19/20 August - All Action Anglesey!
I had a mixed "first and last" weekend at Anglesey.
Firstly, a big thanks to all the officials for getting the meeting to happen despite the weathers best(worst?) efforts. As if starting from the back (as I had never competed in the LMA championship before) was not enough, the midfield misunderstood the start procedure and were still warming their tyres up on the Top Straight when the race started! I developed a misfire for a further lap but then; it was all go and, for the remaining 10 minutes I had a great wet race tearing through the field with lots of fun (and fair) dices along the way. Oh, and it will all be on Motors TV and Channel 5 in a couple of weeks. Sunday, was more than a little hectic on the first lap and I managed to get "past the point of no return" coming out of Radar only to hurtle back on to the circuit and get collected by an unfortunate Dan Davies. I agree with all comments posted about what a friendly and fun circuit Anglesey is and I shall be back as soon as you open up again, no doubt. Right, I'm off to find some new body panels... |

Which number are you because I probably spoke to you at some point over the weekend; I was the one in Assembly Area who was waving the cars out to the grid or onto their rolling start.

No. 88. Black Audi. Quote:
My mistake, then, it was Richard Hill not Dan Davies. Anyway I spoke to him and it appears the two fires were connected. Saturday's was due to one of the (plastic) injector pipes failing and spraying fuel on the exhaust. He managed to "borrow" some more pipes off another Golf which had to go home early due to problems; but it appears that the rocker cover gasket had melted in Saturday's fire and the resultant oil leak found its way onto the exhaust lagging and - bingo! He assures me he will be at Brands! |
