Hi all!
I would like to thank a lot of people, and I will forget some for sure...
But I'll try: Thanks Paul Worsley for all the help before and during the event, Jacky for being so nice and helpfull, John Spencer and the rest from the shop for the generator etc..., Brian for lending me his XXX4, Stuart for his XX4, Dan Greenwood, Charlie & Andy Fraser, Grant Williams, Kevin Lee, Simon Reeves & Jonathan for the help and the interest you guys showed, the people behind the mic trying hard to pronounce my name
, Jimmy & Vicky & Stuart (again) for the distraction during the hard racing day (please spare us a bit in the report...), and everyone else who came to talk to us!
The race was great, I learned a lot, and was very impressed with the level of competition you guys have there. I expected it to be tough, but it was really beyond everything I could imagine. I can't believe how you guys can run so well after 6 minutes of practise (ok some will have had more but still). The euro's are far easier than your nationals...
I loved the track! In Belgium on astro we are used to very smooth surfaces, this one was a little bumpy with all kinds of features in cool places, especially liked the little 'banked' corner in the middle of the track
4wd was a disaster, as I never ran one and dropped out in 2/4 qualifs with some weird technical problems, and ran one with a broken one way diff...
2wd was a lot better, but never expected this kind of spanking... But come over next year to our GP and I will try to take revenge
