There's only a 10% chance of rain, Rich better make sure his blades are clean.

Couple of low res pics from me, I’m sure the stories of the day will come out over the next few days, Took me a few runs to get the car set up right, it had rear steering for first few runs ! , and I now own the lawn mower king title ! , but with a little help, a change of tyres and soften of the suspension, the times came good, #prouddad ! I had hoped Nick would finish up around the 85 second mark on his first event ever so 80 seconds was a big result, and I was happy to finish on a 75, only a couple of seconds behind my personal best

Thanks again to Mark, because without him Sponsoring the class and cup and the Mk1 forum we wouldn’t have another brilliant outing for our cars to be used
