Never try and argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you based on experience.

Did someone miss the asphalt? 
Keep it up Phil and you could get a corner named after you

One slot was enough to satiate the need to throw my SS1 around the course. Slower than last year, but then no effort had been made to improve driver or car since then! I think I managed 4 runs in mine, and made a balls up of the return hairpin every time. If there was a bit more grunt I could try and style it out as a power slide. Having had one tentative run in the Nick K's nimble dart of an SS1 I really am hankering after a powerful fully track oriented SS1.
Cracking fun none the less. Here's the most entertaining run (if we ignore the half a run that ended up in the wrong direction, no need to see that ahem)

Not only that, on the next run I managed to find the throttle cable doesn't go to "11" and snapped...
