I stuffed a rad on the second lap first race but of course did not know till the engine started to smell and pink, race over by then, no placings, first time at this track so takes a while to learn it, also stuffed near side front wheel, and steering got about 2 inches toe in, changed rad & wheel, suspect head gasket gone, went out second race any way, I stuffed a guy up the bank and he rolled on to his roof (I think we had about 7 rollovers today), I got followed in and went up the bank after him but stayed on my wheels, had a couple more bangs, finished the, race, engine stopped, never to go again, so lost out on the final, but car will race again at this track in a few weeks. Next meet is Dover I think it is bank hol Monday, need a small Honda for this one, will be sourcing one soon, Swifty finished all four races very very very unusual for him, his car usually has to be craned onto the transport home, Rick
