end, when a silly mistake (driving too slow -- how frustrating!!) put
me into the hill at the hairpin and I couldn't get out again.
I was in 4th (last) at the time, but I really want to finish one of
these damn things!!!
I gave someone a fright at the hairpin a few laps before that. I cut
across the track recovering from a spin that had me facing the wronog
way at the same time that the other person appeared. Sorry about
that, and I hope I didn't cause any more damage than few missed
heartbeats.
Very odd behaviour at the start of the race and for the first couple
of laps: there was tremendous warping from somewhere. I think it was
the 2nd lap, coming back around to the hairpin and I passed a bunch
of cars on the run down to the lefthander, and they were all blinking
in and out. I suspected it was me (since *all* the others I could see
were blinking), but my meters were displaying a rock solid
connection. There was just a hint of a red bar in the Lag column, and
the other two were clear. I'm on DSL and I usually don't have
problems.
If it *was* me, then I must apologize on behalf of my ISP.
Mid-race I suffered my usual bout of brain fade and had three or four
spins and off-track excusions. Apparently no damage was suffered, so
it is obvious that the gods favour the helpless (hopeless?).
Thanks muchly Eldred. I hope dragging yourself out of bed to start
the server wasn't too much of a struggle.
Happy New Year everyone!
