This image sums up the weekend. Fastest in the heats and placed well in the A final. By the time the final was run, Mike was leading the championship by about 100 points.
Favourite to give Super 1 and Motors TV rivals a good race, the challenge was over after the first bend, when Mike was tactically taken off the track (punted from behind). Mike said "This isn't the right way for drivers to win, but it happens far too often. There are 12 laps which is plenty of time to win if you are a good driver. It should be a non-contact sport not banger racing."
Mike lapped at the back of the field pulling away from the field until the end, when he slowed to allow the race leaders to catch him and pass.
Apparently some of the watching crowd were annoyed that they had been robbed of a good race, by bulley tactics, which is sad and to Mike a waste of a good weekend.
For those who enquired, Rob is slowly on the mend after his heart attack and surgery, and hopes to see the Super 1 final at Whilton in a couple of weeks if the weather is warm enough.

Sounds like a really wretched weekend, very sorry to hear that. Hope you can kick some butt next round Mike.
Excellent news Rob's on the mend though, must be maddening not to be there...
