A big weekend coming up at Curborough – I’ve entered the British Motorsport Marshals Club Midland Region Sprint on Saturday, then it’s the Club Sprint on Sunday. It’s only a small entry in my class – four cars – in the Marshals Sprint, but I’m really looking forward to the competition. It’ll also, hopefully, give me some useful practice for the Club Sprint.

The entry for Class 1 in the Club Sprint is great – eighteen cars – so the competition is looking really strong.

Matthew seems to think I’m better than him at Curborough, but he’s very capable of getting a really quick time there. It’s all going to be very weather dependent – he’s much better in the wet. In the Club event last year on a wet track I had a spin in my first timed run and went round like ‘Driving Miss Daisy’ on the second, scared of going home without posting a time at all. It meant that I came just about last, and ended up with a score deficit that I never made up in the rest of the season. I wasn’t the best company on the drive back to Lincolnshire!

If it stays dry I might just be in with a chance!
