At 8 seconds you can see I get a Mark Webber style start and make no ground. Not terrible news as someone usually spins at first corner.
24 seconds I tip toe around trying to leave room where I can.
30 Secs I try to dodge the Lotus and turn into Madcap a bit. All seems ok he straightens and drives off. I continue to tip toe around on primes and keep it on the track.
1:12 I brake to late and slide off the track. Sure I am off the track but I can’t believe how fast Jacko passes me and the dude in front of me… I think it was Chasty. Jacko has super traction and corner speed.
1:24 I get to wide under brakes and have a half spin in front of someone who has no where to go and gives me a push, I end up bobbling along into an already spun Rasingh.
1:43 I get a good run on Rasingh who seems to run wide in turn 14. I come out of the corner better and he comes off the grass and somehow pulls away from me down the straight – Go figure.
1:57 I brake for the corner and Rasingh seams to speer of the road like he has had a punt from behind. I feel bad for him and try and explain that I did not punt him and my video shows I didn’t punt him.
2:37 I brake a tad late and lose the back end into turn 4. Rasingh makes up some ground.
2:50 Perhaps I am going a little slow but in my opinion that does not matter if the guy in front of you brakes you need to be aware of him. Anything to add here anyone?
(Sir Nige I did the exact same thing to you in China which I am sorry for and I will post that vid when I get a chance.)
After that shunt I catch up with Rasingh nearly but have a spin on my own and that is pretty much all she wrote for that race. The rest is boring except for where I get lapped. Rasingh drops out so I end up 8th anyway.
Bit of an oxymoron to be honest. And if I am honest this UFC was not one of the most exciting of all time. It may have been the loss of the originally scheduled title fight, the lack of action packed highlight filled fights, following to closely after an exciting origin game or maybe it was just me. Judging by the sound of some of the boos I heard maybe it is one of the others.Booing is something I have never quite understood or gotten the hang of. Sure you can be disappointed in a performance but to stand there and boo until you are blue in the face adds nothing. Again maybe that is just me.

I think the following photo of the Snowman best represents how all Notasmartman NRL tipping competition members felt after this weekends upsets of DEATH!!
Having a second look at the Leaderboard perhaps it is just me who struggled. How some of you tipped 5 or even 4 correctly leaves me wondering what hacks you are all using.
Anyway here is Toothless Tony leading the way.
PS. Eastside Bo, who are you? You are up near the top of the leaderboard and I don’t know who you are. Best make yourself known to me or I will be kicking you from the comp.
