If i put the roof down i can just catch them as they fall off.

Only if they fall of the front. I'll be looking for something that looks like this:



Yes, I know the E36 is RWD...

BTW Olly, have you removed your rear bumper yet? I need to re-fit mine as its wonky, big job?

Sure it's not the car that's wonky?

yup.

Depends on whether the two 'big bolts' will undo. If they do, then it's a couple more screws in the rear wheel arch and the bumper just slides off. If they don't, it aint ever coming off.

I've had one of each variety

Super, cheers G. Are the big ones on the rear, up underneath? I've got parking sensor so hopefully the connector isn't a bastid.

Yep - two big brassy jobbies. With hex or star heads, IIRC.

You brake for that corner?

The right hander in turn 1? The left is flat. Fairly sure the right isn't

Not 100% flat, no, but I certianly wasn't touching the brake.

I was racing there once with Club100, in the morning briefing they told the premier drivers that it was not flat out so do noth attempt it. Red rag to a bull, premier driver attempts it flat out and wiped out. Mind you I am assuming what we will be racing will not be as quick.

Is rain predicted?

Light showers maybe. Changable.

Should seperate the men from the boys. Should mean I get lapped a bit more than usual

http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=uk7dayx7... 2NH ;sess=#forecast

Means i'll spend qualy trying to work out the new lines So long as Olly doesnt crash in front of me again hopefully i can get a decent finish in race 1.

I like finding new lines in the wet. Here is one from Buckmore Park, I put that one down as "needs work"

I'm not sure I will

Thats why my profile says "ex kart racer". But I only did 3 1/2 year racing Club100 so its not like I maintained and raced my own kart. Club100 is the highest level of arrive and drive karting you can do, if you interested take a look http://www.club100.co.uk/

I have raced at most of the southern tracks
Buckmore Park
Bayford Meadows
Wilton Mill
Ellough Park
Lydd
Clay Pigeon (my favorite)
Rye House

Looking at the link above they have upped the engine size from 100cc (hence Club100) to 125cc since I used to race. I used to do 3 - 3 1/2 hour endurance races.

But on the flip side of that I have not been in a kart for 8 years, I don't go down the gym each week and don't look after myself. I will probably be dieing after 20mins

[ferrisbueller]

Some top notch talking down of results here. I can almost predict the podium based on that alone.

[Cotty]

When I raced Club100 there was a minimum weight limit of 80kg. If you weighed less than that you had to add lead to your kart.

When I raced I was 80kg's so the playing field was even. I might have put a few kg's on since then

Mind you im not adverse to a few mind games to play with the opposition
