Sunday and a cold start to race day.
Grey clouds looming and they certainly delivered...
First practice as ok and 33.03, exactly as yesterday. I thought it felt faster...
Second practice and it poured and poured. Shelsley wet is not a good place to go quickly, or attempt to, on slicks, so I declined the run.
First race run and it was soaking wet, so crawled up though the grip was far better than I thought, and netted a staggering 45 second run, what a joke.
Second timed run and the track had dried well but the treacherous Esses were under the trees, no sun there!
Went reasonably well despite this and cut a casual 34 second run, 2nd in a class...of 2!
Still, body soul and car in one piece.
Loton next weekend, my favourite hill.
