We finally had a rain-free weekend at Hampton! The car was running well and I managed to qualify on pole and then win all three races 8) . That's my first clean sweep for the season and it also bodes well for the rest of the championship.

The next round is this weekend (9th & 10th) at Manfeild and I'll be doing the 1 hour enduro too - should be good fun.

Vids:

Race 2 - reverse grid. I started off the back and had to work very hard to get to the front on the last lap (note: contact at 10:30 in the vid).

Race three - off the front with a busy start!

So I ended up winning the season with something like 14 race wins out of 18 races, pole position in 4 of 6 rounds and a lap record at every track.... Not too bad for a first summer season!

Here's a vid of my last lap at Taupo:

And a few pics from the last 3 rounds:

And the tangle up with a Series one RX7 at Manfeild:

Since this season went so well, I might finally give SS2000 a go in the AE86 next season.... (SHOCK, HORROR).

FotoCD sent me a few more shots from last season. 

 

This one is my favourite:

I ran it at Round 1 of the Manfeild winter series with limited success... A spin in each of the first two races made it interesting! 
 

 

Dad leased it out for round two, so for now it can totter around the track and pay for it's own upkeep while I spend more time on the 86.
