A new venue for Ti, RAF Honington, is one of many East Anglian airfields offering motorsport facilities. We opted for the Saturday scrutineering session, at Bury St Edmunds, giving us an easy Sunday morning start. 
No problems with the car, although the uncertainty over noise, would have to wait until MTC1 on Sunday morning.
This would be Tilly's first outing since breaking her arm, very badly, in a trampolining accident, at the end of last year. Although she had had a training session with Eliot, at Silverstone, just to make sure there was no problem with the arm,we were still a little bit apprehensive.
With the horrible weather that we had been having, we were pleasantly surprised to have a sunny start to the day. Format was fairly normal for this type of event, 4 different stages, each repeated once.
Our event ran trouble free until the mid day halt, unlike some, 
this is the Micra of Niall Moroney & Sean Moriarty, which came off second best, when fellow Junior competitor Paul Singh, spun in front of them.There was even a Subaru, that didn't make the first stage, despite being towed up & down the service area .
The afternoon took a bit of a down turn when I took the camera out to try to get a couple of decent action shots of the car. Often difficult to achieve on this type of tarmac event. Lots of the drivers offered some interesting lines at my first spot & on the 5th stage, Tilly was not one of them. 
Neat & tidy, not the quickest but by no means the slowest. Stage 6 however was a different matter. Under pressure from the Escort of Glyn Heighton & Sharon Chilver, 
Tilly got into a bit of a spin. 
I watched, heart in mouth really, especially having seen the result of a similar incident, earlier in the day.
Round the MG went & luckily the road was wide enough for Glyn to take avoiding action. 
I'm quite sure that there were some raised heart rates in the cars 
while that was all going on. Still, they got away with it & of course came in for a little bit of ribbing when they arrived back in service. 
With the car checked over & a splash of fuel added, we fitted the in car camera, 
that we are trialing for use in the Escort that we are taking to Kenya. Tilly having agreed to run with it for the final stage. I asked Eliot if there was another spot worth looking at for photos & having seen the car away, made my way to the suggested series of bends.
This spot featured a touch of gravel, should you be a little off line. 
Once again, some interesting spectating & for the second stage running Tilly got caught out. 
In fairness, the rain which had threatened at times during the day had finally given us a brief visit & the rear tyres were approaching their sell by date. This time no one else was involved, so the heart rate only went up a couple of beats.
With just the final stage to run, I opted not to go out with the camera, third time lucky etc etc, might end up in disaster.
When they returned after the final stage, Eliot asked where I had been, as they had had a very good run, with no spins!!!!!.
It had been a good day all round, only routine service required 
& the weather had stayed fine for the majority of the day.
So another good finish & a second signature towards the upgrade to her licence. The arm had stood up to it fairly well, although a little sore by the end of the day. Our next targeted outing is at the end of May, on the EMCOS Red Dragon Rally.
