). I hope to see the real result soon (the specification that is).
dy aching. Some interesting facts about the racing....
After 1/2 hour the gap between the top 3 teams was less than 2 seconds! with postions be as thus 4,2,3,1,8,5,6,7
After 1 hour team 3 took lead and opened up a lead of 32 seconds on team 2 in 2nd...positions were...3,2,8,1,4,5,6,7
After 1 and 1/2 hours things changed with team 2 taking over lead and just ahead of team 3 by 8 seconds...positions were....2,3,1,8,4,5,6,7
At 2 hours team 2 were still there ahead of 3 but now by 23 seconds! positions were...2,3,8,1,4,5,6,7...and only 3 laps or approx 90 secs seperated the top 3 teams!....
At 2 and 1/2 hours some blisteringly fast laps by Andrew Sutton for team 3, including the nights fastest lap of 26.85 seconds (only a mere second outside the track lap record!)
..put team 3 back in front and the gap was 1 lap (approx 28ish seconds).. positions going into the last 1/2 hour were...3,2,8,1,5,4,6,7
The last half hour saw team 3 lead go up and down as team 2 battled to take the lead, and im told at one stage the gap was a mere 10 seconds!...Final pitstops were taken by both teams and the last bit of the race commenced....with team 3 eventually beoming victorious by just 24 seconds...PHEW!!!!...all after 3 hours non stop racing. Final positions were...3,2,1,8,5,4,6,7.
A couple of facts...the final half hours racing saw lap times go down and speed go up!...average speed was 43 mph opposed to 38/39 mph earlier...Andrew Suttons lap time of 26.85 was almost a second quicker than anyone else..
...(and i thought my lap time of 27.58 was quick)....Team 2 fastest lap was a 27.70, team 1 was 27.81, team 8 was 27.62, team 5 was 28.09, team 4 was 27.72, team 6 was 28.29..(the ladies team i must add! 
)...and team 7 27.90

Satman - that's very very interesting - why not cross post it on Insomniacs.com?
Jigs - if you're not interested, don't bother reading it, but thanks for putting a negative slant on what was a fantastic evening where plenty of people had a great time and raised money for chairty.
In future, keep your acerbic comments to yourself.
