Bristol - 16th / 17th April 2006
"HOT RODS LINE UP NOW PLEASE!!!" Ah, we must
be at Bristol then, home of the loudest pit announcements in the country!
;-) Following our step back from the nationals we decided to race this
two day Bristol season opener to see how the car would now perform on
Avon's after the last 9 national meetings on the Hoosier tyres, also we
thought it might be fun!
 |
A healthy grid of 16 very diverse cars lined
up for heat one, some full spec nationals and others not quite so.
With the much differing speeds between the cars though some excellent
racing took place, Brian securing 2nd in heat one, narrowly behind
Mike Loosemore in #780. |
Heat 2 saw Brian starting from virtually the rear of the field
in 15th place but with the car working well he was able to climb to 7th
by the end of the race after a few interesting moments whilst overtaking
some of the slower cars. In truth we were lucky to get a result in this
race at all as the clutch cable broke at the start of the race, fortunatly
just as the car went into second gear so the race could be completed with
no problems. If that wasn't enough the throttle return spring decided
to give up as well!
