JeffC Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 yes thanks all for assistance today, really appreciate it, after the week from hell today didnt get any better feeling sick all morning follwed by rain on the first practice so setting a lap on 888s was dificult and the rear brake pipe springing a leak from the master cylinder didnt give me confidence , I ended up coming off on the back straight after failing to slow down to take tower bend launching straight across the gravel trap and landed in the corn field race was awseome, the start was intimidating, but managed to climb from 11th up to 6th place in the first 3 laps despite having a very spongey brake pedal but a missfire on the engine called it a day for me, I think its the trickshifter cut playing up,plan is to crack on dirst thing in the morn and bleed the brakes remove the trickshifter and get the car ready for second race, reckon I will be setting off from 15th on the grid so should be intersting noticed the guy in in the sylva set a new lap record for the bike engined class at 1.30.36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
