Motorsport UK / ACU MAllory Test Day
Friday (15th) saw the first split test day of the year, the link being there were only 4 cars out (Open Pit Lane!), and all 4 were 'historic.
Two mid to late 80's FF1600's and an early 80's FF2000 with that lovely Pinto sound along the Pit Straight - all cars were 'new' to their drivers.
The Tin Top was an immaculate bright yellow Midget brought down from York for it's first run out with a 'new' yet to race driver.
The rebuilt 1380cc A Series engine was redlined @ 8200 although on the day the driver kept it below 5K.
Looking forward to seeing him during the year @ the MGCC meetings as he's racing in the Midget / Sprite Challenge in Class E.
After lunch the bikes when out -11 in total, again in an open pitlane, very spectacular were 2 BSB Superstockers that were definitely the fastest things we saw all day.
Lets hope the next day on Wednesday March 6th attracts more cars
