And after the second course it pissed down...

Unfortunatly it was on the course that everyone wants to have the good time on (Grand Prix without Dipper) and my excuse of the month (I always have one) is that my windscreen wipers seized after the second corner, which meant I had to drive the whole run without wipers. Which was good that I didn't just pull in, because due to the rain the second run of that course was flagged due to the wet, meaning anyone who DNF'd the first run automatically got last due to not completing a course..

The last run of the day on a very very wet circuit was basically aquaplaning and drifting, I for one hit the end of the drag strip on my first run of the Old Circuit with a chicane to end up driving on basically the same grip as glass and was a passenger until I finally caught traction with resulting in hurting something in the car.. (in now steers badly to the left)

Even with the rain, a fun Speed Event, and now I get a rest until end of Jan as I'm Assistant CoC for the next one.. just need to find a pace car..

After failing scrutineering for having old seatbelts, the clutch started slipping on the way home. By the time i was half way home it didn't have enough clutch in it to do the same speed as the rest of the traffic, and by the time i got home i nearly had to push it up my drive. Strange.

Oh that suks mate. Oh well add some belts and a clutch to the injectors you need!

grouse event, a wee bit fast paced when double-running but all good.
FWD+ rain+ underdeveloped suspension made for a few interesting moments................who said you can oversteer slide a FWD without using handbrake??
