Mind you, having Tony Parks a minute behind me was sure to spur me on. I nearly got tipped off by the wind catching the front trispoke just after the start, but after that I had no trouble. As expected the wind assisted me down the main road towards Chicheley, but more astonishingly, it seemed to help most of the way back to North Crawley. That mystifies me! Anyway, I was pretty pleased - not only did the rain hold off, but I limited my losses to Tony Park to 30 seconds, which was pretty good given his form lately, but I improved about 11 seconds from three weeks ago. An encouraging event...next race is the Norlond '50' on the F1/50 on Sunday morning - this will be my first 50 since the 2006 season!
There's a report from Tony over at the NBRC web page.
