Bridgehampton E21

He had time to make the pole position, but was disrupted in three laps, people who were slow and could not pass. I dropped in 2th and lost the position at the start, and was watching them and waiting for a mistake, but I missed a braking and I was walking in the sand, back in 9th trying to make a difference but the car had broken down with the beat and the maximum was a fifth place. I knocked on the back of a pilot who does not remember who, wanted to apologize. After the crash I stopped and waited for him, I hope you understand fair play, was the least I could do.

Very frustrating.

Had a close to PB qually for 6th, very pleased. Got away from the start cleanly even though there was some severe waggling from some, into the first turn no problems and gained a place. Looking good.

Second turn, disco. ARRRGGHH!

next time.

Bark woof for SCDC!

Quallied OK and got a good start into the crowd. Passed a few sitting on the side of the road and one in particular upon catching up to me proceeded to run right into me and off me into the sand.
Needless to say that bit of half assed driving left me catching up.
It must be the track or the air here, had the same thing happen in the E90s.
Wham, bam and not even a kiss....

Jumped in to qually late, guessed at a quick setup and off I went ending up 8th. I got a great start gaining a few positions while others where sliding around. Avoided contact for the first lap and the fun went up from there!
I was very surprised to be running in 3rd a few laps in managing to stay within a second of 1st and 2nd for the time it lasted. Of course I wasn't happy trying to be consistent in 3rd, I just had to go for the top and yep, off in to the sand hills I went nailing the wall backwards. Relegated back to 7th with an ailing car I drove hard as I could and manged to get back up in to 5th with a nice gap gaining on 4th and 3rd only to loose it again in a silly low speed spin out on the last turn. Got going again, frazzled but confident, and tried catching back up.
Slowly gaining time back I was in decision about a pit stop, saw everyone else pitting so took a chance staying out doing a few slower laps and managed to save enough fuel to avoid a stop. I had to run in conservative mode for the last few laps. Soon as I saw 1 minute left I knew i had JUST enough fuel to make it pushing at 110%. For once luck stayed with me and I Very Very happily got my 3rd place back at the end with 1/0 left in the tank.. Phew..!!

Surprising what thinking a few laps ahead can do for ya! Very rewarding finish!

Too bad for you Matthew' I was very impressed to see you up ahead of me yet again in qually, just need some luck now! :)

Rich gets a dirty date yet again, gotta change that luck soon bud! :)

Grats all, great racing!

Woof woof! ;)

First I want to thank Daniel Cowan for share his setup , that fix my problems. I was not fully comfortable with the car/track so I decided to star in the back to get out of the way and work my way up in a safely manner.

I ended fighting for 3rd place but when I stopped for a fuel, the fuel was not enough, so I had to stop again. Anyway from my view, race was clean, I had no incidents, race was very very fun.

See ya next time.
