Auto Complete Mini at the Dezzi Raceway
It was a late decision to enter the Auto Complete Mini in the final round of the KZN Road Racing Club Historics championship at Dezzi Raceway on Saturday 5 November 2022 and what an “interesting” day it was where we were struggling for front end grip and therefore with understeer. Somehow though we pulled a rabbit out of the hat by qualifying 1st in class, then a 1st in class in race 1 and a 2nd in class in race 2 after a hard fought battle with Dave Armstrong in his Escort. Those big, slick-shod cars are just too quick for the level of grip offered by my semi-slicks. I set my quickest ever lap time around Dezzi Raceway though so I guess it can’t be that bad.
