end of season
I cant believe how long it is since I last
blogged. Sorry Im crap, I dont know if anyone
ever actually reads it anyway, lol. Well since
the last blog Ive raced at Oulton, Brands and
Mallory. I loved Oulton Park, it straight away
became one of my favourite circuits and I had my
best finish coming 6th which didnt really do me
justice I was 4th at one point and right on the
first three. Brands was great I was in the middle
of the battle for 9th,10th and 11th place it was
so close and we kept changing positions it was
really good fun. Mallory was incredible and truly
was a proper hero to zero experience! I loved
Mallory already and being a big oval I feel at
home there and for the only time this year I did
some testing, knowing that I am fast there we
thought it was my best chance of a good result so
we worked on the set-up and I fine-tuned my lines
and it really paid off, I went out in qualifying
confident with myself and the car and qualified
on pole, woohoo! Unfortunately my glory didnt
last and although I stayed in the front pack
holding my own for 5 laps I ended up very hard in
the inner Armco at Gerrards. One very sorry
looking car and this years first and only DNF.
Not only was it so disappointing because of
losing the race, I knew that the car was going to
the Autosport Show and it would take a lot of
hard work to get it straight and looking pretty
again in time. The only good thing was that the
fastest lap in the race didnt touch my poletime
ha ha I rule Mallory! So that was the end of the
season for me as I missed the final around and
night race at Donington. Weve now had the Awards
Dinner Dance which was a great night and I was
really impressed with my Ladies Championship
trophy its a fabulous big crystal one (Cheers
Rodger!). Now I am desperately trying to scrape
together some sponsorship to enable me to carry
on, it is sadly looking like I might not be able
to race next year unless I can get some
sponsorship, Ive spent hours on the computer
creating letters, presentations, profiles etc and
sending them out but so far with no joy. In the
current economic climate I think motorsport is
really going to suffer. I wont give up easily
though, with all that Ive achieved over the past
two years this is only the beginning hopefully,
not the end.
