Jim

Jimbo88 · 8 May 2006, 12:45 (Ref:1603323)

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.

Got to agree young Will looked spectacular from the esses although i wished the car would have stopped dropping coolant!!

That wasn't coolant, it was this little chappie here....................

Apologies from all at Top 12 for the foul up on the results database earlier. As mike said normal service has been resumed.

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.

The meeting finished at 16.45, earlier than expected I believe.

Indeed....

Things did appear to be running very well on Sunday with no delays or hold ups of any standing....

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.

Yer really sorry to anyone that followed. Was the only way of getting through the weekend. Hopefully the hot water into cold air meant most of it vaporised as it came out the back?

Nice pics!

Kilvy,

superb pics! Especially the witness mark on the track of the anti-freeze after my spin!!! http://stevekilvington.fotopic.net/p29034014.html

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 !)

wi11iamm · 10 May 2006, 19:11 (Ref:1605318)

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.

Jimbo88 · 10 May 2006, 20:01 (Ref:1605371)

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.
