3rd AGAIN!!!! FFord at Silverstone...

Well, what fun! :-) After a dismal qualifying session when I ran wide onto the bumpy grass (thanks to GPL for not letting me spin around) I ended up 4th on the grid :-( For the race I got a great start, was momentarily in 3rd until I made my steady way around the first turn. I stayed 4th for a few laps then re-took 3rd! Then I don't know what happend. My car went away from me and the balence in the esses was horrific! I dropped to 5th! 5th! Ugh... So I really took the 'bull by the horns' and chased the top 4 (we were all rather close) when the guy in 2nd spun at Turn 2. We lucky all managed to get by without contact (it was close, closer than PJ Jones(?) on lap 2 at Milwaukee :o) So I was in 4th again. I was closing up again to 3rd and I was really looking to get a pass on him, but the yellows were out. The guys ahead didn't really slow down, I did and that pis*ed me off little, but I didn't complain. Not to matter, after messing around in a comfortable 4th, with GPL-style opposite lock and really hamming it up for the cameras (yep, there was a camera man there!! :) the guy in 3rd lost it on the last lap. Thankyou very much, I'll take that; my 3rd consecutive finish... in 3rd :) Oh what a lovely game we all enjoy! Next round is a week after the British GP. Rob Oh, I don't know!

No, not quite. I'm racing in the Jim Russell Goldline Bearings FFord championship. It's a lot less cheaper than the national "Slick 50" FFord championship. I still have to work my ass off to get the money for each race, tho :-) Rob Oh, I don't know! Does anyone actually read these sig's anyway!? "You will respect my awforataaaay!"

Hi Rob, Congrats on the most recent 3rd place finish. I was wondering if UK has what we across the pond call regional club racing. I race an 84 Van Diemen over here. I'll be in Europe next summer and would like to do a one off race and some of the famous tracks (Brands Hatch, Donnington in UK). Do you know if that's possible and if so what I require other than $. Thanks in advance and good luck at the next round of the Championship. Cheers, Al
