snetterton first race july 15th o7

This is when i saw the blue smoke 2nd to last lap comming out of the back esses, yes i spun(STUPID) but I had a good fight back.
I finished in 10th place for this race from 27th on the grid(not all bad then!)

mr2 challenge snetterton 2nd race(TRACKSIDE)

I have purchased a second camcorder, it`s for Stu to play with at the moment and then will be run in his race car next year for in-car footage, this is the second race at Snetterton a not so good meeting for me as we had a problem with oil returning to the inlet side of the engine, (now fixed) but it did give me a scare as I had a rear view mirror full of blue smoke in the first race and I was down on power significantly, after we got home Stu pulled the head off and diagnosed the problem at the meeting we were waiting for it to go bang and possibly not finish "phew", it did and full power will be resumed for Brands (in-car vids on the way).

Mallory timed practise

So a wet Mallory Park then, that's just fine as the wet Set up that we have perfected combined with the car being perfectly balanced and weighted thanks to "RASPmotorsport", drives like a dream in these conditions and even I was surprised with the result of two pole positions , and the scary part is it was not hard apart from catching a tyre on the paint and loosing it as consequence the practise was enjoyable and even fun!

However what happened next was infuriating and costly, I was gridded up in pole and given instruction from the paddock marshal that differed from the final instructions of race confirmation, I stupidly followed the marshals verbal instruction and despite my camcorder having the proof of this conversation (the last thing communicated to me before entering the grid), the clerk and later after I appealed the steward just said "we didn`t say it so it never happened!"

So I was excluded and given six points, I will not dredge over it and now I have moved on thinking only of Snetterton the next round on July 15th and how I will be scoring well with now a very sorted car, thank you "RASP & my mechanic Stuart Skinner".
