I ran the car quite low to generate better handling, unfortunately compromising jumping stability, but it was the best compromise to a quick lap time for me.

Round one finished: 26
Round two finished: 22
Round three: Snapped an axel after landing awekwardly
Round four: Looking set to plant it in the C final at least but the unforgiving track spoilt that after landing off the big double jump and obliterating several parts on the front.

Pole in the D Final would be the besti could manage with my two runs.

Got out to a very healthy lead and pulling .5 of a second a lap on second place. Came round to start my 8th lap with around a 4 second lead and stopped coming through the underpass, that put paid to my strong finish. Upon closer investigation a stone had got through my cooling slots in the body and jammed the transmission! DOH!

So a weekend of many ups and downs but still a good showing for the SB and my first time on dirt with it!
