So did anyone else get rain on the mountain last night, in div 3 it started off sunny then got all dark and gloomy before the rain started. I thought it was very cool and added a bit more realism to the race. I was pretty happy to knock 6 tenths of my PB time in quali to put it on the third row of the grid behind Joe, I tried to stick as close to him as I could without hitting him so I could keep up with the leading pack. I certainly wasn't the fastest car out there but I managed to keep it clean and consistent which kept me in the hunt. Joe had to catch and pass me numerous times so I always tried to give him plenty of room. Apart from one overshoot at the chase and hitting the wall at Reid park (which both happened on the 12th lap of each stint, maybe I should have only done 11 lap stints) I had a pretty perfect race. I was holding on to 5th when Bryan jumped me on the last pit stop, I was reeling him in but the 2 laps wasn't enough to catch him. I stuck with the strategy of 12,24,36 with a 2 lap sprint on meds at the end. By far my best performance of the season
Vardz got the trifecta with web second, stiff 3rd followed by footlong...and flash dsc....oh wait I was dreaming...
That's a great points haul then! Tank 1st Stiff 2nd Footlong 3rd Joe 4th SPL 6th (damn wish it was 5th!)
And Beau nearly took out Div1B with a solid performance as well. Well done Tank on your victory, was there ever any doubt? Double podium for stiff and Foot in DIv5!!!!! You boys rock! I think flash may have had a bit too much flex in his front wing but we will let that slide. Well done killer, god knows how you did that race with one arm mate, must of taken plenty of bourbons! This may have been our best round of the season guys so well done, we are still in this thing.
What should have been our best round has now become our worst round of the season with the final decision to scrap all points for Div 6 drivers and all teams also had their joker picks cancelled. So that is a total of 45 points knocked off our tally for the week from Tank's joker pick and Killers second place finish which is quite disappointing. But we must respect the final decision and move on to Monza where I hope all rooms are back to correct regs. We are still sitting third in the teams championship but made no ground on the leaders.
so if we are to launch the same protest seeing as its caused a huge loss to us whats the difference? Unreal yeah? Captain Cob surely we shouldnt beade to suffer this?
I agree dudes, and hatters will know of my displeasure if he doesn't already, but he said his decision is final as absolutely friggin stupid as it is, so I don't know what course of action is available if any. Yes it is a massive kick in the guts but lets rise above the bull and concentrate on this weeks race and put in a showing that demonstrates that we are genuine contenders. Like we use to do back when I was playing footy, we may have lost the game, but we can sure as hell win the fight. Cheers
Sorry to those who feel hard done by, but it's done. I will accept any backlash you wish to throw my way. All I can say cob, is it isn't personal. You have been one of the best Team Captains this season, to one of the best teams. The turn around from last season is amazing. Keep at it, and next season, BHR may once again grace the top step.
Hold tight lads, there are some serious discussions going on behind closed doors about this decision. We will let you know once the dust settles
