May 2nd '99.
Entered for practise only.
9th place in Consolation!?
2 points, NO damage.
So can't complain eh!
(a) Lowering the Aerofoil makes for faster towing to and from Meetings! (b)and(c) Dominic enjoys 'night' racing and preferably on 'shale'. BEST fun since starting in F2's!! BUT most damage so far. Competed in Heat 1, Final and Grand National....just!
NO points, but an eventful night.
532 Miles round trip from Darlington
Co. Durham. (He was in London working!) Sadly NO points. Won a bottle of Vodka for being the 'Furthest travelled' driver! Got a mention in F2 magazine 'Unloaded 7.3' too!
Heat 1. Pulled of after lap 6 due to throttle cable jamming?!. Appeared in the Meeting video, good action pic's of 148 whilst leading for the first 4 laps. Finished 9th in Consolation.
2 Points for 9th..TOTAL points so far for 1999 only 4.
(a) Preparation of 148.(b) Driver in via side tight entry. Heat 1.(c) Saw the Front offside wheel knocked off AND Rosejoint plus Steering arm buckled due to another car being whacked into the 148 car.....(d) Tractor removed 148. (e)Speedy repairs allowed the 148 car back out for the (f)Consolation. Gaining a creditable 6th place, this result qualifying him for the Meeting Final!
After a tough battle for 4th place, a spin left the 148 car sideways across the track(ugh!). Moments later the nearside rear wheel was removed during a few seconds of madness from the other drivers trying to get round 148 and the corner, all at the same time!! Later it was discovered (g) that the 'halfshaft' had snapped too!! So the Stocker was loaded up and we all went home. A THRILLING DAY'S RACING!!....TOTAL points so far.....6!
The LAST BriSCA Formula 2 Stockcar Meeting of
the Millennium. His objective? to be 'in the Programme' and be in the LAST RACE of 1999!!
(a)The Team arrived on a cold but bright day by the sea!
having been in the lead for a few laps. On returning to the pits we checked everything out and found that the welded section supporting the Left trailing arm to the Chassis had broken off!
(f)Whilst waiting for the Grand National a huge
Firework Display (g) was under way. The Grand National was run with a full grid (35 cars). Dominic finished, but NOT in the points!
The 1999 Season, containing 5 Meetings and 6 Points.
Shame he HAS to work! Let's look forward to 2000!
OBJECTIVE for 2000? Compete in First race of Season!
AND hopefully do more Meetings, work permitting!!
