Good luck Pete,
Great to hear you are going to be doing all the rounds, hopefully entries pick up for this event, you dont want to be combined with the other riff raff.... hahaha

shit how true were these words.
In Race 1 I got a blinder of a start... passed the car directly in front of me, was then lining up the next guy (VK Commo) and as I was about to blast past him on the outside he moved left then right and I had to take evasive action and it put me half onto the grass next to the Grandstand fully sideways... caught the slide... came back onto the track and then went off again at turn 1 and this put me at the back of the pack heading into turn 2. ...well before race end I passed 6 cars to get back to where I was on the grid. God its good to have power... especially down the straight. I can give a 2L car a 5 car head start down the straight and still pass them before the braking marker at turn 1.
Race 2 and & 3 I had slight overheating problems.... turned out to be a faulty radiator cap...
In Race 2 (10 laps) while my car was still going well... I had a 8 lap dice with a VK V8, Toyota Corona and a Nissan Pulsar. (our overall lap time were similar) of course down the straight I would leave the other cars behind me (the two 4 cyl cars by 8 lengths and the VK by about 4) but they would catch me up again by turn 4 and I then had to defend like crazy untill I came onto the straight again and it would repeat it self lap after lap... I had an absolute ball... close racing (8 laps) and not one touch from any one of us.

A full wrap of the EC round can be found in the link below which is an insert in Motorsport News. There is a good shot of my car at turn 3 at EC on about page 9/10.
