It was good to see Duncan and Richard Saturday.
My car was going well I managed 3rd in the first heat.
The second heat went a bit wrong near the start as I got boxed in behind a slower car that was all over the place and then punted another car up the back which scrubbed all my speed off and put me back to 7th so I had to fight back and managed to get to 4th finishing alongside the 3rd place car (if only I’d had another lap).
The final the car was going well but just couldn’t catch the front 2 so finished 3rd again. I was running with tyres that are just showing the cords for the last race so have got to sort some more tyres out and also have a plan for a little more power for next meeting too.

Nice little write up, it's nice to see the people organising the events that they want to let people know about what goes on.

Re: SKCC goes Mini Rod racing.
Apologies for a belated post from me. Great to catch up with Matt, Kev and colleagues last Saturday at Lydden Hill. As always, I was greeted with a warm welcome and great hospitality including a great burger and well received mug of coffee, thanks team. Watched some great racing with Matt and Kev right in the mix.. Kev leading the rolling start and holding off the swarming pack for a good while at one point. A fun afternoon, and lovely to catch up with Team Haines &Kegco! Nice one both! Hopefully will do it again before returning to Scotland,
