my biggest problem was concentration.....Age problem?
....sigh......note to self --> practice race long stints.
Okay my report:
Qualy:
Well i'm not a hotlap guy so doing a pb was more then i could ask for, just behind Cookie so i thought not to bad.
Race:
Start went well and kudos to all, this was one of the most clean races i have had since long time.
After T1 i was in 10th place and followed John (Cookie) as close as i possibly could. We gained places and life was nice. At one point Fergy went past me and him and me had a great battle going on for several laps.
Lap 15 disaster struck however, coming onto start/finish straight (i was 7th at that time) in the distance i saw a accident happen. Lots of smoke and debry all over the place. I made the mistake of not slowing down enough and Fergy in front did so all i could do to avoid a collision with him was go left side off track. This is concrete i think and there i lost control, in the process even touching Fergy (not sure) but if really sorry bout that.
Ended up in the wall loosing my front wing and damaging front suspension. Stumbled back to the pit to get repairs, turned out John was in the same boat and came in pit after me.
Came out of the pit in 16th place with a way to heavy car so couldn't do sub 1:11 laptimes anymore. Kept on going however and fought my way back to 10th. Then again i made a mistake and had to go in again because of damage. Got repaired and again was 16th but my car was even heavier then before (note to self: assign buttons to be able to adjust fuel fill) was now struggling to do sub 12 laps was following someone but wasn't able to overtake. At some point Dan Minges made a mistake giving me 15th and i was settling with the idea that this was all that was in it for me this time. Then another mistake in lap 46 and i didn't want to mess anybodies race up due to me stumbling around the track again to get into pits so i gave up.
Eventfull enough but not the way i liked it to be, but then again had great fights and was sweating like a ........
Thanks all and next time i will be better prepared......i hope
