Pilot Pete Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 If people are buying new bridgestone slicks, I think I'd be up for a set, mine are probably done now. Not sure I'm gonna bother entering this race like, I dont think were "there" yet, although I spose its just harmless fun. Harv, I think Jeff's on about doing the one on saturday the 6th December, could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilot Pete Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Just looking at times here: Best world formula: Feb - 50.529 Mar - 48.753 April - No World Formula's May - 48.942 June - 48.968 July - 50.552, possibly dampish Aug - 49.446 Sept - 49.642 October - 49.829 Nov - No world formula's. I dont think were that far off, dippy was doing low 51's I think and I reckon I was a bit over a second a lap quicker, possibly 2 seconds???.

Luke Algar Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Mark, Some brake cleaner or chewing gum remover will remove tyre stains normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
