Now that Leon seems like any other Leon but let me tell you that thing is freaking 20ft wide! There must be something in the rulebook that prohibits that,right?

Great work Ink!

Very first podium in any event for me also in heat three.  The car was great in the turns but no legs down the stretch.  Tried to keep the pressure on Monkey but knew I could not pass him unless he made a mistake.

Had my mirrors full of grim for 2 races, you drove really well mate. Race 3 the handycap was to much and I could only manage last place lol.

Hello,

67 oooh, I didn't make it and missed my opportunitiy to stay in front of Grim :-) ....but .... what ..... wait a minute: Grim you've got your first podium????? GRATULATION man, then I think I wouldn't be in front of you.

Hopefully I will see you next sunday. I am on the road again (boring hotel rooms), have not time for practicing, but will try again.

Thanks Monkey!  It was great to finaly race with some confidence behind the wheel.  That had to make you a bit nervous for you knowing I was back there and "what the hell is grim going to do this time" feeling you must have had.  That said, its was really the first time I felt that "I" was driving the car instead of it driving me.

jdan - I missed you buddy.  Dont worry, I think it was more of a function that passing was really difficult on the track more than anything else.  I started on pole in that heat and was able to hold the guys off.  I'm sure I'll be back where I belong in the next event (especially with the 5% handicap :(.  Hope to see you next week

Hope so Jdan

But don't forget your worst 3 weekends are dropped anyway.

Also as the standings are set on averages it is very easy to move up or down the table as this time as there are only a few results to go by:-)

Just to be clear, it will be an hour later than usual (local time) for those of us that just started daylight savings time today. So, 6pm EDT. Correct?

Thanks Church. I understand how you would have trouble with this complicated math problem (if you mess up adding 1 hour vs. subtracting 1 hour things get really fucked up) so I'm glad Parcells could help out...in my way

Hello,

my summary:

First race = terrible. I had massive problems to understand, that my little BTCC-car handles different, then my beloved Holden V8 supercar. 10 from 10.

Second race = Good. Managed to stay in front, found some time and drove my best lap time. Reached 4th place.

Third race = catastrophic. Nearing the first corner someone said to me, that my car is lagging, I was frightened, missed the curve and drove straight ahead. Ended again as 10 from 10. Grrrrrr, I had a good chance, if I ........ Sometimes I am angry with myself about my stupidity. GRrrrr.

And again .........
