here is how the day went
heat 1 went off and as this was the first time i was to be on this new lay out i treated it as if i was on a away day,,, first heat get your lines and find the bumps, so i done a 6 laps in 5mins 19 sec which i thought is not too bad as it was the first time on the new layout
heat 2 weather seemed to be drying up and the grip was coming on nicely was able to get a nice 7 laps in 5mins 48 sec which again i seemed to really getting to grips with the track
heat 3 the rain started so i thought better take it easy to see how this set up would be in the damp condition all seems good nd was able to do a 6 laps in 5mins 7 sec which was good
heat 4 the rain was on again so now the track had changed to the point where it was full wet race so thought well im hoping this set up works well managed to get 6 laps in 5mins 19sec
so heat 2 and 3 was to count and put me into the A Final in 3rd place which i was well happy with, i knew this would be hard at the top and so it was
A final got away good but got hit first and second corner which put me well down the order so by the end of the first lap i was in 8th place not too good, but i put my head down and chilled out and thought there was a long way to go yet after 12 laps and a pit stop i was out in 6th place as i was going for a three stopper as i was not sure my run times, after my last stop i was i 5th place and it stayed like that till the end of the race, i got close to 4Th at one point but i was pushing it and the track bit me back and i lost some time once again
so finished up 5Th place with 23 laps in 20Min's 12 sec
