Eastern Circuit
September 2026
This was my first visit since 2022. The day started windy, dry and a little chilly. Practice was,
as ever, cautious but my first run was good, though I fell foul of the ‘no wheels off’ rule immediately
before the finish line so was given an FR. Whilst queueing for T2 it started to rain and by T3 it was
pouring down. During lunch the wind and sun dried out the track and normal service was resumed. T5 saw
me creep into 2nd place, but I was beaten into 3rd on the last run. Disappointed not to achieve a new PB
given favourable conditions.

The weather was cool and dry.

September 2021
The weather was dry, cloudy and warm at 20 degrees. This was my first time at Blyton on ZZS tyres, so a
little bit slower as I achieved a PB of 74.99s on my Kumhos previously.

Our third and last sprint weekend of our socially-distanced, Covid-wrecked season? The weather was very
windy, cloudy with some sun and only 18 degrees.

Round 12 - L7C Speed Championship 2019
This was the second time the Club had been to the Circuit, so a little bit more familiar. Despite the fact that it was a
cold, grey, windy day with occasional sunny spells, the temperature was circa 14-16 degrees, a few Class records were
broken.
It was really pleasing to improve on every run, fairly significantly, resulting in a new PB by 0.79s and a new Class Record
by 0.72s. I was the only entrant in Class 5 this year.

Round 5 - L7C Speed Championship 2018
This is the first time the Club have been on the Eastern Circuit, so it took a while to get used to it. It was a warm sunny day,
hardly a cloud in the sky and 19/20°C.
