Rob
It was worth going yesterday just to see your ever widening grin – A great reminder about what club motorsport should be about The opening laps of the SEMSEC Saloon and sports was great entertainment and amazingly (mostly) clean, given how frantic the action was. |

Steve yes i did enjoy myself very much, the only down side i am not fit and my shoulders are giving me jip today,and i missed Gemma mixing it.
Yes i think the only damage was Alan Rawlings when he got punted by that metro. What a performance joe put up in her Fiesta.That john Taylor race i think there was 4 of us with half a second. |

Rob regarding the shoulders its probably down to your appalling driving position

Morning all,
thanks again to Gavin, Rob, Gerald and Lee for help, bits and tools on Saturday. Next year we will sacrifice a driveshaft to the Lydden gods before we even enter our last event of the year in order to avoid a repeat of Saturday's disappointment. A real shame as the Saloons race looked great and you really looked like you were enjoying yourself Rob! Looking forward to joining you out there next year, Chris |

Chris i think we are very lucky with the dmn and semsec giving good value for money, motoring events. The only problem being with 3 races i wore out a set of front tyres.

Thanks to All
As the boy says, many thanks to all who helped out, but especially Gavin, who went beyond the call of duty when I (plonker !) removed the pot joint without first removing the rubber gaiter. Seriously Gavin, I hope the burns are healing well.
And Rob's grin when he came in after each race said it all. Well done Rob, great bit of driving. Loss of Mini gears was contagious as I spoke to Tristram as he came in after the second race and that was his problem. But excellent result from the first race,Tristram, which will encourage you over the winter. Roll on next season for us, but who is racing where over the next two week ends ? |

Well my face must have said it all i new when i started racing after 23 years lay off i intended to have fun but untill this weekend i had forgot how much there was to have,It started tuesday when Gemma took me around Brands in her car. Then practise chasing Joe in her fiesta. Best off all was going through chessons in a 4 wheel drift side by side with Alan rawlings and a rather wide metro.What trust Alan and i had in each other, thanks Alan would been nasty if we got it wrong.
The John Taylor handicap i cant belive how close that was at the finish, poor Joe being piped at the post after leading for so long. The minis entered in Dmn for this weekend, Gemma, Bill, Gerald, Ken.Mike Edgal. and reserve Andrew Worseley. The following weekend im out again, in class e, Bill in tin tops, I belive subject to gaining entry Gerald, Nick, and ken. Tea brake over now, so back to work. |

Tris Gavin made Gemma anti roll bar on her car, and it fits on the out side below boot floor rather than in the boot.
