Glad people enjoyed it, the weather was certainly perfect!

Twas me in the white XR2... I found the edge of hot slicks on a few laps through Coram lol
... a very fast corner in the right car!

Got some more mods to do and finally, if I get a spare day I'll fit all the adjustable rear end to it and see what it's like round corners then. Hopefully in time for RSOC national day!

Shame Oulton park didn't return Snetterton's BBQ's either as it would've been the perfect way to round off the evening.

You can't have it all I guess...

PS. Lee, sorry about the passenger ride. I'd eased off ready to pull in and they chequered flagged it - bloody typical! Only been five years now you've been waiting for that ride eh!

CossieRich, shame your day ended like that, I had similar misfortune in October at Snetterton, but looks like engine rebuild time for me! hopefully next year sometime.
if you let me know your email I can send you the hi-res original version.
I am sure I will have some other pics, I will also forward.


I have only put a selection on picasa, so if you cant see a picture of your car let me know and I will have a look through the others.

This is my mate Robs XR2 with PF Dave.

Was a good track session and thanks to Rob for letting me have a couple of drives in his car.

Rob's XR was almost identical to mine in a straight line along Revett! Very impressed.

Gav can you send me the two shots you got of me in hi-res please? Love the shot with the rear wheel up and smoking! LOL (dmoore@unity-media.com)

Corham looks so simple on paper, funny how it's soooo not when you drive it! lol

Cheers!

It is a pain and something I am always thinking about how to make better.

Lots of people have problems with the cooling of the radiator on Westies and mine seems to work fine even on track last night dont see more than 95 max so bit hesitant to move the radiator or disturb its current flow about.

Was you the guy in our garage with the Bike then? Sorry, just clicked and should have introduced ourselves if that was the case!!!!

Stu
yes, that was me. sorry, i should have spoken to you

Dave likewise from me, I was gobsmacked how fast your XR was around Corum!!! Totally missed my lines watching you thinking "Oh my god, surely he cant be going that fast, its gonna high-side him in a minute!!!"

Just gets some GAS installed so that you can stick that on for events like TOTB

Flick that switch when you hit 3rd gear. Will MASSIVELY help with cooling as well at high boost!

i agree,good idea. but where the fook is he gonna put it.its crammed enough as it is

It should'nt be my last track day in it so hopfully we might get out together at some point.

I won't have much of a chance if you go down the route of a bigger turbo though.
