If you fancy a run out you can have mine Andy :!: My wheels are a tad tarnished now tho :!: nad I can't garantee one of them is 100% round as yet!

Thanks for the offer bro. Would they fit over those Godspeeds though? I'm drifting at Barkston 2moz so may not get time to pick up.

Would have been good to try a back to back run though, see how the times stack up. Lets do a test day and swap wheels

Sure they would, I have Stoptechs remember

Yes, maybe at a Brkston Heath event :!:

I have RE070's as well, but without major arch mods they won't fit on the rims I have

Oh yeah! duh!

I've got 2004 Sti Rims with the RE070s which might fit yours. Try them and see I guess. The Bridgeys are good when hot, its just getting them hot is the problem. Hoping to get a decent run out of them at Cadwell on Monday.

When is your car coming out of the shop? You found a cage yet? I need one and a plumbed in extinguisher as am dusting off the race licence :twisted:

Yes, seems the Safety Devices one is the best bet for bolt in.

Loking at 4 weeks or so till its all straight again :!: It doesn't look pretty at the moment!

Thanks Logan. Up at 5:30 to get there for 7:30 so suppose I ought to get some kip.

Why can't these events begin at a civilised time?

Let you know how we get on. I'm not expecting too much with Mike Blackmore running and Zak having pulled another three degrees of timing because of det

suppose wet would be favourite.

Well, all in all a bit of a disaster for me

don't know my actual class position but I think it's fair to say it was somewhere near last

The only decent timed run was docked +5 for what I can only guess was a struck cone. No tell-tale marks on the car so can only assume an eagle eyed marshall saw one move somewhere, probably the roundabout.

Mike Blackmore was ballistic and was streets ahead of theclass 8) I think he got 3rd FTD in the end. Andy did well and picked up an award but I don't know for which position, I'll leave it for him to fill in the details.

Sorry to be vague but although the day was dry for all the practice and timed runs, the heavens literally opened at the finish and with everyone huddled round the presentation marquees there was no chance of seeing the results or even asking anyone. My feet are still wet and I've been home an hour :roll:

Sorry guys, let the side down

Shame it didnt go well for you Gerry, but at least we have another award within the Team and it is far better to be out doing these things than sitting playing with flamer kits
