Guest ntc Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Excellent days racing,well done to all and that No1 Tr5 unbelievable he needs some competition Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stephen cooper Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Fantastic day out, some really good close racing across the whole day. Highlight being Mark Campbell in the TR5 who deserves a medal for winning the 40 min race, then swapping his broken diff in less than half an hour and back out again to win the Triumph race. Well done to all! Ps I don't think the driver of that Dino will be sleeping too well tonight after rolling _over_ the tyre wall! Yikes! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave McDonald Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Brilliant days racing. I don't think the recovery crew member that the Ferrari hit will be sleeping too well either. Dave McD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john.r.davies Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 We all want to send our thanks for such an excellent race, and our very best wishes to Mark Field of Jigsaw, who was too ill to come along, and to Jo. Back on your feet soon, Big Man! JOhn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alanwcoote Posted August 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Hi Guys Well if you wernt there, you should have been. Yet another excellent day and Jigsaw Invatation Race. A big slap on the back to all paticipants ( except Mark Camball cos it would hurt him ),graet banter in the pits. Congratulations to Mark Camball on his wins ,great driving in a stunning car and well done Dave Mac after all the trails and tribulations onwards and upwards after the second place in the Jigsaw. Hope all got home ok, I had a spirited journey there and back ( 2 hours each way ) with no speedo so expecting a letter in the post soon. Neil has a novel method now of engaging overdrive ,which can be a bit hairy at times but is looking for sponsers to perfect the method, it involves driving over the cats eyes and shouting Get in you bast@@d I dont think it will catch on personnaly.

Rob Roodhouse Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Great work by the Mallory Park team and the CSCC to keep the meeting on track after such a momentous accident with the Dino....well done and thanks to Mark and Jo for laying on another great race for us....best race of the year for me so far. Thanks to all the TR supporters that made the effort to come along and watch...it really is much appreciated...(it should be noted that we even had a presence from a chap from Australia who races a TR6 and GT6 over there, both hugely developed cars)...roll on Jigsaw 2011! If anyone has any pics or vid clips then please let us know. Cheers Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave McDonald Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 The Australian chap told me his races cost $A300 - for a 2 day weekend meet with 3 races each day - all for $A300. Yes that's right $A300 for 6 races. Eat your heart out. Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roy53 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 I agree well done to Mark especially his 2 pit crew i thought that to change a diff in 20 to 25 mins was an impossible task but they did it,hats of to them.But the highlight fo the race was the battle between Rob Cowing & Dave McDonald they were as close as one car length for the whole race changing places and i beleave no contact up to 1 1/2 laps from the flag when Rob had to let him by as his engine went sick thus depriving us of an amazing finish,who would it have been?no idea. Ther was also a close 3way fight going on detween the standard engined TR6 &TR5s of Eddie Driver,Neil Revington & Dominic Spicer which i bet they enjoyed.well done to them and all others who took part.Get well soon Mark.

Roy Chamberlain Neil indeed had a great race, I was there as his support, not that it was needed, fortunately the car went through the day without a hitch, which was good seeing as the engine had just been rebuilt a few days prior. My duties fell more to photographing and videoing. I hope to get these cut into some kind of montage for our next newsletter. Well not the next one, that's just about to be sent out, but the next next one So look out for it! http://www.revingtontr.com/shop/collection_display.asp?CID=1097 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Celia and Ian ( Peerless) Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Just like to add my thanks to Mark and Jo Field for an amazing job well done in organising the 3rd Jigsaw Triumph race. They propbably made a slight loss this year but inspite of that and poor Mark being very ill they are planning a possible second race next year with perhaps a different interesting format at another good venue. They are quite the nicest people and remarkable in their enthusiam. I am sure all who raced at Mallory will continue to support them but anyone else out there with a racing TR, or Triumph based car who hasn't come out to play please do so and keep this super race going. Good luck and get well soon Mark, best wishes to Jo. Celia (had to race the Warwick as Peerless not ready!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MikeHughes Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Check the Blue Book Jon.Page 194. You do not need a full rollcage now providing a line drawn from the top of the bulkhead to the top of the rollcage clears the drivers helmet. Having said that I still feel safer with a full rollcage.

OK Mike. I'll take you word for it. Though do you really think that would be the case in Robs car, I can't see it, I think the line would be through his neck Yep, I would not fancy racing without a front cage again.
