After spending the latter part of 2014 learning how to weld and spray
(badly) and an intense couple of months in 2015 getting ' the sow's ear'
back together again, Chris and I were out again on Sunday ( 12th April) at
the CSCC's meeting on Snetterton's 300 circuit. Only change required from
Mig. spec was a larger fuel tank and a set of 12" wheels with Yoko A48R's
and narrower arches.
Car went well in practice as Chris learnt the differences between Dunlop
racers and the Yoko's but the session was curtailed by a dramatic oil leak
from the diff. which covered the start/finish straight in white smoke. No
damage done but I had insufficient tools/ spares and a worrying amount of
play in the cover bearings to consider running the race. We were
encouraged by the Min's pace and Silverstone and Brands are to follow.
Will keep all you fellow Mini men posted. Anybody else got plans for
this year ?
