Hi all I'm back (stop that groaning at the back) it appears our forum does not like Firefox any more or at least not on my puter, went to IE and it all works. That is after reregistering in a different name which was OK but would still not let log on.
Anyway the Aldershot meeting was run on a very tight timetable because of the time they are aloud to use the track. The racing started at 10am with a round of 10min practise heats this took up 1hr I think a lot of people including me felt this could have been 5min practise rather than 10mins. Then the qualis started with 5min race with 2min in between each heat, this ment that buy the time the previous heat had finished there final laps you where lucky if you had 1min 30sec warm up before your race started, it did make for a very rushed day racing one heat marshalling the next then pitting for one of the others did not leave a lot of time to sort out your car. Still the sun shone I meet some old buddies and had a good weekend away with her in doors (had to take her cus I didnt want to kiss her goodbye) Joking Joking

Thanks Paul & Tim,
That was a hectic weekend - Due to time restrictions and noise restrictions we only had 3 rounds of qualifying instead of 4, with not enough time to warm tyres or engines up and we had to be finished early. So the weekend was more stressful and less enjoyable than normal. We didn't even have time for a cuppa in between the qualifying rounds - Roll on Halifax!

CMCC driver of the day has to go to Ash for setting pole in the B on his first national round, car and driver looked good all day (once he sorted his rear diff out) My final was a short affair - 2 and a half laps - a small nudge on the side of my car on lap 3 managed to dislodge the 2 speed e-clip and leave the car with no drive and sat in the middle of the track. Tim, Pete and Tobie tried to find all the parts to get me back up and running, but time ticked past and I was out of the race.

Just a side note to Pete - you had the pace on Saturday, it was just that lady-luck didn't shine on you on Sunday. I'm sure you'll be back in the A for Halifax!
