Well done mate

Nice one Derek, you will have to extend your crowded mantle piece to accommodate the new trophy.

I got knocked out in the semi of NSCC again. Great weekends racing.

It's nearly 7pm and still waiting for the last final of the day then I can collect my well earned trophy.

Very well done Derek.

Let me know when we can get together somewhere slightly further down south and I can run the car on the track again?

Your time is safe for now!

[QBee]

You've inspired me so much Derek that I have booked myself a track evening at Cadwell Park tomorrow, as they still had space and its a dry forecast. Can't wait!!

[DangerousDerek]

Priceless, worth the wait.

Way-to-go, Fella...Brilliant.!!

Those reaction times,, having had a go at Shakey,, I'm sure it actually takes more than 1/2 a second to lift the clutch,,

I'm sat here after Hethel,, buzzing my tits off,,, hahaha in fact a glass of Red and I'm floating now. fk me I enjoy myself on here.
Great times Derek, really shows what you've achieved with your car,, what's your views on how the roll cage is impacting on the times,,, ? Or just on any difference in feel,, does it feel taught and solid?

The reaction times at York are taken from the 3rd amber which is 0.5 to the green so that would be a perfect reaction. Where you see me running in the 0.6's shows that I am probably up against stiff competition and trying to gain advantage.

I drove the car 140 miles on Friday night and must admit it does feel a lot stiffer and sure on the road. I even set my Nitrons fairly soft and the ride was nice.

[ClassiChimi]

Yep, I get all that. Increadable.
