Marto303 Posted August 1, 2014 Author Posted August 1, 2014 Martin will be in his element Good luck guys and look forward to seeing the results Cheers Christian I'm bringing the electric car back to MIRA. Last time, in the wet, my extra weight (850Kg) stopped the car from aquaplaning so my times were good. This time out I've removed the windscreen and some other stuff saving about 35Kgs in total - still way too heavy! Leave the rain at home Martin - see you there. The " Rain Man " strikes again Well if it is as bad as forecast I still have to try and improve on my PB from the May wash out, should be fun whatever Quote
alexander72 Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 looks dry at the moment - good luck all drivers :-) Quote
Marto303 Posted August 2, 2014 Author Posted August 2, 2014 OMG what crazy day, we've had torrential rain and brilliant hot sunshine, a dryish track for first practise to tip toeing around in standing water for P2. We should have had a P3 but a marshall got injured when a MK1 Lotus Cortina came off on the final corner and hit him before ending up in the tyre wall, then a long stoppage while the air ambulance attended the marshall who thankfully was not seriously hurt, a broken elbow we were told. T1 was on a wet but drying track and finally T2 was just dry before the rain came again as everyone loaded up for home. A few offs for some of the Westfield drivers but no serious damage thankfully, I'll leave Tel to fill you all in with his blog. The day started well for me with a 55.32 P1( my previous pb was 63.58 in the wet ) P2 62.05, T1 60.22 and finished with an unbelievable 53.03 for T2, so I'm a very happy bunny knocking over ten seconds off my pb the silver bullet is flying Sorry about the weather today guy's, it just follows me 6 Quote
Scottish Bloke Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 Concerning that a marshal was injured Quote
Marto303 Posted August 2, 2014 Author Posted August 2, 2014 Concerning that a marshal was injured Yes, that marshals post being between the track and barrier will be a point of discussion no doubt ! Quote

alexander72 Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 good result marto - shame about the marshall :-( Quote
Marto303 Posted August 5, 2014 Author Posted August 5, 2014 Have we lost Tigger again ? still waiting for Saturdays results Quote
Terry Everall Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Tigger has no results yet as we have not received email copy from organisers at Mira and Hethel. Thats why I can't finish my blogs cos I need to refer to the times so Tigger, for once, is not at fault and he now has Filfan ( Phil Nicholls) as his assistant Quote
