The timing chain tensioner failed on bank 2 of the engine so the chain jumped and went slack then chewed itself up and snapped.Meant a complete engine strip down,bent 4 valves and did some other damage,i've sorted it all now though.I'm not scared of using it on track thats why i've got it,wouldn't have it to just polish and drive on sundays it belongs on track

It's not really common but also not unheard of so just one of them things really nothing you can do.Very funny flame grilling jc's hand with the flame out the exhaust,although he wasn't to impressed at the time

cadwell park ! now im sure i can get the two scs track cars there ! one of the favorite tracks done last year !

although is it Ł100 per car then extra for each driver on top ?

or Ł100 a driver ?

i think Ł100 a driver is a bit steep, normal trackdays are around Ł20 extra for each driver after the main one.

the only way to ensure that people dont sign on as second driver and go out in there own car rather than the one they signed on with making there track day Ł20
each driver can bring multipul cars to compensate
no were youre coming from but need to cover my self

with it being Ł100 a driver it prices me out, as there is two of us who share one car so would be Ł200 between us for one car...

i will look in to some way sorting out second drivers cheaper rates but that would stop multipul cars
if you have two cars and i charged Ł100 per car then that isent fair either
i will think and see what i can come up with
