[Terry Everall]

Terry, you didn't see it; you'd be embarrased to have it on your car.

How did the final (Brit Sprint Championship) run-off go? In common with most of the Westfield contingent I left before it was over, because of the time, and the distance home.

Nick took over 2 seconds off the old record but unluckily only came 2nd by 0.01 of a second to Stewart Robb in the Pilbeam. He still went 5 seconds faster than last year in the same car which is very impressive considering this was the first event and is still shaking off the cobwebs

[stephenh]

Thanks, John.

[Terry Everall]

Stephen if it worked I would like to see it. My car is not a visual ikon!

If no piccies can you descibe what was done

[SteveD]

Terry, you didn't see it; i would  be embarrased to be seen  your car.    

fixed that  

[stephenh]

Terry, I'm sure piccies will appear shortly.

Lets just say that the exhaust exited slightly above Gary's ear!!

You lot are letting your standards slip...... can't believe there hasn't been a picture of my handy work....  

Anyway I dont think a repack would have got me through the test, the difference in revs from 2/3s to 3/4 puts the cossie in growl mode ......

Negatives :-

1) cost

2) It hurt may ear

3) knocks off a few horses (I think)

4)Too many tractor jokes...  

Positives

1) It got me on track.

I was thinking of taking it back to Merlin after the test (I didn't have to pay for it straight away they said to try it first... very trusting), good job I didn't cus the MSA guy was straight over after practice to have a moan about the induction roar.

As already stated I think he (MSA environment guy) was wrong in his placement of the meter and high in his rpm figure (and inconsistent).

I know he has a difficult job in keeping the circuit safe from the council/ locals but I would like to see the results of a calibration on that meter.

Another point is that its not like a race where there are 2 dozen cars all on full chat at the same point on the circuit.

Did you tell him the true max rpm at noise test?  

[RobC]

It didn't seem to matter what you told him... 5.2 seemed to be a stock answer for most

[mhc]

I have some nice pics of garrys periscope exhaust.

[stephenh]

2nd timed run was dry as a bone m8. My word, there's some effers this year
