BARCse Tin Tops 2007 - Page 4

Greystone · 20 Jan 2007, 10:44 (Ref:1820142)

I thought that I was ahead of the game and going to be all ready for Brands on the 25th March.

Took the Tomcat to Dave Walker yesterday to get it remapped and found that it has a compression/sealing problems, my suspicion is rings. Hoping that I can get away without a rebore as it has a set of accralite pistons in it.

At least we proved that my homemade twin intercooler setup works (according to Dave it reduces the inlet temp by over 10 degrees C compared with when we tried it with the single intercooler) and that the cold air feed to the air filter also produces extra power.

All part of life's rich tapestry I suppose.

Will be joining the series when I get it done.

Could be my computer.

If you can't find it, it's below the weather and reads BARCse Universal Championship Registration Form. If you got that and can't download it, you may need Acrobat reader installed on your computer. If you have Acrobat, try right clicking the link and "Save as" You should then be able to open it from your PC.

Thanks Steve.

Doesn't make any odds because it doesn't look like I'm going to be there now anyway.

As Blackadder said b*gg*r.

Is this an MSVR Open race like last year, or part of a championship?

I believe it is a challenge not a championship, so results are for individual rounds only.

Greystone , as you know, I may be being a bit greedy this year, and have registered 2 cars for the tin tops. Assuming the Asthma is ready for 24 th march ( Nice parcel from QED turned up yesterday ). If car B is ready before yours, I'm more than happy to return the favour of borrowing your car whena rod went awol on mine at Lydden last year!

Rod Birley · 21 Jan 2007, 16:38 (Ref:1821010)

March 24th is a BARC south east race for sports/saloons and tin tops, similar to last years "open race". Yes "nyssa 7" you are welcome to join in.

nyssa7 · 21 Jan 2007, 16:59 (Ref:1821020)

Cheers Rod, I'll look out the regs and entry form. Enjoyed last year's event and could use a decent pre-season run out again

Minicross424 · 30 Jan 2007, 19:45 (Ref:1829635)

I took the cover off my Mini today and she looks mighty fine so roll on the first event.
I going to try and give the paint work a refresh however as the wife has decided we need a larger house pennys are a bit tight!
Who else has got new paint work this year?

STEVED · 30 Jan 2007, 22:52 (Ref:1829782)

I'm just new this year.

No you're got it wrong. You should have a smaller house and more race cars !!

andypipe · 31 Jan 2007, 15:49 (Ref:1830304)

Might bring mine out for a couple this year

Minicross424 · 1 Feb 2007, 07:44 (Ref:1830828)

Not quite the same as moving to ca minimadness??

STEVED · 26 Feb 2007, 23:44 (Ref:1852388)

Bump Thread.

It'll be my first ever race so i'll make sure i stay out of the way.

chezza · 27 Feb 2007, 09:04 (Ref:1852616)

Don't think that Steve...just get stuck in, I'm sure you'll be fine!

Yes for those that don't know Regs and forms were sent out at the weekend, they are also available on the south eastern centre pages of the BARC website.

Best of luck Steve, you'll be fine. Wish I was going, the Honda is still in bits at the moment...

Oh well, have to stick to North Weald in the road car for now!

chezza · 2 Mar 2007, 13:07 (Ref:1855538)

Entries for the first event of the season are coming in...make sure you get your entries in fast to get your place!

STEVED · 2 Mar 2007, 17:14 (Ref:1855681)

Have you got mine, Could you let me know when you start receiving the Lydden Easter entries. Ta

chezza · 2 Mar 2007, 19:05 (Ref:1855754)

I've had yours, your first on my list. Lydden entries are starting to come in already, you can always send them all in but with cheques dates 3 or 4 weeks before the meeting.

It is easier to take people out at the last minute than add them in!

Rod Birley · 5 Mar 2007, 21:14 (Ref:1859189)

Hopefully some more "tin tops" will join in. The benefits are: two races at each meeting, some for as little as £135. No registration fee. Classes are based on whether you choose list 1A or 1B tyres then engine capacity. All the entry forms are now available on the barc.net website then go to regional centres, south east. You do have to fill in a registration form to get a non-clashing number for the year.

STEVED · 5 Mar 2007, 22:27 (Ref:1859240)

Can we have a list of entries please.

Minicross424 · 6 Mar 2007, 17:04 (Ref:1859919)

The car wont be ready for the first one at brands but i should be there for the second at lydden?
We got an idea of numbers yet?

STEVED · 6 Mar 2007, 17:41 (Ref:1859949)

Come on people more entries required for the 24th. The Tintops will never be as popular as the DTR but it needs more support

Unlikely I'll make 24th - engine not back in car yet, and only got through medical today for licence - but hope to be out for first Lydden. If it's touch and go may be DTRC or Tin Tops depends on where there are any spaces !

Alan
Astra 80
????? 80 ( not ready until at least mid season )

chezza · 7 Mar 2007, 00:19 (Ref:1860220)

Entry list will be available soon Steve, please don't turn into DR
