Red Flagged - Don't know why.
Well done the Minshaws and Basher Bancroft.

50-SIX · 26 Apr 2004, 11:26 (Ref:952075)

Well done Guy, looks like alot more pace has been found over the winter. Your fastest lap in 37's is pretty bloody good too. Well done to Jase as well, hope you get nearer to Fowler next time out.

PaulSands · 26 Apr 2004, 11:36 (Ref:952086)

PaulSands · 26 Apr 2004, 11:59 (Ref:952113)

Red flag was due to Michael Richings off at Woodlands

jminsh · 26 Apr 2004, 12:22 (Ref:952152)

Anyone know were Blue Nose's old Flywheel is, i think i need it to get anywere near Fowler's Pace !!! Very Quick on the straight !!!

PaulSands · 26 Apr 2004, 12:48 (Ref:952185)

A big difference I noticed between Neil Fowler and everybody else was his speed at the bottom of the mountain..he seemed a lot smoother and lifted a lot lot less

blue nose · 26 Apr 2004, 14:59 (Ref:952346)

Jase I hired it to Fowler but I will need it back of him soon to catch 50-six.

dhart · 26 Apr 2004, 15:01 (Ref:952353)

shown yer hand now jase, id have got me cheque book out at Donnington!

M1NNT · 28 Apr 2004, 10:43 (Ref:954433)

Can anyone shed any light on the times.
Neil pimmer holds the current lap record with a 1.35.1 July 2001 in VD RF90 on ACB 10's.Is it realalistic that a Lola T200 20 years older on ACB 9's can do the same time in Qualifing.
Has development not come on that much in 20 years?

PaulSands · 28 Apr 2004, 10:47 (Ref:954442)

Hasn't the circuit been reprofiled through Halls Bends?
Having said that Neil Fowler was flying...I'd tell you how but I'd have to kill you
(just kidding of course)

M1NNT · 28 Apr 2004, 10:55 (Ref:954456)

Is that the bit through the trees?
If so the track 's no differant from last year apart from some of the danger element has been taken away.

PaulSands · 28 Apr 2004, 10:57 (Ref:954457)

Thats the bit...not likely to clip anything now so it must have some effect.
Maybe some of the drivers are a bit good?

M1NNT · 28 Apr 2004, 11:03 (Ref:954466)

Wow,if he's really that good why do you think he still doing historics.With a talent like that he should get sponsorship easily being a multiple champion.

JNWRF01 · 28 Apr 2004, 11:07 (Ref:954469)

M1NNT - lap record is way faster than a 1.35 - if I remember right the slowest quali time in the last national FF race there (Junior FF in Aug 1990) was a high 1.34 - pole (warren hughes) was a high 32 - and I think the lap record was Gareth Rees in a Reynard which was a low 32...

Obv this was on the Dunlops not ACB10s

PaulSands · 28 Apr 2004, 11:09 (Ref:954471)

It's an issue with a few drivers in historics...I think in all honesty the thing that stopped Neil in the past was money but I don't know for sure...I'll ask him shall I? Do a little interview type thingy and put it up on clubff1600...in fact I think there is going to be a driver section on that website

Wasn't the whole point of FF1600 always about maintaining a level playing field with minimal technological development in order to keep costs manageable

Andrew Kitson · 28 Apr 2004, 11:18 (Ref:954482)

The lap record around the time the Lola was built was in the 1.39s. However probably on old Firestones in those days and the track has more run-off now, although the layout is unchanged. Good to see you there Paul.

M1NNT · 28 Apr 2004, 11:24 (Ref:954488)

JNWFR01 - This is true but before they changed the track,My info is direct from cadwell park and from someone who was the star of the midlands champ that year.
Check for yourself if you don't believe me!

JNWRF01 · 28 Apr 2004, 11:42 (Ref:954503)

what have they change to the track appart from moving some barriers/extra run off?? Think you'll find a 33 is good time and a 32 is a great time..

Andrew Kitson · 28 Apr 2004, 11:48 (Ref:954511)

I have a 1989 prog here from the September Luk RAC FF meeting. The lap record before this race was a 1.32.9 set by Tim Sugden in July '89 in the Tredaire Swift. Don't know it this time was beaten in this RAC round. But the track itself has not been changed has it apart from re-surfacing since then? I noticed the Park straight has new (recent) looking tarmac.
New run-off here and there such as at the Hall bends and removal of the barn since 89.

M1NNT · 28 Apr 2004, 12:38 (Ref:954582)

Does anyone know if the hff 1600 has a eligibility scrutineer ?

JustinDawkins · 28 Apr 2004, 12:47 (Ref:954600)

I think Bob Bassett is the scrut for the whole of FF1600? Mr Minshaw?

4thgear · 28 Apr 2004, 13:07 (Ref:954626)

M1nnt - you thinking there is some funny going on's with the lola? seems very quick to the rest eh!

JohnMiller · 28 Apr 2004, 13:11 (Ref:954631)

Weren't the kerbs at the bottom of The Mountain raised MUCH higher a few years ago, adding to the lap times?

PaulSands · 28 Apr 2004, 13:13 (Ref:954634)

This is maybe not the best place to be suggesting any wrong doing

Andrew Kitson · 28 Apr 2004, 13:17 (Ref:954645)

The kerbs looked pretty flat to me John, everyone was cutting across them in all races. How's your season going so far?
