Boo Hoo id didnt get to play in topless taz as my chassis broke in qualifying


Still the racing looked good from the bank, very slippy but good cleen racing with an f1 seasons worth of overtaking and only one bump when Pat Got it wrong comming out of Chessons Drift ( should that be Pats Drift?) and spinning leaving poor Cliff with nowhere to go (now you know how i felt at Snet eh clif )

Next Stop Brands on the 7th August. it should be a blast and Topless will be back in action

We missed the luscious pink beauty on the grid G, hope you get her sorted for Brands.

Real shame that I managed to collect Pat, at first I thought he was gonna gather it all up, then the tank slapper took over and I couldn't tell which way he was gonna go. Chose the infield side of the track but quickly ran out of room and bang just clipped his nose.
Same story as Snet I guess, very nearly missed him but not quite Still at least it keeps the crowds entertained.

I thought it was a great race, lots of fair overtaking, plenty of sideways action (I nearly managed the whole hairpin on opposite lock!) and drivers trying loads of different lines desperately trying to find grip on a very slippery circuit. It was good to be mixing it with the more powerful turbos too, I'm just prayin for rain at Brands now.

See you there.

Good news Graham, hoped it wouldn't be too difficult to sort out.

The tyres we used at Lydden were 5 races old, they weren't too bad in the wet but in the dry they are definitely well past their best. Given the body repairs we'e got to do and the engine problems I think I'll be running the rest of the season on our other 'used' set!
