Flatchat where were you? We rocked up to Winton circuit on Saturday morning and the weather was looking good.5-RF's and one DRB, about 20 or so Cobras and 1 daytona cobra.I hadn't driven at Winton since the wet day i first drove the 40 on a track 18 months ago.The car felt quick and after 2 laps i caught the tail enders.6 cars on the track at a time against the clock.I managed to start first each time and got a couple of quick laps in before catching the tail enders.At the end of the day Chris Liokis had retired with gearbox stuck in third and I had fastest time of the day by more than 2 secs from the DRB 40.Trophy number 1 thank you.
Sunday another fine day off to Heathcote dragstrip.Took time to learn how to stage the car and drop the clutch before green etc.What a ball I had this is going to help my race starts immensely.I did quite a few runs and really wanted to beat the 12.56 sec time I set at Geelong.Well I was outside it until Steve in the DRB and I lined up together for a few grudge runs.I won the first but he beat me in the last 2 with a 12.22 and 11.95 bugger.Anyway I did a 12.34 and equalled the fastest cobras time.Trophy number 2 for 2nd but I won the big trophy for 1st place in all classes woo hoo.There is a very big smile on my face still.I'll post a pic of the trophies soon.
