Karls bro ( Paul in the "COSBEAM" ) has mostly been on the handling course all morning but Daz was quite vague about times and such.

He seemed quite gutted- something about starting on the beers now.

Its too late for this event but I can run with a dead alternator using the accuvolt it supplies 15v until the battery drops below 9v. An alternator failure is bad news on a Topspeed run .
