Teesside today
Andy D - 9/4/10 at 07:47 PM

Had a last minute booking into Teesside, to give the Civic it's last test before the race season starts next Saturday at Croft. Still one slight niggle with the car, but overall it performed fairly well, and will have to do for now..

Thanks for the kart place Richard (Bigfoot) was a good race, my lad Pete won, with dad a not too distant fourth.

A few pics:

The rage was probably not doing the quickest lap times, but with a ZZR1400 engine wasn't the slowest, and was definitely entertaining!

they measure your height from bum on seat to over top of helmet to allow for the angle to the front to protect you in case of a roll.

i had the hoops but they didn't look that big

does look odd in that pic though.

hell of a car that to be fair

I think its because you are looking at the vertical bars and the rear uprights, this makes the bar look thicker


bigfoot4616 - 12/4/10 at 08:24 PM

good vid there andy.
just finished looking through mine, well the ones that worked anyway.

will upload some tomorrow night

Me and my son were driving the Silver Formula 27 around 5 minutes into the last video. Had a little trouble wth keeping the oil in the Zetec. It was coming out of the dipstick on hard left handers. Sorted it eventually with a big spring and gaffer tape. We haven't used the 27 for over a year so not bad. i managed to shave around 6 seconds of our previous lap times with a set of R888s down to around 55 seconds on the fastest lap. Got some video but it's a bit blured. i tried like mad to sort out the camera but to no avail, well not until we got home. It's the first time weve used the new format and we can't wait for the next one. Well that's when i'm fit again after a little mishap on Saturday morning. Might make May if not we will have to wait until August as June and July fall on both our trips to le Mans. We also enjoyed the karting even if I did come about last. I had the slowest Kart as everyone kept coming past me. Nowt to do with my karting skills. Cheers Ken
