Was very good fun, got a bit busy at about 11:40 didn't it!

 

[Tony Hunter]

Felt good Martin.
Freds done a good job on it, and Paul completely re mapped it from scratch.

I like a bit of fun.

 

[C l a r k e y]

Damn.........that looked fun.
Well done all.

Can't wait to watch

Race 2
This more like it, much fun to be had!!

@Tony Hunter - mate that race was fantastic!! Only just got around to watching it, but wow!

On another note, I read what you're saying about the Ph1 but im not listening

 

[Tony Hunter]

I know mate, it will be a shame.

But every dog has it's day, and I thinks Burps just about done now.

Race 2 was great fun

 

[Russ_16v]

I cant believe how many close shaves there were! Loved your zigzag overtaking the Hyundai coupes too!

 

[Tony Hunter]

We were like the red arrows, he did say he wondered wtf was happening!

 

[Cub.]

Brilliant driving from all in the second race, cars looked nice and evenly matched.

Was like touring cars. Epic work chaps.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Thanks Olive, it was great fun.
I enjoyed all the ducking and diving, bobbing and weaving, didn't like the going off bit, but hey, you have to have a go.
James, Andrew and myself really enjoyed it. Looking forward to Combe this weekend.

 

[marc1330]

FairPlay looked epic fun Tony !!
Would of loved to have popped up to combe this weekend and have a gander, but I'm destroying my body on a Stag do :tired:!!

 

[Tony Hunter]

A few pics from the weekend.

The end.
Suspected clutch failure.

 

[Cub.]

Nice photos. Shame about the clutch.

We need to catch up soon, and I need to pick my ePAS

 

[SharkyUK]

@Tony Hunter - it was good to see you at the weekend mate, although it was gutting to see you pull off to the infield just shy of finishing race 2. It was also great to see just how helpful the drivers and their 'crews' are when competitors (friends) need assistance. I hope the damage is nothing more serious than clutch failure.

Apologies for the spamming but here's a selection of photos from the day:

At least you were faster than that Suzuki carry...

 

[LeeRS]

Race 2 looked great fun. Looking forward to oulton on the 3rd now

Can we have a bit more of that fast and furious overtaking please @Tony Hunter

You are my hero.

 

[sonny172cup]

Its really good to see this car back out on the grid and seemed ot be going very well. I didn't finish R2 so didn't know you had a problem til after I saw you in the paddock.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Well thats it for Big Burp in ph1 spec.
Oulton is now over and out, bit of a mixed weekend, but had some great fun in the process.
Shame we had a little coming together in race 1 on the 1st corner! But these things happen, plus, it was my corner and I don't back out.
Kevin had a good view of it all.

Manage to get back past a few, but the pace was blistering and the n/s front was toeing in 7mm! turned in a treat lol.

Russ was the man of the day, kept John Whelan and his rapid 306 honest, but the Irishman was on fire.

Lots of cable ties, and a little kicking saw the car ready for race 2, thanks to Mike for his help (with the kicking)

He didn't mention the rugby (not much he didn't)

Race 2

This was a slight procession really, the top 3/4 cars moving away from us slightly, leaving the rest of us playing follow the leader, each waiting for somebody else to make a mistake.
Mr Whelans rapid 306!
lapping at 1.56

Don't get me wrong, this was far from boring, we were lapping in the 1.58s, the fastest I've ever been around Oulton, so was good fun.

Simon in the Saxo was having an indifferent day for a change, but with 12 wins this year, I think he's allowed one off day, but we were on the hunt after another fast 205, which we both eventually caught and passed through Nickerbrook.
Me and Mr Jones

The 3 of us were tied together for the rest of the race, and managed to avoid one another to the line.
Great days racing as always with the FRENCH TROPHY TRACK ATTACK boys.

Brilliant season guys.
Bye bye Burp

 

[NorthloopCup]

All good things must come to end Tony. Bring on burp version 3?!

 

[C l a r k e y]

Shame we had a little coming together in race 1 on the 1st corner! But these things happen, plus, it was my corner and I don't back out.

Really, we would never have guessed :smile:
Enjoyed this year, we missed a few, which was a shame.

 

[Cub.]

When's the planned weekends of BBQ and race car building?

Looks like another fun weekend!

 

[sonny172cup]

Nice one Tony, gutted I wasn't on the grid with you guys

Are you at Snet?

 

[Tony Hunter]

Yes Sonny, in the pug though.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Unless we haven't started stripping Burp. Then who knows what I'll bring. Keep you guessing :wink:

 

[sonny172cup]

Yes Sonny, in the pug though.

Might as well take the Clio mate surly give it one last Swansong at the last event of the season.

 

[Apg100]

I think I've missed something here. Why you getting rid of the Clio?

 

[Keith185]

Sad times that its the end of the Ph1, but looks like it was a nice send off overall excluding the obvious, sure it would make an epic hollywood film anyway

 

[Adam G]

I think I've missed something here. Why you getting rid of the Clio?

Reshell into a Cup

 

[msa197]

I think I've missed something here. Why you getting rid of the Clio?

Too many dents. Lol

And my reason new shell is blue and more shades of blue than white!

 

[Tony Hunter]

I think I've missed something here. Why you getting rid of the Clio?

Actually fancy 400bhp+, might go Jap.

 

[Tony Hunter]

I might of lied a little.
Big burp is still stuck on the trailer, Snett is looming faster than an express train, work is still mental, and I havent got my new shell back yet!
So he might as well get one last airing, Snett has got some long straights, and the pug is flat in 5th in a few places with me cursing as we go along at a afternoon drive pace.

We'll see on the Friday before I leave, as to whats on the trailer at the time.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Burpspeed version 3 is on it's way!!!
This has got to be ready by the 15th Feb! Got a day at Silverstone.

 

[JP83]

Shiny!

 

[Russ_16v]

Finished it yet Tony?

 

[Tony Hunter]

Finished it yet Tony?

Thought you were going to give me a hand, in exchange for bits?

 

[MarkCup]

Go Hunter, go Hunter, go Hunter...repeat ad infinitum :smiley:

 

[Tony Hunter]

A few more.

 

[Russ_16v]

yes I do need to come see you!

 

[imprezaworks]

Awesome. Can't wait for you.
