Upcoming Race Meetings

Morecambe visits Blackpool

Morecambe visited Blackpool this Monday and I was apprehensive as to how my evening was going to pan out, given my result race results and general misery at race meetings.

First run out didn't get off to a great start. After a couple of laps I broke a front c-hub and had to retire to fix it. However, second run the car felt much better... perhaps even half decent... I have to wonder how long that c-hub had been cracked!

Final qualifier car felt ok, but not as good as the round before some reason and consequently I was unable to improve. This left me sat on pole position for the B final.

However, after a promising start to the final where for the first few laps I pulled out a small lead I soon found myself struggling and being rapidly caught by those behind me. All told I think I ended up third or lower and the car had gone back to being nothing short of a pile of crap to be honest.

But, I've decided that I just need to accept whatever speed I can get the car round in for the moment and wherever possible just keep it clean. Just looking forward to the new Xray coming out towards the end of the year now... ;)
