Mini progress

[Nefarious]

I go so far as a say they're shit, but a) now we know TADTS b) you don't really need them anyway (just the odd little stab to balance/unbalance the car)

[Foz]

They should have a ok-ish pedal but work incredibly...

the amount of cars i was outbreaking into Rocket at ROR is remarkable..




NO sniggering at the back :p

Yep - Braking well past the brake boards into the hairpin. Taking massive chunks back out of folk that had the power advantage.

The braking point for the BTCC boys was interesting on Sunday, i need to get my big girl pants on next time i am out in the loltus

[scotta]

Decent shot from Wednesday night - me driving.

@Foz I thought you were selling it? Changed your mind?

[Foz]

Had so many people after bits, i basically decided the car was going as one, or as a rolling shell and drivetrain, with ECU etc, could get a deal over the line and was being offered all sorts of part ex's, none of which floated my boat so i will get it back out before the end of the year and reassess post what I want to do with it....

How far from road legal is it? If you could make it road legal you could ask big money for it.

[Foz]

Very..

Is the Mini going to be at Cadwell on Sunday?

No. We’re not racing with the SMRC lot.

[John]

Ah ok. I was just browsing the Cadwell site and noticed the Scottish invasion incoming.

[Nefarious]

We were supposed to be down there in the Formula Ford, but silly squabbling and politics killed it - one team tried to throw its weight around to have the round moved to Oulton Park, and effectively got Cadwell cancelled due to lack of entries, but then another team used it's veto to stop Oulton being recognised as a championship round. So we've ended up with nothing

Not until October i think

[nuttinnew]

Ah yes, next week, not next month...
Should be helpful for good crowd attendance

I'm going to pop along on Saturday morning.

Not to cheer @scotta on in his first race, but to deliver the copy of the Comprehensive Racing Driver Excuses Book - Middle Aged East Lothian Bloke Edition he asked me to get him. Fuck me this thing is massive - will probably need to take the E-Tron.

As this is his maiden voyage, I fully expect assurances of "No Heroics", but probably in a @Maurice stylee*

Forecast (for Saturday at least) looks pretty good. But it's Knockhill, so snow and blistering heatwave are equally likely.


*(full attack mode + 1).

I had a misfire. Either that or it was one of the dampers.

[Foz]

I might pop down if the timings work with the kids!
