Elder statesman got up half n hour b4 he went to bed π 5am
And tramped to bishopscourt race circuit πfor the 50th Enkalon trophy π race event unfortunately not a full grid but
a fair bunch of the classics which is always good to see π π
I heard there was apple pie π₯§ although this was unconfirmed....
Heavy rain π§ en route but elder reckons he brought the good weather with him as it soon cleared to make a good dry day so.
Qualifying was a non starter π as a
fuel β½οΈ π§ leak was detected ..
so back of the grid start it was .
Race one went well considering no practice session
bit of dicing π² ended up 6th spot happy nuff .
Race 2 π
Everyone got away after long time on the grid....
I even heard π
some folk calmed their
Launch π systems π«£ from race one ..
by this time elder was a tad busted & came home in 7th slot .
All in all good enough day at the office π¬ with no mechanicals or tarmac measuring activities..
Great banter & commadery in the paddock
& onwards we goes to the
Next event currently undecided ..
