Bailey sprint on 7th May 113.46 sec's best I could muster but it was FUN :P

Achieved mainly by my rather irresponsible , bearing in mind I told myself the Alfa was an investment , approach into Madgewick . Flat in 4th , no lift , no braking and a late entry a car's length after the straight turns in . That saw me in a place I wouldn't normally be ------ just where the bump can catch you halfway across the tarmac :o Several feverish steering inputs just kept me on tarmac but a close run thing . The run before that had knocked a bit off my 111.7 sec's 2016 PB at 110 sec's , where I thought all corners were on it's limit , other than Madgewick . I thought that was probably the best I could manage with the Alfa , weighing 1060kgs/150bhp , so threw caution to the wind --- as you do :oops:
