Championship weekend and off to a good start.
At Loton Park, close to Welshpool and my Club's own track and my favorite.
Saturday, so practice. Hot with a light breeze so ideal.
First run was a 'sighting' run on a warm but dusty track so a good steady 58.39 was the result. Everything worked well.
There is an merged class, 2 over 2 litre and 2 under 2 Litre.
Second run needed to be a bit more determined in preparation for tomorrow, so set off hard and hung on.
Had a few slithers and slides, no real drama, but unexpected. hope these new tyres come in soon!
Anyway, a nice 56.76 was the result with a stonking 1.99 start to cover the 64 foot dash, so over 1g of acceleration. Very positive.
pb here is 55.69/ 1.95 in Sept 2017, the last meeting of the year.
So, a bit to do to get 1st in class and a pb which is my aim.
So far, ahead of the others, but one is a pest and can find a chunk of time at a push!
Lovely day hill climbing.
No third runs as there was a heavy crunch in the morning, just reminds you to be careful..
