Dingy,
These projects take time as you well know. May have something to worry you with at Croft. Also Standing quarter for m3 13.something.....doesn@t really matter about decimals....Still better than your collection of 14's this year!

Nicely done Dingy!

Glad you had a relatively trouble free day, and the box stayed together.

How's the car through Craner?

I always thought santa pod was straight. Does mapping improve grip?

12.8 snapped throttle cable.You sure you tightened your wheel nuts as that can lead to the wheels pointing in the opposite direction.

I broke into a sweat - does that count? It was fooking hot with the heaters on full to keep everything cool .

Daz,
I see they have rescaled 1 bar now - and there's me thinking it was 15psi ish . Top banana photos of the Karl Norris train - choo choo !

Steve,
You nearly span deliberately, cos you knew I was gonna do you down the straight .

I was pleased with old Peggy - 1429Kg of lard on Konis and road tyres and 400bhp, she did well .

Melted the wiring to the solonoid on the starter at lunchtime - which resulted in bump starts for the rest of the day, lost 1st gear which meant 2nd gear rolling starts and it drank its way through 86 litres of fuel in 102 miles - which is something like 5.4 mpg

From the pit wall Mike R's Esc Cos looked to be really motoring.That Nissan 200 of John Fwas passing loads of Cossie's too.And now we all know that Karls Cossie was running low boost would explain why it didnt look that impressive.Respect to to spenner for changing a head gasket during liunch in the pits!!!

On saturday I broke one of those thingymajigs under the car in the middle...GEARBOX - that's it.
Shonky Bicknell and Co. whizzed another one in from JC Motorsport and I was flying again on Sunday afternoon, although taking it a bit easy in 3rd gear !

Big thanks to the lads who helped out
Rainbum - you need a MOVEOVER sunshield, mate . Karl saw me coming thru craner, and moved over at the old hairpin, no worries
MAKEOVER might be better for you tho' - that turtleneck sweater makes you look like you should be on daytime tv!

Nige and unless that was timed on the one session I went out as lead car, then I NEVER had a clear track .

Newts,
What happened to you in that session where I went past you like you were stuck in second gear?
