the only thing to hit may be a marshalls post ! backwards?

graham bahr · 27 Apr 2005, 14:36 (Ref:1288598)

yeah, ok i have managed to reverse into one of the posts after spinning in the wet, fortuantly no real damage resulted from it.

R59 · 28 Apr 2005, 21:21 (Ref:1289699)

Anyone seen the entry list for Lydden? I haven't entered yet, but intend doing so. Do I need to get my skates on?

Rob.

Rod Birley · 28 Apr 2005, 21:26 (Ref:1289707)

Should be enough room as there are plans for split races (A+C and B with D)

Shawn · 30 Apr 2005, 21:26 (Ref:1290771)

Results are up on Rods website plus there's a photo the we could perhaps have a caption competition on.
I would post the photo here but I cannot sus out how to do it. Any ideas ?

Shawn · 30 Apr 2005, 21:45 (Ref:1290783)

Sorry you are too slow. I have answered my own question.

Whilst the wifes away.........you have to do their own dirty work.

Boring I know, but it is late.

**Tim Falce** · 1 May 2005, 07:48 (Ref:1290889)

That's the first time I have seen Rod working on a car, has Sue left him?

Rod Birley · 1 May 2005, 08:18 (Ref:1290897)

No, she was just having a break in America. White water rafting and mule trekking!! I did have the oldest pit crew though (no offence Shawn) in Tony and Rose Sugden, the stars from Doncaster.

R59 · 1 May 2005, 11:02 (Ref:1290980)

Due to a spot of P.P.P.P.P.P (P.Poor Preparation Prevents Perfect Performance) it's going to be a few days before I get Harry back on-track. I was hoping to be out at Lydden for my next attempt, but that's looking unlikely.

The Pinion is stripped of all teeth, thanks to there being no oil in the diff!

The other things I've found related to the suspension, which needs a major setup.

Engine wise, it leaks worse than Whitehall when the BBC are around, so it's gotta come out and be built onto a test rail to find the weeps and glue them up!

Still, it was 1130pm when it went on to the trailer on Friday night, having only fired for the first time (properly) at around 4pm on Friday.

The lap that I managed did show up some potential, and that the 3.75:1 diff in the axle was far too low!

Thanks to all that helped, or tried to help get it back out for the race, especially Jon Mann (who hopes to be out at the Silverstone Stowe race in his Calibra).

That'll teach me to leave the spares at home!

Congrats to Rod for the overall wins, and all of the class winners.

In the words of Mr A. Schwartzenegger... "I'll be back"

And hopefully, be able to perform some formation sideways with Peter Thurston!

Rob.

No offence taken RB. According to the kids 34 is old. They keep asking me what will happen when I die.........which is nice.

Nope,I had the oldest pit crew,me,everyone else deserted me even tim decided to stay home to work on his Jag.
Must say sorry for the oil on the track in the first race,dont know why,engine coming out to investigate,took a 1000 revs off for the second race and it didnt seem to use any?

avro · 16 May 2005, 18:58 (Ref:1302473)

I see that the TRC meeting on the 25 /26th June has now been cancelled, why is that, I thought the series would have max entry for those races ?, or is this a problem with not being part of a BRSCC or BARC event and buying the track time from another series, such as EERC ?

R59 · 16 May 2005, 19:08 (Ref:1302485)

ce?

graham bahr · 16 May 2005, 21:12 (Ref:1302579)

it hasn't been in the calendar for a long long time, BARC SE couldn't get a grid at that meeting, a real shame and it wasn't for lack of trying. although they now have a saloon and sports race now scheduled for july 9th or 10th at brands

R59 · 17 May 2005, 08:33 (Ref:1302824)

I was going to say - what meeting on the 25/26th - had me worried that I was missing out on something.

The 9th/10th July - there's the Eurosaloons at Brands - which I'm planning to do.

Rob.

Rod Birley · 17 May 2005, 08:52 (Ref:1302837)

There is also a southern sports and saloon race to replace the cancelled Silverstone race at the end of March. Entry fee is £145. Practice and race same day. Not sure which of the two days (July 9th or 10th) it will be on.

R59 · 17 May 2005, 19:18 (Ref:1303179)

According to the BRSCC website, the BARC SE Sports/Saloons is on the 9th.
But that can always be wrong.

Rob.

djinvicta · 17 May 2005, 21:17 (Ref:1303257)

Rob; that means youll be in the Kentagon Friday night again eh?

Eric Falce · 17 May 2005, 21:34 (Ref:1303280)

May be I can entice Tim out for that one,especially if Rods buying.

Rod Birley · 17 May 2005, 22:00 (Ref:1303310)

Pint of shandy and four straws it is then.

R59 · 18 May 2005, 20:44 (Ref:1304047)

I'll most likely be hiding in my motorhome, but who knows!! If the weather's nice, anything is possible.

If it's like Silverstone, I'll still be at home until 00:30hrs on Friday following a mad day trying to get the varmit ready.

Managed to tweak work commitments to get most of tomorrow, most of friday, and some of saturday to work on the car.

Could be testing sooner rather than later (breaking a 3.09 diff more like!)

Rob.

One will have to be very long as I will be at either Cadwell or Pembrey that weekend.
