SEMSEC round 2 May 13th

Minicross424 · 9 May 2006, 18:00 (Ref:1604450)

Well im looking forward to this weekend.
Could it be seconds out round two of the Mini V the lovebug ?
Will Sideways Pete Thurston powerslide EVERY corner?
Whos comming, drivers, marshals etc have your say!
Is upsidedown bug comming to play?

Upside Down Bug · 9 May 2006, 18:07 (Ref:1604456)

Looking forward to the Mini v Bug duel again, and yes the UDB will be there on the bank looking like an overgrown orange fool!

djinvicta · 9 May 2006, 20:25 (Ref:1604539)

If I have my way Pete will be sideways on the straights too

R59 · 10 May 2006, 05:28 (Ref:1604776)

Why? are you buying him a new car to race - perchance, and Austin 1800? He likes classics!!!

MiniMadness · 10 May 2006, 21:43 (Ref:1605464)

Sorry I won't be able to make it this weekend, due to racing at Blyton in the MR2. We tested today and didn't break anything, so wish me luck.

GreenSaxo · 12 May 2006, 18:18 (Ref:1607272)

i will be marshalling Tristam,

am hoping for a wave somepoint during the day

Minicross424 · 12 May 2006, 18:30 (Ref:1607276)

Will do my best greensaxo!
See you all there, weather looks ok

Gnomex · 12 May 2006, 18:55 (Ref:1607300)

Coming? Not me

My good lady has insisted I go to a school function (apparently I DO have children and they do go to school - always wondered where all my salary went!).

Enjoy your day...

Upside Down Bug · 12 May 2006, 19:01 (Ref:1607305)

Gnomex, how could you let all us other gnomes down. Have a word!!!!!

Anyhow, I heard a rummour that the Boy Blunder might be putting in an appearance tomorrow!

That was superb stuff Pete, some of the best racing I've seen in ages (from two very distinctive cars as well

). More of the same please (only you're supposed to finish behind Bill

).

Steve Mead · 16 May 2006, 08:55 (Ref:1611324)

Glad you boys had a great time on sat, well me I was sitting at home with nothing to do as the phone call came friday to say the single seater race was cancelled, strange as there were 20 odd cars at branda and only 4 of us at Lydden, mind you I'm glad it was cancelled as I sold my car on weds eve. So sorry you won't be able to see that mad black formula ford getting a bit out of shape like the test day..!!!!! But not all is lost cause now i've got a derestricted formula renault just a bit quicker to get even more sideways. Lets hope eddie mclurg dont get of the line very well and maybe we will have an interesting race, Its not all about being the fastest in a straight line!!! Anyway car wont be out until the barc round on june the 11th then semsec after that so see you all soon.

Minicross424 · 19 May 2006, 19:58 (Ref:1614432)

Great days racing last saturday.
Looks like it 2-0 to me v the bug!
However im very well informed that next meeting there will be two of the blighters!
I was a bit disserpointed about the handicap getting caught early, how do you win the race!
Great race Pete the race winning spins rocked.
Anyone know of a cliocup car going cheap, i need more power!

Upside Down Bug · 19 May 2006, 21:16 (Ref:1614467)

Yep, well done on beating the bug 2nd time out, but the other one will be quite a different matter. (Not me by the way).

As for how to win the handicap, we'll have a chat before the next one. I never quite won one myself, but I once came second by 10th of a second...blast!!!!

As for Pete v Bill, what a great race, two very different cars and styles, but great entertainment. And Pete certainly knows how to celebrate!!

No, but I know where there's a Mini for sale that's got a bit more poke than your current beast!

col rooney · 22 May 2006, 14:29 (Ref:1616340)

Well im not sure how you win it or how it works but i had problems in practice and was still working on my imp when my intended race started and i got into the handicap race. Was on pole and had to do 11 lapas had a great race and then on the start of the last lap the dizzy started to play up again so i lifted off just to get to the end and was it close i won the race from nigel bents caterham by 0.182 of a second close or what. I may well do a few more of the handicap races as its good fun every one out there has a chance to win. Im looking forward to the next round at lydden and thanks to minicross424 for a loan of a dizzy cap i ended up useing my own 1 but its nice that people help each other out thats what racing should be a bit of fun

Minicross424 · 22 May 2006, 19:55 (Ref:1616576)

I was on pole Col because i had a 2 lap 34 sec advantage but you shot past me about 3 laps from home!
Glad you fixed the imp and you know where we are if you want anything.
bert mk2 would that faster mini be Mr Watsons or Mr Rawlings?

GreenSaxo · 22 May 2006, 20:12 (Ref:1616593)

i would imagine Bert is on about Rons car tristam.

col rooney · 22 May 2006, 20:33 (Ref:1616607)

Oh right i see what you mean tristam about pole .If you buy either of them mini,s you will be well up the front and i hopefuly we can have a few close races

We sold Rons Mini today so there will be a new face at the SEMSEC meetings.

Minicross424 · 23 May 2006, 16:46 (Ref:1617245)

glad to hear you guys finally sold rons mini.
Any hint on who it is?
Mig whats the next step for my mini?

mig · 23 May 2006, 18:55 (Ref:1617321)

Horse power and revs.

It is getting to the stage where more horse power is going to be needed.I will have a think and work out what our next possible step could be.Are you out on the 3rd as Dave is sprinting might see you there.

R59 · 23 May 2006, 21:47 (Ref:1617443)

Mig, you get Bill Richards talking and distract his attention.
Minicross424, get yer spanners out quick... swap em' over, he'll never notice!

That should sort it.

Otherwise, Longman head, steel innards, 649 cam, etc....

I was talking about Rons car but as mentioned it's now gone! Will be good to have another car out there - any clues as to who bought it Lee?

Minicross424 · 26 May 2006, 20:01 (Ref:1619763)

I like your style racing 59!
Any chance of seeing you at a semsec meeting?
Look forward to hear your thoughts mig.
Hows your car at present?
