Just a few paddock shots from yesterday's meeting

Lovely sunny day.

Very "green" and slippy track after a few days of heavy rain (or so the experts said!?)

The bogey times were quite safe.

Here are some track shots courtesy Derek Hibbert track photographer

 

So what set up do I need to stop that inside rear wheel from lifting and spinning up on the bends ?

LSD and thicker front anti roll bar.

Hi Hamish,

 

Interesting to see the neat lines you took compared with me. Definitely a case of turning in too early for me on some of the corners and running very wide. Hence my first timed run being disallowed for exceeding track limits. Stupid rule - by my reckoning, if they provide tarmac on the outside of a corner you can use it. The white line was a country mile from the edge of the track. I reckon I covered twice the distance compared with you. That's why you were quicker than me!! (by such an infuriatingly small amount!!).

Hey John from someone who is second in the champs I think your driving is just fine !!!????

Well done Bob Barnard for being 1st ????????

 

I have looked into trying to stop the car leaning thus a better roll bar (on the cheap) and was recommended one from a Triumph spitfire. I can't make it fit especially with the bumper irons.

Need some pointers as to what suitable brackets are available. ??

LSD was also suggested very much a luxury item at over a grand ????

Shelsely next for me

Very kind of you Hamish, but you didn't mention that I have done one more event than most at the moment. I will get overtaken.
