HAD an ok day at Donno
Got up late
Fitted the big silencer in a rush at home to save putting it on at track
Pushed the car out of garage thought it was a bit hard to push... Had ran over my new mobile that the missus had bought me crushing the sceen...
On the way the egts and back pressure were going too high due to the stupid exhaust extension so had to back the boost off to 1.8 bar and put a bit more overrun fuelling in to help it cool down
On the way to Donno lost the big silencer off the back on the motorway
Had to turn around and get it off the hard shoulder
Still red hot burnt my hand...
Got to Donno to late for morning session so had to wait till after dinner
I went out in the beginers class as i have never driven the circuit before .
The craner curves are awesome couple of slow laps to warm everything up
Saw Porkie comming up behind moved over and thought he knows the track well i will tag along with him
Slowing down for some corners dont know what there called and im starting to loose the brake pedal and rapidly catching the back of porkies sky bus
Not wanting to stove his car in i left a gap hopeing the brakes would come back
Feeling confident again started to put my foot in and a Zoo rs2000 holds me up from the pits all the way down crainer ( im sure marco was driving but wasnt sure as it looked like he had no hair )
He put his hand up and gave me a wave well i think it was a wave.
Went under the bridge up the hill and just about to come up to the corner for the main straight and FUCK brake pedal to the floor
Did a bit of pebble dashing to the car just missed the wall and sat there for a minuite and had a castella( if there had been a bar there i would have had a pint )
Got back onto track came down the pit straight and was black flagged for NOISE
god knows why
Any way got back into pits and the pads are on the metal
You know what that is dont ya
PISS POOR PREPERATION,
Was a laugh though need some more time at donno awesome track
I will be back
I hope Porkie had a video camera
