Simon

 

Saturday Si !!

 

Looking awesome John.

I am concerned though about how busy Craig's going to be in between events, what with all that extra width, and seeing pics of you in action..

 

Still got a few issues with some of the bodywork due to getting it out for today and tomorrow events at Kames but as you can see L555BAM made it!

 

sweeeeet!!!!

what bonnet is that????

 

looks awesome

 

Looks spectacular for a Scotsman working out of a double garage. Craig has done a top job.

 

Excellent day today, far exceeded my expectations. Finished the car at 02:30 this morning and due to double booked tow car issues, was up at 04:30 to take the car down to Kames, never even been out of the driveway. Considering this our niggles were minor, couple of loose nuts, a loose bolt and a wee wiring issue, that once bounced off someone else in the clear light of day was easily resolved. A second bleed of the brakes as I though the pedal was a bit long and we were off........

Kames Anti -Clockwise Record: 79.13

First Practice, never driven car, car never been driven turned in an 80.something. No wheels fell off, well chuffed.
Second practice under the record with an 78.78

What was intended to be a shakedown/Nutup day was shaping into something else.


Ran both practices without Diff controller to see how the car handled in it's raw state, no corner weighting, no damper adjustment, no roll bar tweaking, no fecking about with Active Centre Diff. Car was really Tail happy but on the same note perfectly controllable, really enjoyable if maybe not the quickest way round. Fitten Diff controller after lunch, and First Timed run in the cars life and we have a Record in the bag, 78.46s. I'm pretty certain I would not have been capable of getting the old car round there in that time, even though it is way more familiar to me. Car was a bit understeery in turn in with the centre Diff set where I ran it all last year in the other car, but the power on oversteer is still there. Liking it.

Second timed run wound the diff back a bit, understeer now virtually gone, and nipped another .05s off record. Car is also launching much better, which is probably attributable to a combination of things.

All in all, could not have been a better day.

Well done on the result! The cars looking hot

 

Amazing considering when the car was finished.

Do you venture outside of Scotland at all? (Racing I mean)

Mark

Mark

 

Job Done Sir !!

 

john,,
Just got my info for curbourgh on the 15th of june,
I see you are there,,
You should take the record
see you there sir

 

Cool!

I'm gonna come down have a look see.

 

Can't make it now Chaps, but a Seriously quick Evo is taking my place, Norman has won the First two MLR spints so far I believe

 

Stormin norman got the same winning time but came 2nd due to being in a better class,
The 2nd sprint norris won, and 3rd knoxville won mate,

 

Paul i have no real knowledge, just surmising based on rumour and hearsay. One thing is certain, both Norman and the car are quick !!

 

Sorry to hear you cant make it mate.

What class will the evo run in, road mod or mod prod?

 

It'll be in Mod Prod Rob, Carbon doors and things would preclude it being otherwise.

John, You are right mate, Very quick car,
Hope to see your car at some events this year

 

Cheers, won't cross the border again till TOTB, that'll probably be the only venture down there this year now. Hoping to do some more diverse stuff next year, IOM weekend and some of the hills.

Not very interesting but here's a pic after some fettling at the weekend
