I've had a very up and down race meeting this weekend. The suspension work I've done since the last meeting has improved the handling and reduced the understeer but did not reflect in faster lap times. This morning though the track was very damp from overnight rain and I fitted my wet tyres ready for the 1st race of the day at 9am. Yes I had to get up at 6am, no sunday morning sleep in for me. Anyway I proved my 3rd place in the wet last year was no fluke rocketing off the line and moving up the grid from my 14th place start to 4th where I finished. During the race a Porsche driver destroyed his car by smashing into the armco and Ferrari driver was up to his usual trick of trying to travel around the circuit the wrong way. As we have progressive grids I started 4th but new in the dry I was never going to hold that position and came home in 12th. So I have decided I'm tired of not having adequate power to be competitive and improvements are going to be made. Our next meeting is back at Sandown in early September so watch this space. Sorry no pics from today but I hope someone took a shot of me 4th on the grid.
