It's the moisture that needs shifting though, and that needs dehumidifying (AC) or heat.

it would be easier to explain why on a psychrometric chart

So did three laps this morning and the new clutch starting slipping badly. While the bot boys took the gearbox out i went off to find a clutch. Finally got the car back together for 3oclock and managed to do around 20 laps. All is good. Full grid tomorrow but from the entry list it seems the prelude that won at Oulton isnt here. Drive carefully everyone who is coming up, see you tomorrow.

Bit of a disappointing weekend really. Clutch problems with a new clutch yesterday and then today. Got a drive through penalty along with car #100, the clio cup with the seq box. He was in front and I was literally a couple of inches of his rear bumper and was concentrating on him and not the flags and we both overtook on a yellow flag. Got a drive through penalty and evn though I tried hard in the last quarter of the race I just couldnt make up the difference to get on the podium. Finished 3rd in class and 6th in the race, 36 car grid. I'm still only running around 137-139bhp/ton and its just not enough if I'm to keep up with the best class B cars. In the wet and the dry today in the corners I'm right up with the leaders pace but in the straights its a different story. More power will be addressed, possibly not by Cadwell on the 11th May but certainly by Brands on the 8th June. They announced toay that Snetterton on 27th July is to be cancelled and there will be a double header on the Brands GP circuit that weekend. We intend to enter the TDT on the 27th and the Team Trophy on the 28th. Thanks to everyone who came today, hope you all had a safe trip home.

As usual Mark is understating the race, with about 4 mins to go he was 5th in class as the rain was coming in and still pinched 3rd.
Great watching the BOT team in action and catching up with the .org crew who came along.

Few pics from the day

Try not to get hung up on the power thing, looking at the times I'm sure there is more to come out of the chassis/driver. Remember you still have a novice cross on the back, you're clearly getting a great start but there will inevitably be things to learn. Have you tried sticking a peddler in the car who you know can get within a sec of the ultimate lap time and see what it will do? At this level everyone is on a very tight budget so you want to focus your spend on the areas that count the most which is usually track time and tyres.
