No the old girl's not dead, she's just had a mild stroke.
The oil pump drive had broken, Pete got the engine switched off very quickly,I think it'll be fine. New pump and drive ordered.

Sounds like you have been lucky Andy, handy place on track for it to happen aswell just in time to roll into the pits, but never good missing a
afternoon of track time

The white Caterham is a R400 duratech, 210bhp I think, and the orange Westy is a Megabusa 1.4 about 200bhp. Mixing with some quallity machinery there.
Of course, the real opposition died early on.

The Lavante is a regular at Croft, it's a very quick car with perhaps not the quickest driver. I know the two cars in the 3rd pic down caught
and passed him. Did you encounter him on track at all Rich?

I had a little chase with the MNR in my first session, would have made a good vid, but hadn't fitted the camera. I don't think
he'd have troubled you.
Oh, and the Pintosaurus lives again!
