only been trying for 2 1/2 years now    .4 of a second off it last time    

The captain was going very well today in his old pinto lapping 7 seconds faster than the cateringvan csr260 that was dawdling round      

still say (and I may have mentioned this once before) its about time he had an extra 100 bhp to raise the bar a bit

looking at the first and second pic's

i'd say both of there times would have been quicker if they weren't towing tintops behind them  

Jeff with the new set up  , fresh good working slicks i think the record will go tomorrow mate

i'll be there after dinner by then you will be wanting a 1:28

Forgot to mention, Colin's busa died in his last session. Wasn't sure what it was. No oil or smoke, so hoping for just an electrical gremlin.    

Shrewd move by Colin, taking the sound test man for a ride eh?          Think it's called befriending the enemy!

its a pinto thing they spent the first ten years pulling a caravan and its a hard habit to break

nautical experience Vs's Lucky wets

Weather for tomorrow was one big rain cloud before, now its got a bit of sun on it.

The Lucky Wets could be working their magic

I think it died on track. Turns over but doesn't fire, hopefully its just electrical.

Col didn't seem too phased, that engines done millions of trackdays, so he wasn't suprised if its finally expired.

A couple of laps on board HERE  Note lack of oil light flickering!
