Default escos track day today raf marham with pics

had a track day today at raf marham .
escos was running well allday - long enough straight to acheive top speed of 160mph at 6000 rpm ! - runs greys,t4,swedish inlet, 70 mm throttle body , ported head , 28 psi boost
got through a set of front tyres as well , worn to the cords - bugger!
had a very slight engine fire at end of last session , it was open pit lane at the end of the day so i stayed out for 40 mins with the hope of doing 5 quick laps , 5 cooling down laps , but ended up doing 40 mins of driving like i stole it .
either manifold heat wrap , or oil leak onto down pipe , happened as i parked up after session so luckily i put it out straight away - no damage
drove home fine so will check it out up the workshop in the week
will have to get big brakes next to make the most of the package
