About time too :D I haven't heard much about your car since the break you had. Glad to hear it's back up and running though :agree:

Maybe we could have a little side by side if I go :D

Yeah I no what you mean. I was soooo gutted when my car didn't make it to the RTOC day. I even had a ticket...... :cry:

I went USC but to be honest wish I hadn't botherd, sand on the start line, what's that all about?????? I no why they do it, but the amount they charge it's bull*****

I really wanted to go this weekend (Nat day) but working all weekend :cry:

USC :cry::p The sand isn't sand though, aparantly! It's not suposed to affect traction, but I think it probably does. I wouldn't stage if I saw all that **** on the line :D

Cheers Rob. Not too much has changed I up'd the gas a little which seemed to help :D

Finally got a 1.85 60 ft which I was happy with so the traction bars seem like they are helping :agree:

Hi Dave

good to meet you on the day, don't think I'd spoken to you before then ? (apologies if I had :D )

I killed the rings on one pot and started to melt the corner off the piston. Log showed it lean off in top gear, I think I just ran out of fuel plain and simple, maybe only a few litres in the tank, thinking it may have just surged to the back and ended up with air in the rail as I emptied the swirl pot. No big issue, bore is fine.

good i'm glad it was nothing to serious, I did have a walk over but couldn't see you or your car so thought you must of left.

yeah was good to have a chat think we spoke once before but I can't be sure either :ashamed::ashamed:

mine let go on the next run :cry: but hey that's racing for you lol. Not stripped it down yet but it's either head gasket or liner either way it will just get built stronger lol. :D
