Yesterday was an interesting day at Crail. I arrived to sign on around half nine and then it started to rain but thankfully it was a fairly light shower, but this made the surface rather greasy to say the least. Especially with R888's.
Anyway it dried out later and then I started putting in some decent times, 13.5 and then I stopped - as I'd qualified for the shoot out. I reckon high 12's were on the cards but there was no point in pushing her anymore at this point.
Then the heavens opened.
Crail in the wet with R888's on through puddles is not a pleasant experience I can tell you. My first shoot out was easy
but my next one was against a Corsa 2.0 Turbo which ran 12.4 in the dry....
His time - 15.649
My time - 15.588
But his reaction time was quicker so he won, which is totally fair but I think I gave him a fright.
He then lost to the Nova that won it - top blokes by the way. My time, in the wet at least, was quicker than Russ Paton's time so if I'd gone up against him I may well have made the final....who knows.
The Nova, Corsa and Russ' Astra are all stripped out whereas all I stripped out was my tools. Still fully loaded, and running over half a tank.
I think the Coupé might have surprised a few folk...
