timer was paying up which is odd giving crazy times.

Duncan did a nice job driving it and Ron Wizard had a drive also. He kept it fast and smooth after a little off on the horse shoe, getting used to the no brake booster.

      Ha ha ha! I know those feels mate I've finally got the garage cleared enough that next weekend I'll do some actual work on my car (hopefully). Unfortunately garage isn't usable after 10am at the moment That said, I've done a lot of work this weekend on helping finalise a friend's Production Race car. Full started Christmas Eve. We're down to about 8 tasks on the list, including "get a wheel alignment". Sometimes it's just easier working on someone else's car or project than our own stuff 😛

      Ha ha, ended up going it alone.  I just sent it (in a very nervous fashion).  Once I'd released the locks and it didn't automatically start spinning out of control i felt a bit more confident.   It made some loud sounds (cracking and creaking noises) when I first spun it which got the heart rate going again!  I couldn't bring myself to leave it tipped on the side.  I feel a bit more comfortable having back right side up while it sits there. I'd get angry with your last point but you're 100% correct! 😅 Even yesterday I managed to distract myself at numerous times to make a bracket to fit an LED flood light off the back of the house and fix my sons pushbike.  There were other little taks nibbling at my brain for the rest of the day too...

      Probably one of the more nerve wracking experiences of my entire life! 😂😂 The balance (centre of gravity) is out still but in a direction that gives me comfort!   It's quite bottom heavy still meaning it takes a bit of muscle to rotate it.  The plus side of that is that it wants to to go back to upright.  Better that than wanting to go all stranded turtle on me!
