Drama on the way to World Qualifying Round 5!
The drama started before we even reached the track for world
qualifier round 5 as the Loram Racing team were pulled over by the police
before being giving a prohabition order due to an overweight vehicle.

After a quick look round it seemed
the easiest way to lose a few hundered kilograms would be to lose
the crew! So Brian headed off to Northampton on his own while the
rest of the team awaited Karl to find them and take them to the
meeting, certainly some strange circumstances! |

Some stranded team members! |
Onto the racing then and a very possible third place went missing
in race 1 with a spin due to the new brakes not yet being set-up correctly.
Race 2 went much better and a 9th place finish was achieved from the rear
of the grid while 12th position in the huge 28 car final also brought
more welcome points home, this being the first meeting the team have scored
points in all 3 races. Work is now underway on the car set-up before the
next meeting at Birmingham on the 29th October.
