Well, weekend went fairly well. Bar doing 3 miles on 3 wheels, and the next run with no brakes....
Writeup later!

Got some pictures from the end of last year from Minehead and Kirton too

The satisfactory whine of the straight cut gear

It will with 10krpms on the input shaft

Hey, the old shock oil doesn't look too bad for 2 years of abuse, sure, it's a little dark, but it's clear, not cloudy and no real debris in there either, gotta be good, right?



I mean, even the seals and shims look spotless, next to no wear on them at all



And the new oil is just the same colo.....oh, wait, maybe the old oil was a little tired then....

Cracking shots there, and those shocker seals were remarkably good! I seem to remember the fluid not smelling all that pleasant when I ripped a shock open for replacement inserts.

A lad around my Halls of Res at college has a mini with straight cut gears - he has far more cash than sense and it makes a bloody racket. I applaud the ability to bear the sound on long journeys, just not when that journey takes him by my bedroom window at 2am.

[Rippthrough]

I'll try not to drive past your window at 2am with it then!

Although I think you'd have more problems than just the gear noise if I did...

Well, the site was better suited to swimming today - pressing the throttle pedal down in any gear at all just meant the mud flew higher - the car didn't go any faster

Unfortunately, we had trouble with the alternator on the second run, which lost us 10 minutes whilst we bodged it back together with side cutters and tie-wraps.

However, the next few laps we barely made it around - literally creeping along sideways on full lock at 1mph through a few sections they were so slippery, and then just to top it off, on the very last lap, either the gearbox or the clutch plate let go with a bang whilst launching off the start line

Bah!
Also means no PPC in the Park this year again

Just a photo so I can remember what the car looked like when it was clean



That's the lightest bit of rain we got!

Well, up until the racing finished, when in the usual UK-weather trick, the rain stopped and the sun came out.

Extra points if you can spot the vital performance upgrade it's had!
