Frustrating nights racing, got caught up in a couple of incidents, got tagged and spun at last turn... Oh well.

I enjoyed last night, some good battles along the way. Coming away with a couple of 3rd places.

Didn't expect the get 3rd in Race 2, with the drinking problem the Aston has it required a full tank (90L) at the start, and a 28s pitstop to take 85L to make it to the end. But I was lucky enough to have a good buffer back to 4th.


Congrats to Matt and Riven for their win, to fast!

Had no pace last night, Normally im with in half a second of Matt and Riven but was about 1 to 1.5 seconds off the pace.

Spun on the last lap of race 1, droped me from 4th to 7th. Through when i hit the last lap I wasn't going to catch Rifty but in doing so lost my consentration.

Race 2 started by hitting the back of a car on the front row who had a half spin, then just battled my way to 4th, pitted and it didnt add fuel so had to make an extra stop. Ended up having a great battle with Growler and Zimmie. Was Formula Ford stuff. Great fun
