Barry Sheene race 2 & 3

[sbutler]

Well got to the track & it was wet. We were the second race out so things were a bit dodgie.
Anyway because of the race 1 drama I had to start dead last on the grid.

Race 2::Lights went out & away we went! I was going pretty steady & worked my way up to 17th by lap 1. Then while comming down the straight at full noise my bloddy zipper on my suit unzipped. I thought will I keep going & risk it, Or pull into the pits. With the track still pretty damp & being on slicks I came in. Gabbed a guy in pit lane to fix it & went back out.
Did a half a lap & the race was red flagged. The Creek must hate me??
So I was classed as a finisher. But again start from the back of the grid. Not happy Jan.

Race 3:: I thought here we go again, what will happen this time?
Started dead last,[Again] Got another blinder of a start & finished 6th!! I rode the wheels of the old clunker, & it was charging along very well.
On the last half a lap it dropped onto 3 cylinders again!!! So that was the best I could do.

Anyway Im over it for a while now. I need to get to the bottom of these fuel problems. So It'll be getting stripped & I'll be going through everything.[for the hundredth time.]
See ya again. Steve.__________________________________________________
