So everything was fixed and ready for the outing Winter Masters series at Barabagallo on the 7th of June

Qualifying

Went out and felt good but for some reason car kep overrevving so pulled into the pits to find that the throttle was sticking and was just revving out? Got towed back up as i couldnt drive it and found that the idle screw had lost its nut and screwed itslef out to have the throttle open... loctite and tape later and it was done. Qualified 10th

Race 1

Went from 10th to 8th off the start and held it there until the end A few moments with cold tyres, learnign the car again and so forth.... I will get there...

Race 2

Reverse grid, went from 6th to first off the line and then settled down for 7th at the conclusion due to a spin on turn 4 due to driver error and gearbox oil on the track... It settles me though and felt more comfortable with the car and its braking characterisitcs this run...

Race 3

Race 3 started and then finihsed on the line. Broke the left rear drive shaft and that was my day done.

Great work though to all my helpers and support, especially Kelly who lets me do this crazy shit...
