This reminds me of why I now go racing. While I still (after 20 odd years of doing this) have that competitive spirit, I realized a long time ago that I would never be as good as I would have liked to have been. But that does not matter to me. This, for me anyway, is not all about the racing, it is being with friends, having a laugh, enduring the constant mickey taking and generally having fun, something that has been sadly lacking in the touring car class I have been racing recently. I am humbled by the stream of messages this week offering support, transport to races and general good will as well as the amazing help given by your members on Sunday.
I am still hugely embarrassed by what happened, not something that has ever happened before, and still feel really guilty for causing so much hassle but you have gone a long way to restoring my faith in what club racing is all about. It is not just the racing, it is about the people.
Thanks guys.
