Couple updates:
John Powell - Was putting at least 5 sec every stage on the Grp N guys - G.Noel was close, Ryan Champion had problems - did not see him later in the Day. D.Serrao problems galore - broke axle first stage. STI hatch from England running well - Harold running well. Worme and Williams running well in their Imprezas as well.
John unfortunately unseat a tire at the start of one of the evening stages in Canefield which caused him 2 spins and got passed on a stage. Set him back from 1st to at least 4th in Grp. Saw him at the hotel last night and he was definitely feeling it. With some luck today he will claw back some time and maybe a top Grp finish.
Vishal and Ryan are doing us proud. Not sure their official position but they are ran all the Canefield stages great yesterday. Starlet wukkin....sounds fantastic. Not gonna speak to soon but he lookin more at home in the 2WD than the Suby....We will see what happens today.
Definitely one of the largest Trini support section over here in recent years. Pity we don;t have more drivers. Hopefully this will change next year.
On the big boys side - Skeete was....i repeat was in front by a couple seconds and stupidly went through a fence on one of the night stages. Meeke back in the lead and running very very clean. Panton movin, Bird is an absolute pleasure to watch. Perez broke something yesterday on Ainsley big corner - sounded like gearbox. Cost him easily 20 min but drove out on his own. Aston movin like he have a bag of cement in the trunk but the when he hammers it the engine puts the hairs at the back of your neck at full attention....The lotus is as the ladies say simply 'cute'.
Neil Armstrong driving very good. Barry Gale movin. Micey was very loose early on but pulled it together later on. Roger Hill consistent, so is Bourne. Meeke for the win unless he screws up (unlikely) but hopefully the car holds together. Oh Proctor in the S7 driving like the car is a S12...
Betts under pressure from the Automotive Art Starlet which WUKKKIIINNN...
Rum is running low but should hold out today before Harbour Lights.....Duck Pond we go...Peace out Grasshopper is headin out.
