I am extremely gratified to report that Team mate #55 Billy Bell won both the A-main championship race last night and clinched the season title in overall points which means we keep the trophy for another year. UH-RAH. Excuse me...I came in 2 seconds behind him in third spot and finished 5th in the A-heat which bumped me up in overall points to place 9th in the season out of 36 cars.

that's right, you'll notice number two was a young lady called Kimberlee. She's actually an experienced midget sprint driver so I don't feel so bad. At all. Really. Another lap I would have had her, dammit I ran out of track. The real drama was a massive battle with Mike Webb in #18. I was in 10th overall and him 10 points behind me in 11th place. To get a top ten season finish he knew it wasn't enough to beat me, he had to take me out of the race and did his level best to pit-manoeuver me. It was like taking lefts and rights but I don't spin easy these days. I have learned much about being sideways. The rule is, in a front wheel drive, countersteer just right and floor it,or keep the pedal down if you're already floored. she snaps out. (driver skills notwithstanding)The reason I have the E 4ws disabled is I need to do this manually. Mike made me angry, and focus, flow and rage brought out my A game. Controlled fury, that's the ticket. Trying to chop down on me and push me into the dirt on a corner, he succeeds in putting two of my wheels in but he bounces off my fender and disappears into the gloom. HA! Ya mess with the 'lude.... Anyway two laps later theres a red caution and it's him, pasted to the wall and being towed off. Too bad he took #77 with him, he's a devil on the track too but a good guy. Still, righteous, the racing Gods favour me this time.
Some of the damage sustained last night.
#18 got the worst of it.
I was bitten by bumper biting beasties
I had taken to ramming the opposition
That @#**!! Mike Webb. (off the track we're all still buddies, on the track, it's understood)
That was absolutely the best time I've had yet racing, the main was brutal, everybody got some and more than a few veterans didn't make it. In the words of XXX, "I LIVE FOR THIS S**T!" What to do all winter? Fixing my poor battered prelude would be a good start... These two 4th gen ludes have done really well for us. It would be so nice to have a clean upholstered one for the street. I'd look after it, honest.
During the race you're using it up and don't feel anything but flow and focus. We have a lot of contact in Hornet class and our cars are a little on the rough side. We try to keep 55 nice though, I'm body man and she's the flagship and kind of my baby even though Bill's the pilot. My ride is mad max matte and road warrior battle damaged. I like it that way, it's grrr. Basically, I'm a pit crew guy who jumped at the chance when we built a new 55 car a couple of years ago. I have the old ride now and am still learning alot after 3 seasons. I started with a 91 civic si until she got rolled and wrecked last year when an integra went out of control and took me to the wall so it's my first season in a lude.
I hope u could turn up in top 5 in not in top 3
