Preston 8th, steep learning curve. We don’t know anything. It was a good job that Tricky, Stu Mahon & Colin were there, or we’d have been bummed.

My car ran OK all day, still running rich though. Not too sure about tuning settings but they were set as the engine instruction say. Damian’s car however was set god-knows-how, Tricky spent a fair bit of time setting it up, with good results. He also helped with fuelling us up and general telling is what was what.

I qualified B2, Damian (after engine trouble that was sorted through the day) was C2. Damian won the C, bumped up to B7. We had a quick very light shower before the B, bad for me, the rubber I was on was shite in the damp. Damian (running Crime Fighters) seemed to love it, breezing past me to take the B final win, bumping up to the A.

A 10 minute ‘C’, followed by a 15 minute ‘B’ and then a 20 minute ‘A’ was maybe too a little much for a for a man of his senior years, but he managed fourth , we think – not sure.

The chap who runs the club is ace – in a mustachio sort of way – “If it’s not on the track, it should be in Iraq” – why was he always saying that??

I’m off to bed now – I’m badgered.
