Buen ambiente en pista en Oulton
Good racing atmosphere on track at Oulton



Grats to Doni Paul and Tago not very happy due to the silly incident at the start

Thx all for racing

[David Cheshire]

So sorry David ... I ruined your race ... I have not seen the replay ... but I know I did not wait you to be there ... I thought my start was not bad

Pity you lost a wheel ... so I decided to continue

Sorry ... owe you a beer

Yes, I got a great start - probably too good as I surprised you down the outside! I don't think I moved over at all but maybe I did???? Anyway that's racing - at least it was a non-championship event .
Of course you should continue in such circumstances.
Too late on the offer of a beer as I have already had one (and that's my limit!).

See you all next week.

Sí, tuve un gran comienzo, ¡probablemente demasiado bueno, ya que te sorprendí por fuera! No creo que me haya mudado en absoluto, pero tal vez lo hice???? De todos modos, así son las carreras, al menos fue un evento que no fue de campeonato . Por supuesto, debe continuar en tales circunstancias. Demasiado tarde para ofrecer una cerveza ya que ya me he tomado una (¡y ese es mi límite!). Nos vemos la semana que viene.

A lucky win, to be sure, but I'll still score this one a full 5/5. Only one '64' lap when, in the slipstream of Paul's 12-cylinder Ferrari, I got such a tow that I went off the road briefly in Knickerbrook. I didn't slow down fast enough. Is that proper English? A curious blend of words. Dunno...

Paul was clearly the faster but a couple of brief off-track excursions set him back and there weren't enough laps for him to recover and challenge for the lead. As well, the T1, Lap01 shunt between David and Tago was instrumental in my scoring the win. Poor David was eliminated on the spot and Tago lost buckets of time. I had Xuggy closely following me for the first two laps but he slipped off the road in the Cascades on Lap03 to fall back. I certainly got the impression that Paul was just toying with me his big Ferrari having a considerable top end advantage over my Dino but those two small lapses punished him. Not that I had a perfect run. A couple of passes through the Cascades and Druids were less the optimal. Very fortunate not have dropped it in Druids at one point, in fact. Lucky boy.

Thanks all for racing.

Well done Doni for a deserved win.
You had good pace all race and made no major mistakes.

Sorry to those that DNF.

Thanks to PDLR for organising and hosting.

See you next race.

Los entrenos con Paul del domingo anterior además de divertidos fueron prometedores así que clasifiqué bien
The practice with Paul the previous Sunday was not only fun but also promising so I qualified well

Vi por fin la repetición y mi salida es para darme de latigazos
I finally saw the replay and my start is to give me a whipping

David tiene una salida espectacular mientras que burro de mi pensé que no había salido muy mal
David had a spectacular start while I thought that mine wasn't too bad

Iba recto en la dirección de Paul delante de nosotros y pienso que puedo mejorar la entrada a T1 y ajusto a la izquierda ese poquito que me irá bien y en ese ajuste es donde está David para recibir mi golpe
I was going straight in the direction of Paul in front of us and I thought I could improve my entry to T1 adjusting a little bit to the left and in that adjustment is where David is to receive my hit

El braby de David se descontrola y me golpea yendonos a las vallas .. David pierde una rueda ...
David's braby gets out of control and hits me and we go into the fences.... David loses a wheel...

Luego la carrera es intentar acercarme a los de alante pero los ritmos son parecidos y además en las ultimas vueltas tuve un par de despistes
Then the race is to try to get closer to those in front but the rhythms are similar and also in the last laps I had a couple of laps off

Compensar a David es imposible aunque si tuviera ahora mismo unos 3-4 millones de $ podría comprarle un eagle de verdad de 1966
To compensate David is impossible but if I had right now about 3-4 million $ I could buy him a real 1966 eagle
