Croft video and a few pics..
Well, we always get extreme weather at Croft, you either get frozen, soaked, or burnt to a frazzle!.... Yesterday was a cooker! 
My son, Pete, had his zetec powered Westy entered, I had a couple of sessions. The car performed very well throughout the day, it handles really
well.
But...... when we came to start it, to drive off the trailer, it's a no go. Probably the starter solenoid.
Pete's latest video creation, (Pete at the wheel too) is HERE
And a few pics;

Apparently it had a dirty journey to the track on an open trailer, I think... Nice to meet team Striker btw.

You won't believe me but it was clean when I set off. My mate knows the shortest / s****iest route into Croft!
Nice pics Andy thanks.

fixing after it lost all oil presher on it first run 
after removing the sump to check the pick up pipe and the presher reles valve i then removed the cam cover and plugs t o check for damage and removed
the end plate to check the clutch/oil pump conction we stuck it back together with fresh oil and crossed fingers it started with 3bar  so 1 or 2
steddy lappes and then tim opened the taps and he had a grate day as it was his first time at croft so all had a good day
Is that Tim Hubbard's busa you're on about? I wandered over when you were fixing it, but it did sound like a terminal case of deadness
when we saw you. Was really surprised when we saw it back on track later on.. Well done with the repairs.

to the right hander at the end off the back strat we wear all thinking the worst
