I was a little concerned when I turned up at Eden Park on the Friday afternoon to find the track was very wet and it had a lots of puddles on it.

However on Saturday morning the sun was out and the track was already starting to dry. I did both practice runs on Schumacher Silver spikes all round and tbh I found the car handling to not be that bad and certainly didn't think it was any slower than the cars around me.

By the time I was ready to go out for Round 1, the track conditions were almost ready for yellows but there were still a few damp patches. I took the gamble and put a new set of Schumacher yellows on and cut staggers on the front. I made 2 errors in the run on the 1st and last laps which was annoying but still posted a top 20 time.

The track got dryer and dryer throughout the day and despite not making any setup changes to the car apart from tyres, my times kept coming down. I finally managed a clean run in Round 4 and went 5th in round.

I was very happy with the car all day and I am sure that after a few more meetings and more track time before the next round at Broxtowe it will be even quicker.

I would like to thank Alec Springer (Team C/SMD) for the help in getting the car ready for the national and the loan of his car the week before. I would also like to thank RC Domination for providing me with a sponsorship deal this year which allows me to choose the best cars to run.
