I like the adrenalin rush, but there was nothing to fight for today, and driving 80 miles on a maybe wasn't for me....

Next year I think I will be finding a new challenge...if the class system stays the same as this year wasn't that much fun apart from Hethel..

Yep as Gerry H stated an excellent dry Debden sprint, with a very full entry, my little R400 Caterham with one of Rovers finest examples of an engine worked very well after a year of serious use and abuse, (but that is what i bought it for) Running a little lighter than the 1st and 2nd placed cars, but around 140bhp less than Duncans and Ginos cars,so as this is my 1st year of sprinting i am well pleased with 3rd in class with a 70.95.

What have i learnt from my 1st year of sprinting,= Just wish i had started years ago, What i like is the friendly paddock banter, range of cars, and the fact that how much faster the good guys are, even when i think i am on my limit, lots to learn as yet.

Good to hear about today. Was hoping to pop along but too knackered after riding 68 miles round Thetford forest in last night's 'dusk til dawn' race!

Glad you all had a great (dry)day! I take it you`ve sorted your clonking shock`s on the Dax`s gerry? was it much improved?

Dax is fine now it has a couple of new dampers on the rear end Russ.

If I can sort the electrical gremlins that record things like 25,500 RPM, water temps of 115oC, oil pressure of '0' and a few other misfire anomolies and running issues it'll be quite good

Cheers Russ.

0.65 was the difference.
