No problem,good to see you,Nick and Tom.
What do you expect,prancing around in just a shirt.Great to see everyone again today, shame Sarah has informed me im not allowed to build a race car though. Booo
Will definitely have to lower my seat though, great driving position in the burpspeed bus.
Jay/Tony, sorry we legged it after the race, i was blooming freezing!!!
Never,you got one didn't you.
172 Race Car
Ive just got in. Me, Dan, Dave and Tim went for a curry in a small town near the circuit.
What a bloody long day. Was worth it tho, Brands is a great circuit for racing. Report is written (on way home as Bomber drove my family bus back) so just got to wait for it to be published on Burpspeed.com and will post on here.
Qualified 10th
Finished 10th (8th in class)
Car could of been better, we will get there, set up still not right. We both had some epic battles tho.
thanks to everyone for coming along and enjoying the day, I think we had the biggest fan club there

Was good to come and see what goes on in the background rather than just the racing, cheers Tony and Jay for giving Ollie, Tom and I a good insight as to what needs doing etc. Its a lot more than you think!
Well done with the racing also, did well seeing as the car was a 'handful'! There wasnt much if any pacewise between you guys and the front runners which is good!
Cheers

Roll on Donny....

Hi Tony/Jay
Looks like a good days motorsport , how did the diff perform ? do you think its made much difference to your lap times ?
Mines on its way from Quaife and managed to get it done in a week instead of the 2-3 quoted after a bit of chasing

made a massive difference. Took me most of quali to get used to putting the power down earlier. Where as normaly you had to wait on the exit of druids, now its much sooner and harder you can get on the gas. You cant just mash it but its made a big difference.
We know it will be quicker in the long run. we need to make it all work now, a few issues to sort but we are pleased that its not a head scratcher. We were quite competative and beat a few quick cars but had trouble with some of the lower classed stuff that (in theory) we should be beating. Theres another 0.5-1sec per lap around brands in the car somewhere. We just need to find it

Cheers Jay glad your happy with it, does it cut understeer and if so have you had to adjust your set up to suit ? pm if you prefer
I was just thinking if it does I may need to remove my rear ARB as it may be too tail happy as it caught me out on my last event.

1.2 shell, Stock internals, Jenveys etc
Look closely and its the biggest shed you have ever seen, (Tom JMS are you listening?)
but its so quick. he saw we bought a diff and went and got one too. Finished fitting it Saturday night and then span it first lap out of the pits
We had them beat at Mallory until the alternator gave up
