glad Bob is ok!

 

Heres a few that i took

 

Good pics Saz, great day, shame about the weather

 

did he drive it in the dry then bottle it for the wet and give keys to someone else

 

Shame it still wasnt the fastest time eh?......

 

Where's the times???

 

The rain really skewed the handling results, if you got a few runs in the dry then you were well up the timing scoreboard.
IIRC John F was 3rd in his fairly std Sti5 when I last spoke to him.

I had spent 2 days setting my car up for the handling circuit, with a new set of Whiteline ARB's, springs, drop links, adjustable rear tie rods, full bush set and full alignment........but.......by the time I had done 2 drag runs the heavens had opened
The extra camber and circuit suspension set up didn't seem to cause too much delay on the 1/4m thankfully !!

Andy

 

And what a fine two runs they were

 

Andy if you dont mind me asking, how come you have two fc commanders? Is the fuelling and ignition handled seperately?

banny

 

I think John ended up either 6th or 8th with a 38 flatish....

it was at least drizzling on all my runs, admittedly it did get a whole lot worse later on in the day.....as a mondeo nearly found out slidey slidey!

 

Never knew a mondeo could move that quick in reverse

 

What tyres were you on Neil ?

 

michelin pilot sports with unknown pressures.......damn im professional

 

mad pic of scooby on here

I think i slipped down to 9th in the end.

I was pleased with my last run in the last 15 minutes, it came together well with a 38.9 in the pissing rain, 0.4 slower than my dry run. Neils time was seriously quick.

Well done Andy, top result again!

Very glad to see Bob was OK after a very scary moment, hopefully it's not too bad when it's looked at back at the workshop.

 

Good to meet you all today - John, you should have taken the cement out of the boot mate

Just a pity my car was off the road and I couldn't have set that fastest time, eh Neilo?

Had an email from Bob and he's ok - thankfully

 

hehe you wish i feel a 2 man team at time attack coming on

 

Oh yes

 

John In Action

 

I thought someone had knicked my food and cans of drink from my pile of bits in the pitlane. Sadly not, i had left that in the boot and taken it for a stir fry all day. oops.

 

Sore loser?

or you think it was fixed?


Andy

 

did i miss something? how come Neil wasn't in the final shootout? :S

 

i would say it has something to do with the fact it has eight injectors , so may run a 2 ecus. 1 for controling the lower four and the other maybe for the upper four.

(i like a good old stab in the dark )

 

I think it was done on best time on each "heat", so if you couldn't put in a good time in that particular heat you lost out to the faster car.
Consistancy over fluke.
Wasn't really taking much notice of how it was organised.
All I know is Shauns car stayed in the top three until the final 3 cars ran where it in put the winning time to take it.

Well done Dirk.

Andy

 

A top 4 time during the day was all that was needed to qualify for the final shootout.

 

i managed a high and a mid 37 in standard V3 type R when it was dry, cud of gone a bit quicker then came the rain, and my tyres were not best suited to that, still did all 5 runs, good laugh sliding all over the place

 

Neil was in the final, he came 2nd, but i don't think the winning time of the final was faster than neils other laps

 

Ahh got ya.

Trackday tyres would have been an advantage in the morning whilst it was dry, but Shaun left them in our workshop.

Andy

 

It was nice to see JP mag have got their 'project phoenix' running after the off that trashed the old car. that was 3rd overall

 

yeah your right, he was it's late, ok
