Despite picking me up late, going the wrong way on the M65 and
taking off his fleece at 80mph, Mark did get Duncan and me to the
race with time to spare.
A cool day was ideal for racing and conditions were generally very
good. There was a real battle for 2nd Dasher between Dunc, Kev Pete
and me. We changed places many times and in the end we finished
within less than a minute of each other.
Sarah and Jim had a good sprint to the finish, with Jim just ahead
at the line. If he'd tripped he'd have had stud marks all up his
back as Sarah thundered over him.
Worrying about getting his car off the slippery show field, Mark
went in search of a farmer to pull him off; I'm still unsure how
that would have helped
