Big thanks to Tim Finch and Chris Taylor
me and charlie shaw both sheared front near side drive flanges while racing on saturday at croft circuit.
charlie runs standard ones so that wasn't much of a problem but i run Grp A gravel ones so we had a bit of bother trying to get one together but to cut a long story short and after 3 trips to tims we got sorted out after tims friend chris lent us one off his car.
me and charlie both had to start from the back of the grid but cause charles was late back he just managed to start from the pit lane.
when the lights went at the start i took to the grass and by the end of the first lap i was up to second caught up with first place but due to a boost problem
i couldn't get passed him so ended up backing off incase it was serious so could keep second place. managed fastest lap thou @ 1,27.1
so still leading the championship only one round left at knockhill hopefully my new engine will be in by then.

Nice one from Tim, always helps if he can
Well done with the result, cant wait until the 21st and if the atmosphere is anywhere near what it was like when you battled with the Caterham it will be a great day.

the caterham man had been messing with his engine trying to get more power to beat me, changing c/r ratio ,cams and stuff
but he blew it up on the sat so he went home for his spare caterham
