Thanks slambo, i did a fair bit of prac this week looking for a good result, but was expecting you to rock up and give me that heart sink feeling !
Qual was good for me last night, i managed to equal my PB of 37:5, which gave me pole and also a front row start with the other D1 guys rows 2 and 3, thankfully away from the mid field jostling. With Slambo in 3rd i was expecting an action packed run into the bus stop on lap one, but i managed to get away well and slotted in behind Samsung.
Slambo had a look at the bus stop, but thankfully thought better of it, so the rest of the lap was getting the tires up to temp for the long first run. After about 4 laps i had managed to get the gap out to about 2 secs, and then saw the spectre, slambo and CAGME were all having different little battles which helped me extend the gap out to about 5 secs. When CAGME was in third he was faster in the first half of the lap, but i could stretch it by .2 in the second half so i just concentrated on my marks.
I pitted on lap 28, at that stage CAGME was behind by 33 secs and i managed to come out still 15 secs in front, and had a clear run to the finish. Happy to pick up my first championship, after being so close so many times. Just a shame that we didnt have everyone available to mix it up right through the field.
Overall thanks for the battles over the season, had some good ones with Pykee, jim and ADZA at different rounds, CAGME was also right in the mix when he wasnt spinning or DSC !! things could have been different if AOC didnt get a jump start at Monza !
Congrats to Slambo for taking 2nd and it looks close between adza and Jim for
4th..
(CAGM came 3rd)
Also wanted to give a shout out to
@t_b_williams , who stuck it out after a season that hasnt been his best. Respect mate, you stuck around when many others walked.
On to season 4, where there is a good chance there will be a few of us up in D1 to keep a full grid..Looking forward to a season of Racing rather than tuning.
Cheers stu
