How often do you repeat something after 46 years. The last time I drove an E type with no brakes was at Brands in 1965. Today I drove one with the rear brake calipers buggerd and pumping with my left foot to get some pressure, decided I didnt want to repeat history so put it on the trailer to the workshop.
On a good note got the 13" wheels and tyres on the Escort and had the suspension all sorted,even had it corner weighted, what ever that is and it now steers in a straight line now.

After some awful pit stops this year where we've had trouble re-fitting the quick release (not quick fit
 ) steering wheel we decided for the race yesterday to exit and re-enter the car without removing the wheel. We knew it was possible but to see how we would do under pressure we practiced a few times......................got a bad back now! Apparently I've got to start doing some Yoga to make me more flexi  ps - pit stop was much better, best this year

I would have gone a tad higher and kept out the 8k's. I bet the power starts tailing off after 7k anyhow so why wear it out.

Also once you get that slab shaped thing over 140mph it will be like hitting a brick wall, check out how much extra BHP is required for every mph above 150, you would be surprised.
