Midsummer Caerwent Stages 26.6.11 5TH Event Of 2011
as we lined up for the first stage we noticed that only a few of the adults had returned back to the service area.We were then told that ss1 was cancelled due to a accident.
a hour later and were lining for ss2 we noticed that the sun had come out which ment driving for 15minutes competetively with the sun beating down on me would be very challengeing. once i arrived back to the service area after ss3 i had a look at the results and saw that i was already in the top 10 which was amazing. after lunch we were lining up for ss4 and already in the top 10 my aim for the day was just to keep pushing hard but not so much i would make mistakes. ss6 and 7 were two of the hardest stages of the entire day as they were the longest both measuring in at a staggering 10.5 miles. Before i left services to tackle SS6&7 I checked the results currently i was sat 3rd i also checked the stage diagrams and sore that there were a few more straights which ment the more powerful cars could pick up some seconds they may have dropped on previous stages Unfortunatly in the quarry section of the stage we met another competitor who had, had an accident but was ok but we dropped a few seconds having to maneuver around him. After I'd completed SS7 i had a look at the results and to my amazemunt i'd only dropped 8 second to the more powerful cars.
my overall finish for this event was 5th which is my best result to date. It also ment that i was now placed fourth in the overall championship leaderboard
