Grovesy won both, piping Scotty both times! Also some spectacular drives from Will Mason, he looked absolutely on it, 4 wheel drifting through orchard!!!
Really good weekend and the weather held up after a slighlty damp Sat afternoon. Couple of bumps, but nothing like loton, groves broke a rear wing and a nose on sat afternoon, (parts that i hear after loton gould didnt have in stock) but rob turnbull loaned bits from paul edwards' V8 (rob was driving the V6). And Mat Harrison totaled the nose of his SPA after a left rear upper wishbone rose joint let go going over the rumble strips out of etorries. |

Oops, who let the dogs in...
Scottie's got off to a really good start then. Could be a good battle over the year if he keeps it up. Groves just magical, though, isn't he? Can't wait to see them for the first time in a couple of weeks. |

Some great pics there Steve. I was beginning to suspect that the Mason car was running a total loss coolant system.  Trouble is it's not much fun for the following couple of cars. |

Nice driving....especially using the handicap system of trying to spray water onto your rear tyres !! Get all this madness of driving really fast out your system now, and start slowing down.....especially by about August time !! (us oldies need all the help we can get !)

Haha...i think we should have a word with mark goodyear first!
Many thanks for the borrow of the ECU, helped us out of difficult situation! Definately owe you a beer or three. I think I ran after Judd on that run, seems like someone else was loosing water too.

I think oliver may have spun on his own coolant?
 I remember seeing him mopping up his undertray after the run  But untill that point he was on a flyer, well done for the PB and for beating your mum's ladies record! hehe!

Sorry Will! Temperamental racing cars!
 mmm, we removed the oil cooler over the winter, which had prevented the rad moving. It was flexing a fair bit and pulled the O-ring out. All sorted now with some nice bits of Ali. I was totally on the limit at Prescott to get the times out of it that I did - and even they weren't that good for a V8! Compensating for a lack of rear grip, but its 10 days until I can get it to a certain ex-hillclimb champion for some help. Yer, beating the ladies record!!! That was last year's target that I failed to reach. ! have a good Barbon and Harewood everybody. |
