With six cars in Class Two still in the hunt for end of season honours the racing was likely to be competitive if not cut-throat. Given the fast nature of the Spa circuit and its unpredictable whether, the weekend was never going to be dull. It didn’t disappoint! Qualifying
A damp track greeted us on Friday afternoon for our qualifying session. Hoping the track might dry out we went for an intermediate set-up, enabling to put in a fast lap late into the session. However, conditions worsened and we were likely to escape unscathed after a full 360 exiting Eau Rouge in traffic. Many others were not so lucky, and the barriers we had so fortunately avoided claimed several victims, the last of which, Gary Duckman, caused the red flag to be produced. We returned to the pits were the EMC guys adjusted the suspension to suit the wetter conditions better. We then went back out for three further laps, which proved to be the quickest of the session. Thinking we had done reasonably well, we were pleased to find that we had qualified third in class, notably quicker than some of our nearest rivals.
