Well onto the Buggies... My Usual Race Machine...
Got there Nice and Early.. 7am !!!!! AAnd got a Nice Pit Area right by the Rostrum ready for (Hopefully) a Lovely Day.
A Record Day for the Series and Frankley... 116 Drivers !!!!!!
Frankley have just spent £2500 on 220 Tonnes of Hardcore to Improve the Drive and Pit area etc.. It was an Improvement, but they're still needs to be Another Good 220 Tonnes to Carry on the Good Work.
Well onto the Racing.
Round 1,
Not too bad, bit slippy underfoot, but just take it easy and put in a time. After looking at the Result, i was Quicker the Previous day with the Revo !!! lol
Round 2,
A couple of little changes to the car and it was a bit Better, but my Driving and that of Others around me anded in Stupid Mistakes and Eventually.... A Broken RC8 !!!!!
Round 3, And the Last.
A few more changes and it was going Much Better. Just wanted to stay Consistant and Not try too hard and end up Crashing all the time again !!!
Well, an improvement and now a wait to see where i Qualified....
70th out of 116.
That put me 10th in the F Final.
So not too bad, but could've done Better...
On to the Finals....
F Final, 10 Minutes Long. So 1 Fuel Stop.
I made 1 More Change to the Buggy and hoped it would be the last change needed to steady the front up a little.
Got a Good Start and managed to Capitalise on some Mistakes by Others. My Aim was to Try and come in the Top 3 and Bump Up to the next Final. I would be Happy with that.
Well after some Awesome driving i got my self up into 1st Place and Stayed there to the Finish !!!!
So, Bumped up to the E Final.
E Final, 10 Minutes Long, so 1 Fuel Stop.
Start Position, 13th.
Well, again, got a Good Start and settled down for another Race. Again i just wanted to have a Steady Race and put in some Consistant Times/Laps.
Well, thats what happened and i just Drove my Own Race and managed to climb up the Positions.
Finished 2nd !!!!
So, Bumped Up to the D Final.
D Final, 15 Minutes Long, so 1 Fuel Stop.
Start Position 14th.
After 20 Minutes of Racing i decided it would be a Good idea to put the Buggy on Charge. Even if it would only be for a few Minutes.
Well, What a Day, Another Good Start and off i went, Again to just do my Own Race and Try to do my Best. By now i pretty much knew the Track conditions, but was getting a bit.... Eye Sore etc ;)
Again, just put in Consistant Laps and by the time 15 Minutes had come round i Finished.... 3rd !!!!
So, Bumped up to the C Final.
C Final, 15 Minutes long, so 1 Fuel Stop.
Start Position 15th.
Well, Fuck Me !!!!! What a Few Races i'd just had !!!!
I tried to regain my composeur and get ready to do it All again...
Well, My Luck had to change some time... I got tagged and ended up going into the 1st corner 14th (so i still Gained 1 Position !!).
This was it then, there were some Damn Good Drivers in this Final and i thought, if i can just Finish where i Started, that would make me Happy...
Well, it started to go pretty well and after about 6 Laps i could here that i was up to 8th !!!.
Again just by Driving Consistantly and Trying my Hardest No to Crash !!!!
Then Eventually, My Luck ran Out.....
As i'm at Full Throttle going down the Main Straight, My Front Right Wheel decided it had, had enough and wanted a Break, so Off it Went !!!!! Careering down the Straight !!! Only to be Stopped by some Poor Blokes Bollocks !!!!!! :lol: :lol:
Well, i thought, Oh Well, Thats it My Awesome run has Finally come to an End (cause i havn't got any Spare Wheel Nuts). But then Rob spotted mine on the Track, so Fuck It !!!! Off we go again....
Well, i Decided, Fuck it i'll Try some things out that i didn't want to before because of the Cosistancy and Not wanting to Crash. Sometimes they were Working, other times i Crashed... :lol:
Then that was it, it was over....
Finished 13th. (So Still gained 2 Places, even after being out for 3 Minutes !!!)
Well, what can i say....
What an AWESOME FUCKIN DAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Best Ever Performance and i came of Sooo Proud of My Self and My Driving. Even Better when a few people commented how Good i'd Been Driving.
After all that, i Bumped Up 3 Times and Raced in 4 Finals !!! I am now The Bump Up King !!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
The only thing left to say is....
A BIG THANK YOU to Rob, my Pit Bitch through All my Finals. Mate, You were Awesome and without You it wouldn't have been Possible. :clap: :clap:
