Stats wise I probabely had my worst nights racing ever on Tuesday night at Silverstone with my TM2:

Practice - Succeeded in doing possibly 4 laps in total - couldn't steer, glitching etc - thanks Simon East for soldering an extra length in my ESC speedo signal lead - My fault using an extension connector.
Heat 1 - 6 laps running really happy then no power - Alec happened to be marshalling at that spot - him and me couldn't see anything wrong - later discovered the motor wire connections had worked free - My fault hadn't had time to solder
Heat 2 - broke ballstud on first jump - My fault - when building, I hadn't put the retaining screw in the rear hub pivot - so that that had worked free and jammed up the wheel.
Heat 3 - 7 laps in... a front tyre came completely off the rim and rolled down the track - yep, my fault - I hadn't glued it.
Final - Started last on the grid - within a couple of laps I was in 2nd chasing down a 4wd until I started glitching again so to avoid damage I pulled it off.

Car wise and potential - I HAD THE BEST NIGHT SO FAR -
This car is brilliant - so stable it would be rude not to drive it fast

Just gonna spend some time preparing the car better - electrics, threadlock, glueing,etc.

Disappointed we're not at West Bridgeford this weekend, but roll on Tuesday at the 'tone.
