A brilliant weekend was had at blyton this weekend with amazing weather and very competative sprinters.probably the best I have seen at 1 meet!
It was great to meet some of the lcb gang over the weekend,and thanks to all that came and said hello. There were many but not great with names.
VolvosportR with some great aero advice. Capri big jim (hope tyres were ok today),avonjase who was very nice chap. And also to the other competitors
from the forum I hadn't met yet. Red turner was a truly great character! Gordon Riley who won again in the lotus both days and jeff Wiltshire in
the awesome supercharged phoenix! I think jeff lectured me on Saturday evening telling me not to drive like a fairy after being 2 seconds off the
pace and I took note and took class win and outright class record today on my final run with a 65.64 sec run!
I hope jeff broke the 70 sec barrier but didn't see his final time but either way it was great to meet up and get stuck in with some seriously
quick sprinters!
The Gould took outright lap record yesterday and was awarded a nice bottle of champagne from Richard usher at the awards! I collected another 2 for
1st In class and fastest novice with the 65.64. Think the novice In the 330bhp supercharged duratec did a 66 but I just put in a good last lap to take
it!
Hi Dan
Good to meet you to, sounds like you had a cracking weekend. Jeff's advice certainly did the trick , that's a big improvement from
Saturday , nice one !
Had a number of issues with my supersoft ZZRs (put the front right through to the steel reinforcement) and changed them for the Mediums and went 2
secs faster. Car is very loose as the tyres where not upto temp and had a lot of pickup from a trackday.
Weather was great both days Andy and everyone was going faster and faster as the weekend went on!
Was great to catch up jeff and it was a great weekend all round
Yes mate. I just started spinning as I crossed the line so run was good! I was pushing hard as rich Vaughan had done a 65.90 the run before to break
class record so a 65.64 was a great result for me! Fastest novice award was another bonus as I know Luke Algar who won it Saturday was just nipping
under 67 secs in the supercharged duratec Westfield!
Even the journey home was ok and traffic not too bad!
Gordon Riley who I travel to events with was having the same issues as you with the supersoft tyres in his lotus Elise and said mediums would Have
been better.
No clutch on up shifts mate the flat shifter cuts the ignition on up shifts. I'm hard on the throttle and just pull the paddles! The blipped
works on the downshift but I've been using clutch when going down gears as the flat shifter sometimes fails to shift down without the clutch
Annoyingly I can't even find a video clip or sound bite of my Busa at 1/100th cut… I bought the car with a 1/30th cut, and it was just too slow,
and dropped the revs too much...
