What a fantastic day

[pit bull]

I have just done the FRCT course at Angelsey today, I initially was not looking forward to this, due to the weather forcast, and as expected it was chucking it down, and the high winds coming in off the irish sea, After going out with the instructors in the saloon car (Ford Puma, which are skitish in the wet) Excellent instruction from Ray Grimes (can`t thank him enough), It was then time to go out in the FF1600 singel seater 4 at a time plus pace car, driven by Tom champion, I earnt pole position in car No. 7 (lucky not this time) After getting a good start keeping behind pace car (which was also another FF1600) I developed a problem, the car kept cutting out, so had to retire, turns out it was so wet that there was an electrical problem, so Ian Smith said that I would be able to have another go later, after my 1st session they decided to bring all the car into the dry,( I end up doing marshal duties by helping pushing the cars into the garage ) when the cars were dryed and the set up changed cause everyone (except me) was spining off all over the place, I was able to go out with the session restarted, in NO. 7 again, kept my pole position and with the conditons getting worse I managed to keep pace with Tom Champion and also lap my fellow trainnees, to say I enjoyed it lousy weather and all, is an understatment, I was FANTASTIC, I would advise any marshall, to do this course, I have a far better undestanding of what a driver goes through in apalling conditions, and how theres a change that they may not see a flag, because half the time I couldn`t see the front of my car, let alone the track, A BIG THANKS to all the Instructors and staff at Trac Mon
