FYI, I went into the final meeting, thinking the Pressure was on Steve, as he was 1 point behind. I thought _he_ had to beat _me._ However, due to the drop-score system. I would drop a 92-point score and he would drop a 90-point score (if we both exceeded them). In other words, he'd automatically gain two points on me! What I didn't realise was, if we were to finish right next to each-other (as happens most often), then I _HAD_ to out-qualify him in the heats and then _HAD_ to beat him in the Final! If we ended with equal points, he'd have beaten me, due to count-back. I'm glad I didn't know that, on the day. Pretty sure I would have folded! 😆
Congratulations, I’ve really enjoyed listening to you journey. You make me want to restart RC racing…. But I was always only average, and would be dreadful now.

Thank you. Go ahead and do it. Racing clubs cater to all skill levels and everyone is welcome.
Really nice bodyshell and colour scheme! Have you done a video on tyre truing? 👍
Thank you. No, I haven't. I don't actually do it!
Well done Mike, who is the ex HPI driver as you went all CIA black ops on all the other names 😂?
Cheers! I'd rather not say, as I haven't asked if the other drivers mind having their names revealed.
