SDC Performance UK News

We arrived at Snetterton late on friday night and all settled down for the night in the truck , only to be awoken by heavy rain at 5am ... This was not good , as at 9am scrappy is due to qualify for grid position and we don't have any wet wheels or tyres !!

Qualifying .. we manage to complete the slowest 3 laps ever of a soaking wet cicuit on dry , cold race tyres . We keep scrappy upright and do our 3 laps which is the minimum required amount for us to be able to race. No suprise but we were slowest in our group.

Saturday Race 1 .. All very excited and now with the sun out scrappy is ready to roll. With the last call for our race the tyre warmers are removed  and ... we have a 5 min mini hurricane !! the heavens opened !! We were actually looking for gods plague of raing frogs or brimstone !!  If you are still following this you will be aware we have no wets .. so Race 1 ... no show( sulking )

Saturday Race 2 .. At bemsee club the finish position for race 1 is your start position for race 2 .. So we start in 39th place ( luckily had my ticket on me to get back into the circuit when the lights went out for the start ). A good start and progress was made into the top 10 , but on lap the the brake mastercylinder resevoir cap fell off .. brake fluid everywhere and game over agian ... more sulking !!

Sunday Race 1 .. We are very optimistic .. scrappy has had a good nights sleep and a good BBQ was had by the team. Starting at the back again , this time with a flying start .. a very hard race and pushing all the way to flag gave us 7th overall and 1st in class + fastest lap.

Sunday Race 2 .. Starting 7th on the grid ,  just as we start the warm up lap it starts to rain , but having been declared a wet race already everybody starts on dry tyres in the slippery conditions. Another good start and we are away with the front running tuned 400's. Another hard race and scrappy does us proud with a 4th place overall , 1st in class again and another fastest lap.

The old girl never missed a beat !!!

And now a pic of a fat old bloke looking smug with his new love scrappy x x

And finally .. scrappy had a team of helpers .. but we would like to say a special thank you to our 2 brolly dollys who not only kept scrappy dry in the wind and rain but also warm .. Thank you Eleanor and Mia

And they all lived happily ever after ... The End
