A great race until half a lap to go when I had to go off track to avoid a small crash just in front of me. Finished last as a result of those that finished

Next stop Sutton circuit races at Curdborough on Weds, anyone else doing it? There's 50spaces so pretty sure u can enter on day

Depends on work for me.

If you do race Curborough, make sure you stay near the front from the start. Every time I've raced it the break has always got away. There's usually a head wind up the finishing straight so if you're chasing to close gaps you'll have your work cut out. Also there's a sort of 360 deg loop up the one end and if you're too far back you'll be sprinting like mad every lap to get back on.

Good circuit though and normally hard races.
