What an amazing weekend! It started off great with that gathering at the Fox's (Thank you Then there was that little kafuffle when we got back ot the tents but lets not say anything about that as its all in the past now.
Me n' Loz decided to get down to the track as early as poss so that we could have a walk round and see but it was so but that we only go time to walk round about half of it. First stage i took really cautiously as i didn't want the same thing to happen to me as the sunbeam (head on into a tree - nav air lifted to hospital and driver in thambulance) on my first event, that looked real nasty with the big tree gauge in the front . :shock: the other stages we thought we did really well on considering that it was out first ever event. We got interviewed by SKY TWICE! (have a feeling one of those was thanks to Pat( another top guy thanks for organising everything))
The stages in the dry were really fun loved every minute of it and me and loz didnt really have any nervs atall, not even on the first stage, which surprised us. the wet stages were amazing fun, stage 7 we cought one car, spun cought him again passed him again stage 8 cought another car and then attempted to gain some time on a bm but there was no point as it left us down the straights :lol:
Im glad we made it to the finish, we lost a screw in the dizzy cap second to alst stage and it got some water in and the car was sounding really sick getting to the end of the stage and im sure a few of you saw, it had to be pushed from the finish line to out spot in the pits :wink:
Overall great day, thanks to Pat and the organisers / marshals and anyone else who helped out on the event
P.s. cant wait to see the pics and Sky footage now
ill post pics when i get them
