Jack wins Whilton Mill’s August Novice cup
24/08/2008 by Jack.
After Some unlucky qualifying I still manage to qualify joint highest novice,but get fired off before the race even starts(thanks Sean)
I start the race 150 metres down on the back off the field.
By the last lap I’m second novice.Then I get a good run out of turn 3 which sets me up on the inside of turn6 (good advice Dave) to take the Novice lead with half a lap to go
I win my first televised race
04/08/2008 by Jack.
I was invited to a novice cup televised race, when I turned up there was 7 novice drivers there.
When I first went out onto track it was really slippy (green track)and I was only able 56 second lap-times.
When we had are practice start (standing) i was starting last and Max Kenney was on pole with NO LEAD !!!!!!
In to the first corner i was into 2nd and right on the bumper off Max I managed to overtake him but as he was 10kg lighter he overtook me down the straight.
When it came to the real race I was starting 7 th out of 8.
On the start some of the drivers got caught napping and I gained 4 places and on the first lap Max kenney span and was last .
After five laps i had to come in for a pit stop i came in 2nd but Liam stalled coming in and we were all bunched up in the pits.
After a very impressive pit stop by my dad only when every one else had 4 mechanics and got me out in 3rd.
Behind Jack and Aron Campbell (Darren Campbell the Olympic sprinters son)after 4 laps i caught them.
With half a lap to go i made a lunge down the inside and made the move stick and won the race !!!!
On my victory lap my wheel come of and i come but i luckily had finished the race .
I shall up date my blog when its on TV .
