Terry Everall Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Results are available but dont know if Tigger has them yet John Hoyle back in competition went very well and set a new record Paul Aspden was a no show due to a blown engine whilst testing( so I was told) Steve Everall had oil/smoke which was traced to an overfull dry sump tank Kev Jones had a few technical issues ( starter motor and the rear brakes locked up) and things got worse when Paul Jones hit the tyre wall hard and damaged the turbo busa, taking the offside wheel off and twisting a few bits as well Dels late build programme worked and he had a good battle with Gary Bunn double driving Any Hargreaves and Matt Turner had a great battle chasing Andy Rushworths old record Myself and Tim Nunn had a great battle chasing the target time and setting a new record with Tim getting a great win I need a bit more seat time but was happy with the new car and was close with 43.79 secs time which was just 0.01 sec off the target and my trickshift would not work Great start to the season for the northern lads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 From the banking above the esses we watched three cars, yours included appear to go through a similar process; taking the the painted kerb on the exit to the final "straight", they all seemed to stay on the kerb a fraction to long. The OS front would be on Tarmac, but the OS rear went from kerb on to grass and pitched the car sideways. Of the three cars that seemed to hit the same spot, it looked like two, (yours possibly included?) tried to catch the first violent yaw. Both hit the inner tyre wall in a similar position, one - the Capri, (wheter by accident or design) seemed to pitch it into a full spin rather than catching it, and got away with it. Just missing the tyre wall (it appeared) and going through the timing beam/chequered line backwards. A fourth car, the silver Clio, also took the kerb in a similar way, but this time kept both OS wheels on the grass, exiting the kerb, that pulled the whole car sideways to the left - though the driver managed to keep it straight and ended up, all four wheels on the grass, heading to the finish line.

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Just to add, such a shame, the car looked and sounded fantastic out on the track; really seemed to pick up speed off the start line and into that first right hander well.

Terry Everall Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 Just looked at your data Kev that turbo is a beast and maybe giving big power but not at right time on a short tricky circuit Its an easy solution Stick an 08 blade in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onliest Smeg David Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I'm sure AdamR will have captured some better photos! AND many thanks to team Everall for taking the time to chat to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Nice shots David - I have a few I'll try and pop up later... Was a good day out! Pretty shocked by how quick the top cars are off the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I'm resisting the urge to post up too many as the WSCC calender always needs shots that haven't been on the Boardroom. (I've been caught in that trap before ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 It's probably a year or maybe two since I've really spectated at a non club sprint; it was fascinating to see how much the technology being used has pushed on at this level in the last few years. Interesting to see the number of (kit/special) cars deploying launch control etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
