Great racing in that first race. Nice 'yahoo!' as you crossed the line :D
happy days , how long were you at start line on race 1 seemed ages lol
Yeah, it is a long time waiting with 34 cars on the grid. I was 14th so had to wait for the other 20 cars to line up and support vehicles for the start.
I did edit the video down, but uploaded the wrong one :ashamed:
That delay always gets my heart going, even in videos!
Cadwell Park Saturday 20th July.
Full grid of 28 cars on track and a massive 18 cars in my class.
Going to be 3 ex cup cars on track racing, should be interesting as all have different specs.

I now have an electric water pump ( thanks Matt@ code red) on a switch to circulate the water when engine off.
Yes and still on carb :)Quote:

CTM's work is good, or at least used to be, hence the question, as I was surprised to hear of 2 consecutive failures.Quote:
