He was also shocked by his times.

With a claimed 550 bhp, what do you think?

My point was, was he happy with the times that he'd set having spent that money and having that power or disappointed.

Mike and you have less and went quicker.....

I don't doubt he'll go an awful lot quicker once he's used to it.

He reckons the car's ballistic and so it should be.

I reckon the only one who may be satisfied with his car is Mike, but not for much longer

With constant developing of Mike trying to stay ahead, and the rest of us playing catchup, none of us will be used to our cars. The disadvantage Dick has, as I see it, is that his is on a trailer although, I believe, he has use of a private bit of airfield.

Mine feels ballistic on the road but once on a track it feels rather ordinary.

Still, neither Mike, Dick nor yourself are brave enough for Abingdon.

Only wish I knew. He plays his cards very close to his chest.

I think his regular for sale forrays are his way of acknowledging the ridiculousness of all this. :-D

Was planning on selling and going racing in somthing else.
But when ive read the regs on nippon challenge apart from my gearbox,
which iam not sure if i can run this is in my shell,
Other than that its totaly eligable for one of the classes. unfortunatley it will be in gt500. But with a few tweeks and turbo change can be achievable.
Will try it as is first and see if i need to increase power.
Will speak to the co ord and see if they will look over the car at the august event at snetterton and see if elegable. so will see just trying to get gerry to play as well. mike
