WEAVER COMEBACK BRINGS CATCHPOLE TO THE FINISH.After a season of disappointments, reliability was restored as Phil Weaver brought the Catchpole No.77 car home in 14th place at Rockingham, in the penultimate Days of Thunder meeting of the year.The Corby based team had been busy over the last month, rebuilding the car after Duncan Gray's huge shunt in the last round. "It was a freshly built car and was out for the first time in Friday's testing. It felt good and the aim was to try and finish both races and stay out of trouble. I have not even tinkered as the team have kept the driver firmly in line," said the Southampton based driver.Starting from 16th on the grid. Weaver settled into a steady pace in the opening laps of race one and began to catch newly crowned World Stock Car Champion Peter Falding for 17th place. But rather than gain places the pace suddenly slowed, Irishman Malcolm Clein went by and Skid Carrera began to close and the pitlane beckoned after 13 laps. "I started off OK, but then the handling began to go. It was just like being on ice. It go so bad I decided to pit and let them strip the diff ready for the second race. We knew something was wrong, but just couldn't find it," he explained.At the start of race two Weaver had settled into 15th place, when seven laps under caution preceded a red flag and restart. As rivals continued to fall by the wayside Weaver started to establish himself in 13th place and once again had Clein in his sights. Further cautions followed, but the main objective stayed firmly in Phil's mind. Championship leader John Steward came by to claim 13th with a couple of laps to, but 14th was secure for the Catchpole crew. "The car was still a long way from being right, we need to go back to basics with it. We have made progress, with spring adjustments and handling, but that was one of the hardest races I have ever done," he concluded.
