Well,

That was all a bit slippy!

Just like to thank the LuckyP Racing Team for a fantastic weekend. Thanks to Mark, Zac, Andy, Lee, Barry, Jack, Steve, Denise and Louise.

We nearly 'ad 'em!!!

A few cheezy grins:

Good end to a great season. :D

See you all in January at that diner dance thing?

PS - How did Bradley Branning get in the picture? :)

Yep - I reckon it was raining diesel!

Sorry to hear you are retiring from racing, I hope you got everything out of the the season that you wanted to. And as we discussed yesterday, I think a few of us will be interested to see how fulfilling track-day driving will seem now that you have done proper racing.

I think the acid test will be in December when your MSA license renewal comes through...

Anyway, with the LuckyP logos, P-racewear, P-gate scandals on the forum, excellent P-cam videos - I think quite a few of us will remember the little P-ness that you brought to the championship. (last time, promise!)

Cheers mate, reespek!

Glad you agree about the grip. I was thinking it was just me!! Especially when Mark was getting 1.50s!

Yep. That was the last LuckyP outing.

I've throughly enjoyed the year. The people, the cars, the racing, the banter, Roque's excellent organisation and enthusiasm. From mid season, I've seen what it's like to have someone look after your car. Whether it was Rogue or an outfit like AW Tracksport, it made all the difference to enjoying the time in car more.

What I've enjoyed most, is identifying personal goals and targets throughout the season, be it a top 10 finish or homing in on certain individuals. I nearly always ended up on the grid around Matt and he became to me, a good yard stick/target to follow or be chased by. His pass on me at Cadwell (Park corner) was a real step change for me. After that, I tried to close down corners (safely) as best I could. John, you started to come into focus towards the end of the season, and after our tangle at Anglesey, you became my new 'challenge' (probably coz you scratched my painwork!!).

So why retire?

Well - here from my Profile:

"What do I want to get out of the year? Well, I want to learn how to drive a mid engined car with commitment through the bends and not tippy toe round like I normally do! If I can bring some learnings back into trackdays, then job done."

......errrm. Job done. Got enought photos to keep an army of grandkids happy, enough footage to make a very nice 2009 compilation vid and enough memories to keep me going for a good few years.

So, thanks for all your help all. Been a pleasure. I'd love to come to a few events next year to watch you all (the only racing I've seen was the last 3 laps at snett last outing :lol: )

Adios amigos,

Lucky Pierre. (check out what is means from the Viz profanosaurous :shock: (university nickname - unfounded I might add))
