Well all I can say is I had some high's, some lows, some big HIGHS and a moment (bang:clown:)
But getting quicker :partyman: wish I could finish without something going wrong :bigcry:
Broke down in qualliy :( then missed 1st race, changing engine. 2nd race dnf after working through from the back of the grid, I didn't tighten oil pressure sensor tight enough and got black flagged with the oil dripping on the exhaust, to be fair I couldn't see or breathe in the car and should have pulled in earlier. Then 3rd race, again back of the grid again and worked my way to 7th only to hit someone into the hairpin, we kept going but I decided to pull up as something wasn't right, there was another smash and the red flag was shown so my 7th stuck :partyman: I got a trophy for most places gained :partyman: it made up for all the other shit we dealt with over the weekend :bigcry:
thanks Curly for that short time at Donny, I've really starting to get confidence in it :beer:

Your on the pace though mate, just remember you have only just started too. Once you get reliability, the podiums will come, Im sure:smokin:

Trouble is reliability doesn't come through luck......it takes raw cash, planning and support team.
You need to plan to be reliable and then it will come.:smokin:

Everything was mint, brand new oil pump from burton's because we thought it worth changing when rebuilding the engine, and pop it just melted :banghead:
I have to say Shim the Mazda teams looked pro, but I think I was just unlucky with a duff pump :bigcry:

It's all coming together now steve ( just need to stop your engine blowing up every round) and it's a good job Lee didn't mind your tap too much as he's a little bit too big too handle!
Just keep it pinned mate :beer:

Thanks Gareth, it's had oil pressure issues since day one, the oil pump just melted with the crank speed, not sure if I just got a duff pump, it has happened to others...
