You could say that --- Red 159 , Red Aygo , Red Stylus , Red Alfa GTAm plus the red Boardman

Oh god I hope Rob realised his mistake he was supposed to take the bike not the red car

[stylussprinter]

Couldn't take the bike to Goodwood , I'd be 20 minutes getting round

Anyway , it was warm and dry all day so no excuses on that score. Although somewhat concerned about the first corner/Madgewick , I approached it in 4th at full throttle then a little lift and no braking and she stuck that ok without a wobble. Then up to 6500rpm before 5th and almost flat through Fordwater and down to Noname , no braking , small lift then St Mary's entry in 4th and pushed hard into the dip and out of Lavant also in 4th but with a lift. Pushed hard on exit to 7000rpm revcut the 5th at the kink ---------------- rather sluggish while waiting for 5th to build up to max at under 6000rpm/too high a ratio . Dropped to 4th for Woodcote with a lift then into 3rd at exit rumble and pushed hard on through the Chicane. Lots of variation during the day as to what I did and where but the above got me the best laptime.
Classification of classes was really odd ie. finals had me in class 2 when actually entered class 4 . So with 27 in class 2 the awards were given with us split into class 2 to 5 and none had me in any top three positions Until BRIGHTON & HOVE website shows the full results I haven't a clue where I came within that group of 27 cars BEST lap was 113.46 sec's from starting first practice at 119 sec's .

Handling with my first best guess at set-up was great , very secure but really missed the 5th top end of my Stylus

[stylussprinter]

Results now out.
My class , after 5 were moved , was 22 cars . I was 13th fastest with my 113.46 sec's , the slowest being over 120 sec's.
Overall from 144 entries I was 62nd.

Martyn Phillis took this of my Chicane exit at the Bailey sprint . He's also a long time sprinter

[hearbear]

That's looks so much prettier than a Mk2 escort and I like escorts.

[stylussprinter]

A few others in class with me waiting to get up the pitlane.

[stylussprinter]

Just had ACSMC champ results so far and it appears I was 3rd in class from the ACSMC entries in the Alfa .

[stylussprinter]

Not running the Stylus at Abingdon this Saturday 4th June , but will be competing again in the GTAm , class A4 number 43 and 11 entries in class. Stuart's not able to come but Andy Clark , long time Alfa hillclimber will be with me , as pit crew

[stylussprinter]

This Saturday 6th August will be my last sprint in the GTAm rep , then it will be the STYLUS in Sept/Goodwood and Oct/Eelmoor and that's it for 2016 . Three in each is more than the total I've been entering since retirement .
Stuart is most likely working next weekend so I'll have no pit help and , right now , have a bloody aweful back issue Anyone fancy being my pit bitch
