well yeah last weekend was the twyford rally... the same one that we hit a tree on last year. just this time we hit one a bit harder
Had an awesome day, shame about the weather, but suppose it made it more fun / challenging on the stages.
SS1 - first run through it seemed alot smoother than last year, we had a reasonable run. forgot how slippery twyford could be and how much left foot braking helps you round there.
SS2 - we had a few spins trying to push it a bit hard and ended up loseing time and dropped us to about 7th in 14's
SS3 - first time round the tight section at the back, really enjoyed it and gained alot of time on people round there. Track was getting increasingly more rough.
SS4 - didnt get to do it as out team mate hit the same tree that we were to hit on ss6
SS5 - first lap was a flyer, cought our 30 second man at the end of the first lap who then decided he didnt want to move out the way so we couldnt get past him for the entire second lap and we lost loads of time, told us he didnt know we were there even though we had the lights flashing, horn on and was pretty much touching his bumper. CAR 70 PLEASE LEARN HOW TO PULL OVER
SS6 - trying to gain back the time that we lost from being stuch behind car 70 we were pushing it, maybe a bit too hard, came into a 3R just af you enter the tight section and hit some mud on the inside which sent the car sliding and we ended up in the trees.
seems like twyford has struck again as it was last year where we clipped a tree here too.
I would like to say a massive thanks to all the organisers / marshals, also to darky's crew who did an excillent job all day despite the weather and also to pat and liz for what they do. Also to loz, you did well yesterday even though you may ofgot a little scared at one or two points
