Title: oulton races
Post by: marc n on March 26, 2012, 11:06:27
hi all
a first post / thankyou from myself , dave, colin, and nick ( car 89 )
had a great first race weekend at oulton, having been involved in motorsport for the last 25 years i can honestly say i have never experianced anywhere the help, support and advice and welcome we received from the entire 2cv racing community :-) what a great championship :-) unfortunately i cant remember everyones names but a special thankyou to team tete rouge, paul and sammie, and tete rouge mechanic :-), and aubrey who very kindly entrusted us with his engine :-) without all the help we would of been travelling home after the 1st qualifying session! but instead we managed to start both races :-) we have plenty of work to do after the second race ( left front kingpin collapsed, rightfront wheel bearing collapsed and brakes gave up ) that was just in the first two laps lol :-) and then finally gearbox gave up after 8 laps !! but despite these problems i still had a grin on my face :-) and the other guys enjoyed every moment too:-) now counting down to next race now when we will have more time to get the car slightly better prepared :-) and some spare parts !!
thankyou all once again for your help and welcome :-)

Two good races on Saturday would rather have seen them from the other side mind.

I saw the photos on facebook; looks like the weather was as nice there as it was here!

As usual - let me know where I've gone wrong :) or if you want to add a bit about your race

I did wonder where all that grass had come from!
