Thanks Dubster
Qualifying was absolutely terrible in the rain. Could not get her to turn in. Qualified in 12th position. (four seconds slower than the first guy
)
First race from 12th to 2nd. 2nd fastest lap time. I had a amazing start. A bunch of the guys were sleeping on the start. When I saw the red lights go out it was pedal to the metal. Passed about 5 cars in the pit straight!
Second race from 2nd to 2nd. Got fastest lap time.
Under braking I catch the Nissan big time, but he's got more power than me. So in the straight he simply drives away from me again. Every lap on the table top I see him braking at about 125m, I can go to about 50m before stomping onto the brake pedal.
I think if we had 2 more laps in the traffic I would've caught him. Bu that 's racing. I'm very happy with the results.
This is only the 3rd race since bringing the car back to historics. And me (the peanut behind the steering) also need some time to adapt to the car again.
Our next race is at Zwartkops again. I think 20 June. Cannot wait!

Excellent Louis! Glad the car seems to be working well for you. Would have loved to see you spank them from the start line.

Yes 4age saw in the first race how you trashed them out of the line,the second race you also gave that gx shit out of the line...and you could see you were on his ass in the turn but the straight he would pull away at first but after a while you were catching him...i wonder if you saw me after race two i stood there at straight across from the pits straight were the cars park and waved at you,it looked like you saw me but obviously you wouldnt know who i was...ill see you the 20th if al goes well...
