It was definitely raining on the Saturday morning as well, as I thought WTF is Mike's car doing out there on the track when I first arrived (and I was hooning quattro style on the access roads on the South Bank ).

[chris_uk]

whys it a bad idea joe?

[The Batman]

because you have a 2.5" bore where mikes piper has a 3" bore going onto a 3" exhaust

[JimmyJamJerusalem]

i thought that was why you didnt want to drive his car?

nah it pissed down the night before and in the morning so I wouldn't take his car out (still can't believe he offered and we race prepped his car in one night ) then it dried out by lunchtime and was dry all afternoon.

The Legendary Curry!



George having a sneaky break



Stone caught in tyre after one of Mikes Spins. (After removed found there where serveral more further in so sent George off to the tyre truck to have it sorted..

Brands last year was a wet start on Saturday and the warm up was declared wet, by practice it had dried up and improved throughout the day (sounds like Knockhill and Cadwell to me). I am so buzzing that everyone is interested in the season this year.

[JimmyJamJerusalem]

Certainly got a great amount of interest in here come race day!! The live timing is excellent this year too!! Time Attack's becoming a .org tradition now, we'll have to make sure we have at least one entrant each year

[Rosssco]

Out of interest, is there any restrictions on using a different engine? Or would that mean you'd end up in Pro Class?

[The Batman]

no restriction

[Mike (Cliffie)]

you got heat wrap on your cables?

Yup.

Yup.

Cooked selector fork tips?

[The Batman]

You don't seem very bothered? Take it it's not as bad as it sounds?

[JG]

probably too knackered

[Wreelybro]

probably too knackered

I can vouch for that drive home was a killer!

The clutch bleed sorted 4th to 3rd after qually so not to concerned. I will take it for a little blast over the course of the next week and see what it does.

I think the 3rd to 4th was me to be honest.

Cheeky noise check

[GeorgeBC]

you got heat wrap on your cables?

Yup.

Could do with some heat wrap around the lambda wiring as well as its exposed. Worth bleeding some more fluid through the clutch as we only did a couple of pumps because we didn't have any fresh fluid. Didn't notice any air come out.

[Wreelybro]

Great photos Nige! LMAO at the bird checking out George's butt crack!!
