Get a grip James, you were in charge of Delta IT! Liam Rowlay and YT are now at favourite Ouistreham MaccyD. McFlurry for him and Frappe for me, but goodness knows how he can eat after the amount consumed at lunchtime. Suppose a few calories burned off when trailer tyre threw a tread which then tore mudguard virtually off and bent bracket onto tyre! And within spitting distance of Caen......
Had a fantastic time at Pau and delighted that Iain and James went so well. Tupper's brush with authority in race 2 a shame but detail will have to wait until home and less tired. Best result is all cars returning home with bodywork intact and still healthy! |

Sure was great weekend the little lotus going well it's taken me three years to sort out all the mechanics but I can now start to sort out handling and save up for some new tyres that's it now till portinao but till then I will have her apart just to make sure engine , gear box , ect . First race it was nearly all over as on first lap going up the hill throttle James open I did a couple of corners on the ignition switch but lost my seventh place . I was a bit carefull after that but seemed ok must of been a stone anyway chased after the Frenchman who got by me and did get back on his tale but the traffic was not very kind so had to settle for eighth. Second race and I dropped to eighth at the start then cought and passed him on lap two stayed there untill Finnish with him breathing down my neck . Could not of managed the weekend without mike I even let him drive the delta truck for a few hours as a thank you. Good too meet up with all the tent hers but so missed one person who was taken from us last week

Technophobia strikes
Can anyone tell me why the picture i just posted turned up on it's side???!
Is it anything to do with Iain's spelling and grammar? To try to make up for that operator error, you should find a nice one of Iain the right way up here, the first one, blue and yellow car 64: http://www.grandprixdepauhistorique....trophee-junior |

There are lots of stories that would like to tell about the trip, but finding time will be difficult during next few days with other racing happening!
However, this is important. As he mentioned earlier in this thread, Christian Deveraux was due to race in the French Mini races at Pau, before being so tragically taken from us the weekend before. In tribute the Minis at the event carried Christian's #67 on the roof and his name on the side, and a one minute silence was observed during the podium ceremony for the first race. |
