EWS round 3 & set up

So then, its been a few weeks since ive bothered to update the blog, this is because normally I update with my iphone but since the latest update to the app you cant upload any pictures... Annoying much?!

so anyway, on with the blog.

another 5am wake up happened ready to set off for the 2 hour drive down to Essex approx 110 miles away for round 3 of the EWS series.
I was again running in 21.5 and was looking forward to getting behind the sticks again as it had been nearly a month to the day since i last raced anything due to other commitments.

got there, set up tables with Jimmy and Carter like normal so we can have some good banter like always.

the track looked amazing as per usual, they always do a top job at EWS!

after Qualifying i ended up 2nd on the grid, loosing out on TQ by about 0.2 seconds, so it was Jimmy on pole with three 0's and me 2nd with two 0's and one 2 (2nd gets 2 points)
finals were over fast for me, getting peeled off on the first corner and getting droppped right to the back, i had to drive mega hard to get anything from the race, eventually ending up back in 4th place. the pace was definitley there for the win though.

here is the youtube link to the final
