Dont know if this is the right section,

But thought I'd say a quick sorry for a bit of a poor result today for anyone who was rooting for me. A few technical gremlins crept into my previously 100% reliable (in competition) car this weekend, which finally managed to put pay to a top8 finish.

Ho hum - sh1t happens I guess

It'll be fixed tomorrow and ready for whatever else we throw at it !!!! A few little extra bits might get done too.

Cheers for any support and a big thankyou to Stuart for the help today and putting up with me being a pensive moody bugger for a large part of the day when things were going wrong !!!

No need to apologise J - just gutted for you as you had qualified so well only for it to be spoilt by a wide open throttle and some gravel rash.

We were thinking that we were a curse on you and Mike.

There I was sitting in the stands, bragging about Steve Carter and our Bladdey and you both bin it in the kitty litter :oops:

Glad to hear that yours was a technical problem, though and not driver error

Aye,

Im a lot more reflective about it today.

Its just I spent most of Friday driving round issues of one sort or another, and then Saturday everything seemed to be going so well - nice and smooth, pretty consistant and then the sighting lap in the twin totally relaxed me - in fact the banter with the drivers on the start line did that as I was pretty tense before going out. I guess a throttle that "does its own thing" is a bit of a lattery ticket. It was a right git to get on the trailer afterwards too, kept wheelspinning and spitting the boards out the back !!!

I cant wait to burn whatever piece of wire or connector it is thats responsible !!!

Unlucky Jay......I know this will be little consolation but this is how it went from up in the stands at Luffield :-D .......when you did the first run side by side the crowd were doing their nuts, it was great being up there, and when you 'parked up' for a couple of mins and were helped out everyone stood up and clapped. I got goosebumps seeing that as it was one of 'our' lads getting the ovation

Well done anyway big man 8)
