I had some great battles with Marcel, Waldemar, Paul C and Jonathan in the two races I finished.
Race one was for me was a three way battle for most of the race but finding it hard to hang on to the leaders pace. I worked my way up from 8th to 4th but during the race needed some luck to get that result. Trying to hold off Marcel didn\'t work as he just had to much pace and with about 2 laps to go he passed me easily. Waldemar came hard at me but I managed to keep him out to take a 4th and with the standard of the field I was pretty happy with the result.
Race two I was involved in a great chase with Jonathan, I passed him, he passed me and it was wheel to wheel for quite a few laps before he made a mistake giving me 4th place. That gave Marcel a chance to catch me again and he did making up a 5 second gap in just 3 laps. This time I was able to hold him off until the end and again with some luck take a 4th.
Race three, reverse grid order. Yes it\'s a recipe for disaster but it opens up the race for some different results. We seen David Cruickshank win this races in the past from last position but with 19 on the grid it was always going to be a tall order.
As it turns out there was a large coming together ?before T1 (politically correct
) and the result sent my car flying. I had to make a pit stop to fix the damage and that\'s where my race ended. I got pit bugged finishing my race. Hoping this is on the list of to do\'s for ISI.
The race was entertaining just two watch Paul Ceglia leading most of the way only to have Dean Hart get through to take his first win in the series.
The highlight of the night for me was Waldemars great show of sportsmanship after getting to racey in to T1. As admin I can\'t help but think the League is going in the right direction wth this kind of behaviour. Well done and if we had a sportsman of the week award it would go to you

All in all for me personally and in terms of how it all went it was the best Event to date. Well done guys, see you all at the next one
