The weekend didn't start well as I arrived at Phillip Island and realized I'd left my Racing license and log book behind.Had to get the missus to drive the 100km to bring them.When she arrived I got through scrutineering and only missed 2 laps of qualifying.Did 6 laps and set a personal best lap time of 1min 46.9sec.The rest of the weekend didn't go as well.The first race I suffered bad understeer and nearly had an off.Race 2 better but times not good.Final race the 10 lapper I started
in 10th place and the understeer speared me off again at turn 4.Rejoined at the rear of the field and was catching the back markers when a damn stone jammed under the go pedal(remember that one)ok so I had to shut off the ignition and with my right foot pushing the pedal I managed to kick the stone out with my left foot.Back into it again and managed to pick up the Lotus Exige and MGBV8 on 2nd last lap.Finished in 13th place but plans are in place to improve the handling, just gone the wrong direction by a little bit.
