Race 2 practice session has started 20 mins

 

[Antonio Tavares]

Race 2: better, but lonely.

Had to start from last row, because when I was entering my qualifying lap found an Alpine at slow speed that didn't saw I was there, slight contact and I was out. But after a good start, I found my self in third position, and profiting from small mistakes from the cars ahead I was able to take first position and keep it until the end.

 

[Rupe Wilson]

great track with 2 cracking cars.
could not do it justice though, I did to much and set my back off again.
I was at the hospital today, so it was good that it was a bit crook as they have found things that are wrong.. But they cant do anything about it..
apart from give me big needles.
But enough of that...
Would of been great with a bigger turn out as this track is real good fun.

see you all next week for Imola...

Sorry Antonio for the contact in quaily

 

[Antonio Tavares]

Np Rupe, it was fun to start from the back as I had the opportunity to fight for some positions.

Hey, I hope you get better soon from your back. Have you tried acupuncture? Works miracles in some cases...

 

[Rupe Wilson]

Iv'e had acupuncture in the past and yes it can relieve it, but there is nothing to stop it from actually happening. Apart from a new back
I used to go to a chiropractor and get clunked every month to straighten me up, but never actually got rid off the problem and i don't think i ever will. had it for 10 years now... Just learn to live with it and get on with it..

You have good times and bad times, I needed to get it all flared up to go to the specialist so they can see it at it worse. So today was self inflicted..
should calm down i a few days. ( i hope) Time for the happy pills and visit the fairies.

 

[Hiroshi Awazu]

Sorry guys for ditching so suddenly but i got a phone call from my girlfriend saying that she hurt herself at work and is waiting in Emergency at the hospital so i went over to be with her. Nothing too serious but gf will be off work for several weeks.

As for the race I got a good start in R1, hung with 1st and 2nd place drivers and of course as usual i blundered, this time i botched my downshift causing a lockup and spun (facepalm).

Ended up at back but caught up and passed Paul and Rupe and started my charge to catch up to Hans. I was catching up to him then I got the call so I had to leave.

Oh well, had fun while I was there, see you all next week

 

[Kjell Eilertsen]

Hope for a speedy recovery for your GF!

 

[Paul Bennett]

Me & Rupe was at the back in race 1 in the Alfa swapped places a few times, was fun just getting the hang of the track. Race 2 Alpine same place as normal

 

[Hiroshi Awazu]

Hope for a speedy recovery for your GF!

Thanks 2 / 3 weeks and she should be back to her ol' self again.
