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.

Just to prove someone does read your blog! Sincerely hope that your sponsorship hopes come off. Drop me a line, I might be able to sort something.
