Would love to come and watch and help out Matt but can't pass up the garage time.

The car didn’t go too bad today considering. In the first race the rear brakes decided to jam on but it finished the race. We managed to free them off enough for the next race and the car was going ok but it is bogging down a little and I didn’t have any smaller tyres with me to increase the revs and stop it. I did try just hanging on in second gear but it was on the redline well before the end of the straight so I decided that wasn’t a good idea on a 120,000 mile engine and went back to using third.
It was very wet today with some massive puddles and the car seemed to handle well, managed to get a 6th in the second race and came home in one piece with just some tweaking to do so I reckon that it was a pretty successful day

Well done, I don't think your MK would have made it through that puddle still going straight!

Well done Matt, great effort in finishing both races and a 6th in the second , not a bad day out. That was a lot of water on that track, saw the video on FB some really big puddles.
Glad you got back safe and sound, hope we can all here about it next weekend.

Well done Matt, what were the race manors like with the other competitors.
Is there a list of fixtures and events as would love to get to one.
Apart from those mentioned what other tinkering have you to do,
