Was a fairly good weekend.
Could actually say I had an off day at the track, things didnt feel right.

cross entered in TT and MX5 so got my monies worth.

qualified 20th out of 27 for TT and race 1 came 13th - jumped up a few spots!
qualified 3rd in MX5 outright which was awesome!

got to the start of MX5 race 1 and I had clutch engaged, in 1st and car started creeping forward. weird.
by end of race was all good and came 4th.

Race 2 TT clutch felt worse. lights went off and I took off good, could not engage 2nd and lost a bucket load of spots. got a couple back later and that race stayed 3rd and 4th throughout. last 2 laps I tried grabbibg 2nd and worked.

decided to call it quits.

then Andy's Dad Russ called me as i was bout to get some lunch. he thinks its the slave cylinder.
he had a spare and said would take 10-15mins to change over.
I 'ummed' and 'ahhed' where all the other MX5ers started to yell at me for not doing it, my wife even called me to see how I was going and told her situation, she said get the ƒü¢k back out there. yes boss!

so, changed slave cylinder and made race 2 MX5. was having great battle with Craig and Andy and Steve. I was on Daniels arse and attempted a couple moved during first 2 laps. then andy was biting at my heels. andy got passed a few times and straight away i took that position back!

then he got passed and I battled with Craig where we were both side by side at the kink onto back straight, wasnt looking good and I ended up into the dirt.
left lock, right lock, left lock at 100kms. Steve was behind me and saw it all happen, I slid back onto track, a 360 into the other infield.
mud everywhere.

TT was up next, had a etter srartm got some positions and ended up battl;ing Craig again. my arch nemisis. ended up 3rd in class A TT in trophy race.

MX5 trophy race, had a great start, after turn 2 I had Daniel on the left, Andy in front, Craig on the right. all three neck and neck, I take inside behind daniel and Andy and I neck and neck through the top, next minute BANG, I took a hit from Bill in the rear right quarter and flew off the track at turn 5. DNF.
