Well my weekend was interesting. Saturday i didnt really pull it all together. Had a good round 4 but by which time it was to little to late. Had a great final even though i didnt win it. I have to say i was loving my move into the first corner.

And today well.... Went out in practise in the pouring rain. And car went ok was a bit slippy but ok. Round 1 was a crash fest between me, neil and Poor Andy Mountford (Sorry Andy). Round 2 cash smashed into the back of me. Breaking my rear pivot block and my diff outdrives and saver cups. Got it fixed. 5 minutes before round 3 I found my front wheel was a bit tight in places so took the LCD out and found it was gunged up. Which meant i missed round 3. Round 4 put it on the line and found it had on and off throttle found out that one of my reciever wires had snapped off my speedo. Thanks to Matt For fixing it for me

. Then after qualifying dead last. After changing most of the car. Diff tension, slipper, shock oils, springs, shock positions. I put it on the line and find that the posative battery wire had a bad joint on the speedo so it broke off. So it was a bad day.

So thanks for everyone who helped me.

Well done to Blitz and Jeff for marhalling on saturday.

Well dont to stan the man for 2nd on saturday.

Thanks to Dan for the push on friday.

Also message from my mum. Griff you have nice hair and skin. Rish Lowe you have nice eyes. lol

Lucky with the weather today, although we did have some wet rounds I think it could have been a lot worse and the track was actually really good in all conditions (and no tyre confusion = green BB's whatever condition).

Big well done to Colin May for a stonking day, really pleased for you mate.

Another Big well done to Matty Latham, for his best ever 4wd result and a very good B final qually position, shame you DNF'd the final as you were up there mate.

The track was fantastic, good meeting guys. Thoroughly enjoyed my C final race, I was worried it was going to be carnage like the few finals leading up to it, but it turned out to be quite clean.

Big thanks to Southport this weekend - track was awesome but defo needs more practice. Rain didnt affect atmosphere but highlight of the weekend was Truman on mic, the lad is a hero and comes out with some awesome comments that you can not help to laugh at - good work fella.

GRIFF55 · #90 20-07-2009

Agreed, me and belsten didn't stop laughing. We actually went and sat under the rostrum just to listen to him!! Goood Job Buddy.

the whole commentary over the weekend was awesome again, got it done, gooooooooood job, drag race
Thanks to all for a great weekend, thoroughly enjoyed the track too

Stu · #96 20-07-2009

Good skills to Colin May, 1st time 'A' finalist.

There was quite a lot of talk about Colin being a 'local' driver, it's not actually the case. He is local in terms of region, but not club.

GRIFF55 · #97 20-07-2009

who cares if your local or not, still gota drive pretty damn good on the day! I couldn't live with him on that back section in our race.
Well done!

Jamie B4 · #98 20-07-2009

Doesn't matter about any talk Stu. Colin was absolutely awesome to make a A final takes some doing but to qualify as high as he did was a credit to the region.

Also from the mid west a excellent drive for Stanners on saturday just couldn't pip Cragg and well done to Yardy again brilliant drive from 10th to 3rd - Midwest going strong

Jamie B4 · #99 20-07-2009

Griff beat me to it!!!

ryan_93 · #**100** 20-07-2009
