john.r.davies Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 All, I hope to be out at Donington with the CSCC that weekend. Forecast is hopeful, dry and some sun, but cold. Two TRs, Graham Wilson and Roy Chamberlain in my grid (Swinging 60s Race 2), with a Spitfire in Race one. Practice at 1055, Race at 1540. I have some spare tickets if you like to PM me.

Conradski Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 Hi John, I'm going to Mallory Park for the TR sprint on the Sunday. I'm staying about 30 mins from Donington thé night before, so if you still have a spectator ticket I'd like take your kind offer up. Best Conrad Quote Link to post Share on other sites

john.r.davies Posted March 25 Author Report Share Posted March 25 And the results were..... As shown, there were a LOT of DNFs, including me, I'm sorry to say. A loud knock and loss of power led me to retire after only my second lap. Turns out that a bent push rod had caused another to go walkabout, hitting the rocker cover every other revolution! Hope you're happy with your result, Roy. Given the conditions, wet, cold track, I was with my practice time. The forecast was right about "cold"! That's not window glass, it's hail!

roy53 Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 That's a strange one John. I had one brake at the test day [rocker] . Do you think that the 2 are related ? Although next to each other i cannot see how they would contact. Roy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roy53 Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 For those wishing to watch, the race is on youtube. DONNINGTON 23rd starts about 3hrs in. Later there is a classic K race for fia cars in which there are 2 TR4s racing. Roy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
