Burpspeed Version 2: Race Car Build



  182cup & 172 racecar
I am now fighting with myself whether or not to take big burp out for Brands.
Seeing it sat on the trailer, it's so tempting, realistically I haven't got the time to sort all the little bits out, plus I would suspect it'll scare the s**t out of me to start with, mmm.

Go on, you have to! obviously after you've clean it.

Lol.
I haven't got any spare time, like 7 days to strip everything and get it to a point that it'll be worth taking out.

Thanks for offer James, but we are working dawn till dusk Mon - Tues, doing aeration, dressing etc etc on the greens.
Time is short ad we gave have a massive charity day on Friday, and I won't be there!

This weekend we have all been out for a little play in Clarkey's backyard, Brands Hatch.

Very eventful day so far, quali my NEW driveshaft broke, a big thankyou to Russ Thomson for going to a local euro car parts for me.

Got that fixed just in time for race 1.
After a nasty smash on the start line, we carried on with a re start.

Half a lap in, the gear lever comes off in my hand around Druids. Now I like a challange, but come on!

On the grass, I now see the plastic cap thingy has popped off, pushed it back on, and we have gears. Off I set half a lap behind.

Only thing I could do was go for fastest lap for class D. This I managed in the 7 laps we completed. Happy days.

Race 2 will be fun, starting from the back.
Look out, here I come.

Race 2 was an all out attack, passed 16 cars in the end, finished 12, plus got into the 59's. Lost a headlight lense and a wing mirror cover, but it was worth it.

All in all, a good day, clean racing by all and everybody went home happy.
Tric Trophy rules.

It was Andy, last time I had so much fun, was at Cadwell, after I span on the 1st lap and ended up last.
I think that was a 3rd place overall in the end

I had a pair of driveshafts in the lorry - came off an old 106 stockhatch that somebody stole off me - why didn't you ask?
 
Good stuff. Didn't stop around to see race 2 but it sounds like fun!

Nice to see people helping out to get you going again after quali as well.

We did have a walk around the paddock at lunch time, but you looked like you had your hands full so didn't stop to chat.
