Default My race 2 "perfect launch"

you may have read in over the weekend about my crap day racing on saturday well here is my far better race on sunday, unfortunately my camera battery failed so no video from my car but I found this from the car behind.
All I can say is...perfect launch!
who says 4wd is wrong!!!
shame I got a bit boxed in before the chicaine
also the very quick 944 turbo I beat off the line finished 3rd from 19th on the grid!
I finished in my start position of 20th out of 36 not bad for a car with bent suspension,no brakes, worn tyres and tired rusty driver lol

944 Turbo looked to be a bit keen at the start line... wee jump before the green light!!


Cheers,

Beef the problem was I got boxed in on the inside with no where to go Ken got a great line round the outside
it's the luck of the draw one race the inside is quicker on lap 1 the next race the outside is the place to be..
I seem to get it wrong every time tho lol
