My first proper race in a timed sprint series.

I had an absolute blast, the Golf performed flawlessly all day, with the only weakness being the driver!

The day started out very damp and slippery and after lunch we just about had a full dry line. Surprisingly this was my fastest run of the day, despite my over-exuberance. realistically I think there was maybe 1/2 a second I could have picked up, but not much more.

A big thanks to the organiser, Javelin. And my pals Nick, Rob and Dunc for the support!
