AC Ford Escort RS 1600 @ Croft Circuit 1.0 - Thu 10May18

[Bobby Pennington]

@Bobby Pennington ..this is killing me, it really is, I absolutely love racing with you guys, its fun and its fair, yes I was running towards the back of the field, but for sure was being pulled towards the front, with all the help I was getting ...you are a great host Bobby, you will help anybody, but will not stand for any very fair and firm

Sadly since the change in time zone here in the UK, it means a 2am race for me and staying up for most of the night, its surprising what a difference just 1 hr makes. Very sadly (due to time zone) it does start to effect the others within my young family like having breakfast with my boys before they go to school, I found I was just not able to get up in time, my youngest would sit on my disability scooter and get a ride to school, he loved it and it was/is also the "highlight" of my day

I understand that you can not change the start time and would never ask you to, I am one of just many involved. I just wanted you to know exactly why you are not seeing me so often.

Having said all that, I can not miss this great combo ...but I will leave you all shortly after the race.

In please ..ill take the Ford Escort RS 1600

Thank you for such kind words sir. I understand what you are saying about your family and I'm glad you put them first. That being said, I'm glad you are joining us tonight. It should be a lot of fun.

InsaneOzzie You gotta put the thing on upside down to counter the effects of driving upside down. It's so simple to the rest of the world, but you Aussies are a stubborn bunch

Practicing online and offline today I got control of the car, perfected a winning setup and was ready to enter tonight. Remember that last event I could not control the car at all! Then my wife and I sat down to a steak dinner and got into a drinking contest. the results of which mean that I will not be able to show all of you what I'm capable of in this car and on this track. Not to worry, there is a bottle of tequila nearby and my wife is calling me....

@Buster and @Tarek Khedr

Apologies for contact.

Failed to make a brake bias adjustment after quali (meant to) and struggled with the front locking anytime I went more than about 50% brake.
Overzealous, slid into you both, very sorry for that.

Fun racing otherwise.
Wish I hadn't botched the brake bias, felt like I had some decent pace otherwise.

No worries mate ..as above, trying to keep these cars in a straight line is almost impossible

It was a very fun race ..thanks to all

 

[Lars Hansen]

Well, that was.....interesting.
Keeping these things on track was a challenge, never mind driving it fast.

Apologies for the Turn 1 screw-up.
It's been a while since I last drove hell'n'toe, and I'm more than a little rusty.
So when everybody started braking for T1, I stomped on the clutch...*facepalm*
Only took a second before I switched to the right pedal, but that was all it took.
