I was looking out for you to get shots of the big yellow beastie - seem to have got some half decent shots of most other things in the races on sunday but was gutted not to see ya going round

Al Weyman · 3 Apr 2006, 10:07 (Ref:1568858)

We'll be back, trust me:-)

R59 · 3 Apr 2006, 12:40 (Ref:1568982)

So what are you going to run on the 15th at Brands Al? The black beastie?

Rob.

Al Weyman · 3 Apr 2006, 12:49 (Ref:1568993)

Yes Rob, thats what I was always intending to run, got a proper motor in that one and it is a lot lighter, too light for the CTRCC championships apart from Classic Thunder which I am going to enter it at Thruxton if it goes OK at Brands. I mean I doubt even that car will be that competitive but the old tub would definitely not be not with the engine that is currently in it in any case.

Keith R · 3 Apr 2006, 14:33 (Ref:1569103)

I managed about 5 laps of qualifying when the engine decided it'd had enough

. The big end went! So I travelled 170miles for 5 laps and then went home again! That's the often harsh world of motor sport for you!

I'll hopefully be back with a vengeance at Mallory, with a re-built, more powerful engine.

Al Weyman · 3 Apr 2006, 14:52 (Ref:1569120)

It certainly is Chris and may teach me not to enter two races on the day, Ok if you an pull out of the second and get a refund but I don't think I will chance it again, it was actually the first time I had entered for two on the day. Shame there cannot be a little more flexibility from the promoters/MSA on this as I remember Lydden and Mondello allowing an extra on the spur race if they had time so it can be done and can only earn the clubs more funds so I think it should be an option (i.e. enter a second race on the day if your car complies and is running even if starting from the rear of the grid).

Wonder if anyone has any thoughts on this?

MikeHoyer · 3 Apr 2006, 15:11 (Ref:1569133)

dailysportscar has a review and some pictures of this event online. If you're not a subscriber I think they are currently running a limited free trial.

Michael Leete · 3 Apr 2006, 17:12 (Ref:1569231)

Al in another post you asked what happened to the link to my Snetterton report and pictures. Well the govenor here deleted it because it broke the rules promoting a web site. OK rules are rules and I accept that but I see the post previous to this promotes a site although without a link.

So I will do likewise. You can find my Snetterton stuff by looking up my name - Michael Leete - on Google.

btw - Sorry about the car. I am Neil Brays helper and it was me filling your beast up with oil while you were trying to get her out for Group 1 qualifying.

hi folks

well i've taken far too many to post them all - if anyone on here was at great and british let me know and i'll see if i can find some pics of you on the track

Al Weyman · 3 Apr 2006, 18:53 (Ref:1569311)

Oh right I remember you, thanks. Why don't you in future just copy and paste the text as a post and link the pictures, it's easy to do and I am sure there would be no objections. I sort of understand the link issues especially if it is rival sites but at the same time there are a lot on here so I am a little confused especially as it was only a little personal site not a commercial site you were linking.

Good meeting though was'nt it?

Ian Sowman · 3 Apr 2006, 18:58 (Ref:1569321)

That wouldn't be correct either under the FAQs, Al - this is a discussion forum and should not be used for posting complete articles and images.

Al Weyman · 3 Apr 2006, 19:09 (Ref:1569331)

I'm even more confused now, sorry I must be a bit simple, I thought posting images was encouraged I personally think it is one of the strongest features of the forums. Surely if someone posts a few pictures it encourages more discussion.

Rather than be so cryptic why don't you put the webpage address in your profile. That's what it's there for after all.

**Snapper Baz** · 3 Apr 2006, 19:19 (Ref:1569346)

Ian's right you know...I have my own website but I don't plug my website every time I send a post. I'm at a meeting virtually every weekend and all pics are uploaded soon(ish) after each event-I'm sure that other people/photographers will get p****d off if I blatently pushed the site every 5 minutes like some are doing at the moment. I, like many others joined 10 Tenths to read, chat and have a laugh..not for it to be my very own advertising hoarding!

**Tim Falce** · 3 Apr 2006, 19:22 (Ref:1569349)

So why is it OK for certain people, or one person that I can think of to constantly post links to his prints and paintings?

**Asp** · 3 Apr 2006, 19:25 (Ref:1569353)

Michael - can I suggest you please read your private messages, and if you have any questions after reading please contact any of the moderator team.

As regards wanting to link to reports, may I refer you to the FAQ:

Quote:

It is acceptable to post a link into a thread where is is appropriate. For instance, should someone ask "Does anyone know the address of the (insert organisation here) website" then a URL posted in response is fine. Links should only be posted to live websites that contain the information referred to.

Therefore, posting it in an existing thread in response to a question is generally fine - making a new thread about a site generally will belong in cool sites. However, joining and only posting about your website will be obviously frowned upon.

Posting reports and photos that assist to a discussion is good, but Ian is right and we currently are a discussion forum, and not a reporting site.

Now, can we please move back to topic?

Eddy V · 3 Apr 2006, 19:56 (Ref:1569395)

Shame you didn't get much running Al. Hope the damage isn't too big.

In my defence, so you can't blame me: I wasn't even near the UK on the weekend.

Al Weyman · 3 Apr 2006, 20:03 (Ref:1569412)

At least it was easier to push now Eddy with the new rear calipers:-)

Eddy V · 3 Apr 2006, 20:10 (Ref:1569427)

Tell you one thing Al, on the 15th I want to see a result, no pushing.

Or no Belgian beer!

Al Weyman · 3 Apr 2006, 20:14 (Ref:1569434)

Can I have some just for a finish?

Eddy V · 3 Apr 2006, 20:15 (Ref:1569437)

Yeah well, okay. Only because you ask so nicely.

Al Weyman · 3 Apr 2006, 20:16 (Ref:1569440)

Well I had better see what I can do them.

Eddy V · 3 Apr 2006, 20:21 (Ref:1569450)

Oh dear, customs are going to look veeery funny at me again on that day.

C:Where are you travelling to sir?
Me:Motorracing, at Brands Hatch.
C:And all those crates of beer sir?
Me:Errrrrrr.

R59 · 3 Apr 2006, 20:29 (Ref:1569457)

Did somebody mention beer?

Still no news on the gearbox. Parcel2neverusethemagain!

lotus · 3 Apr 2006, 20:31 (Ref:1569461)
