    I take it you managed to sort the problems you had, from the recent rolling road graph, Dave. Good to see it's all back up and running

    Hi Adam, yep, going well with your turbo Put in a piper 285 with bit headwork and made big difference on the rollers.

    We`ll soon see on track soon as racing couple weeks.



    Thanks Brett, nice to see you back

    Souds like you've made some improvements clarky, sounds good. When does your season start? I wanna come along and spectate at a few rounds.

    Gio,

    We are at Brands on the 15th March for our first race of the season, and there is another 5 racing that day in the Toyo tires saloons.

    Have no links as yet to a website, but me and a mate who I race with are making a website for the new season. When its up and running will let you know.

    Dave

    Excellent stuff, glad I got to finish Terrys too.
    Means I get Monday off now......
    I'll bring my alignment gear to Brands for a final measure and set-up....hopefully not many people will need the flat floor in the scrotes/scruts bay....if there is a problem, we can pick out a decent area in the lower half of the paddock, its fairly flat there now,and away from prying eyes......

    Awesome car & colour Reminds me of the time I missed out on buying it...twice

    Would be good to see it (and all the other Cup cars in the club) at this year's ND. Perhaps we could arrange a Cup car only 'race'? (said in the loose term).

    a 20min stint near lunch time would be a good one... My cup car will be last as i drive slowly...
