Had a good day testing, in wet dry conditions

Last run of the day spent 1/2 an hour on it and came away happy especially with my Michelin intermediates that operated on a soaking track and weren't bad when the track rapidly dried.

Checked the color of the plugs plus the compression and all is good

Saturday and Sunday in the CTCRC BOSS/Thunder series racing under new race number #787

Saturday:-
Qualifying 10.20
Race 4 15.05pm

Sunday:- Race 13 - 14.40pm

Nice Clive.
Are you not using the Extreme Tyres anymore?
Nice number!

No, got chucked out of the series that required MSA approved "road" tyres, now only using slick and wet race tyres

Rubbish race☹️ Car all OK 👍 Just no grip so going home to get another set of tyres for race this afternoon!

Just found out what happened.
Very bad crash and a marshall has lost his life. Very sad indeed.
These guys and girls give up there spare time for racers and track dayers to enjoy our sport. Unsung heroes of our sport. Rip.

That's awful news, so sad that this can happen to a marshal volunteering their time.

Spoke to Clive.
Racing has resumed today and race scheduled for 14.40. So log onto tsl at 14.30 as running ahead atmo.
Maybe a livesteam from the racingbeat youtube channel if Philip works his magic so log on there too.
Clive hoping for a 3 sec a lap improvement on some match staggered special tyres days of Thunder style.
Good luck Clive.
