finale

What started on a rainy note ended on a sour one. With saturday practise rained out and needing to bed in some brake

pads, most of qualifying was lost. And although I didn't really take the points battle seriously until the end of the year,

I found myself in 3rd place in ITB for the 1 hour Atlantic Challenge race.I knew something funny was up though when I

noticed all the officials looking at my car in the morning. The same guys who probably didn't even know who I was all

year were my best friends all morning. Now I had been struggling to get the car up to weight all year and unfortunately

they picked the last race of the year with a points battle on the line to notice my illegally placed ballast on the passenger

side (hmm). Somebody trying to teach the young guy a lesson I guess. anyway we spent all of lunch legalizing the

ballast, and were still short, so we would have to run heavy heavy fuel and hope there would be enough left in the end to

make weight. To make a long story short, the top two cars went out and I would of finished in second in the

championship but I missed weight by 6 lbs. Oh well, 4th isn't too bad I guess, and next year I will be on the podium.
