September club day

Septembers club day this year was probably one of my most enjoyable race meetings this year. It it also my first club day on c grade, which is cool.

There was qualifying this time, and I qualified 2nd of 3, one tenth ahead of Jakob.

For heat 1, I got a good start and got passed by Jakob on turn 1, but got him right back into turn 2. Almost every lap he got me on turn 13 (page bros) and every time I got him on 2. Ended second.

For heat 2 I once again started 2nd and once again got passed by Jakob on turn 1 and once again got him back on turn 2. Once again, he kept getting by me on 13 and I kept getting him back on 2. At one point he got way past me and stayed ahead. Ended third.

For heat 3, I started second and didn't get passed off the start. I got a new line through 13 and he couldn't get passed me. At one point he looked at 5 but i thought he went back behind me, because he tried to pass me on 6 and hit the grass on the inside and spun. Ended second.

For the final, I started... SECOND! What a surprise, huh? Anyway, I got a cracking start and got by Lotem into 1st! He bumped my wide and got by on 5, but I wasn't bothered because he is faster and would have got me later anyway. I continued to take the inside on 13 and that was fine. One lap, I got held up by some Light drivers, therefore I went really slow through 4 and the gap that I had formed between myself and Jakob had vanished in a split second. Right near the end, one of the lights ran wide on 5 and i got by, but Jakob didn't! That got me the race done.

Fun weekend and leading the championship by ~2000 points. May add more videos.
