Cup of tea later I went to investigate. Nothing wrong. I think it was overcome by the heat. I suppose at 92 years old you can forgive it.
Didn't see you there, Alan. Hope you didn't witness my 'Two Wheel Trevor' moment on T1 Thought I might have got away with Mrs. J finding out (she doesn't like me doing things like that) but elder Daughter got the photos!
Never felt quite 'on it' all day. The new gearing makes it a very different car but I still did a PB (just). I think the IoM next week and the need not to break the car was always in the back of my mind. Dan beat me by 0.16 seconds but his wasn't a PB. He admitted to short-shifting on his last run - the IoM factor again. We're double entered on all three hillclimbs there as well so we're looking at the equivalent of 8 events in 8 days.
