[Jay Payne]

How many day til first race?

131 days I think, sounds a lot

 

[Tony Hunter]

Little bit of work done.



Finding it hard atm, work has been poo, weather poo and I've been ill. Apart from that alls well, should have the engine back from Danny soon, so it will be all hands on deck.

 

[Jonny1*2]

What's wrong with the lump mate, or is it just getting a service? Not been keeping up to date with stuff of late

 

[Cupman29]

I'm fitting a 6 point OMP bolt in cage just now and was thinking that's what you guys are using is it not?

Any chance you could show me some pics of the six mounting point platforms and also any mods you have made from standard like harness bars or door bars?

Sorry if these are in your thread but it's now longer than war and peace. Lol

 

[TimR26]

Did you have to do that for the regs then Tony?

Winter? dont you mean monsoon season, your probably over hydrated with all last years rain, hopefully this year must be drier.

[Jay Payne]

That was followed by this.....

 

[Mr R.]

Was just about to say on the last pict, great door to door racing....



Maybe a little to close...

 

[Jay Payne]

That Fiesta was a missile around Brands.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Look at the castor. Pic nearly blocks it out. Look at the front wheels on the fiesta compared to our clio.

Cracking pics. Fair bit there on your's, the fiestas inside wheel is straight almost, outside looks better though.

You boys ever measure your caster?

 

[Tony Hunter]

Ooo, get you, you'll be worn out the time the season starts.

I'm worn out now and only just got the car out of the lorry after the Birkett Relay - which we won by the way!

Had to get that one in.

Thruxton with the Trucks this year then.

 

[Chip-mk1]

That brands start was certainly a cracker!

How come you were so far down the grid behind those cars in the first place when you had that much more pace?

 

[BIGASH]

Team Burpspeed wiping the floor with everyone in starts and pitstops all season!! Top work guys

Was I right in seeing the newsletter the other week was wrong about the fastest Tintops pitstop was Hammersley at 41 seconds? I'm sure you guys had a sub 40?

 

[mark123]

Nice starts.

Thruxton is only 30 miles from me

Fast circuit though isn't it?

 

[SharkyUK]

Great starts compilation video - cheers.

 

[AdamR]

Top video, thanks! You seem very adept at getting to the inside for turn 1... I need to take note of that.

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

Nice compilation Jay.
