Great race last night guys, Short of the crash between Poppin and Ghost on lap 1 .....was soooo lucky to miss that, but was spewing for you both as would have added another 2 cars at the front of the pack.
Other than that, qual was a shocker for me.... Had been in the low 4s all week, then decided to try pitting for soft rears in a practice run Sunday morning and pumped out a 3:7.... For some reason, probably talent related, i struggled to even get into the 4s when it mattered, lining up 10th a little deflated.....
Oh well, hopefully have a good race ! Well it was pretty sedate TBH, with only TB pushing me early on after the lap 1 crash, but i was up to 5th i think...... I managed to slowly gap
@t_b_williams (sorry for the hit down the straight mate- i was looking left not right) before
@Hoppy (benny11169) Caught me pretty quick. I decided not to to fight him, so let him go and sat in his draft for a few laps till i pitted at end lap 10..... I went with Softs on the rear, and had a heap of clear track so could just go about setting times in the low 5s or high 4, and could see the guys up ahead were about 2 seconds slower per lap....
With about 4 laps to go, the guys in the top 5 all started to pit, and i had made good ground, so some were about 8 or 9 seconds behind me. With 2 laps to go Autech and Kartdude i think pitted as well, and i managed a wave as i drove past as they were still exiting pit lane..... with about 6 seconds back to 4th, i made sure i got around with no mistakes to pick up a head scratching podium, with most of the guys asking 'how the
did that happen' !!
Well done to
@Waffles and
@Slambobagan for the top 2 spots...... On to Laguna, where strategy may take a showing again, the third weather slot is Heavy cloud again, but a different grip level might throw up some different strategies.....
