Wow, that was close at 3m 35sec in. Soiled undergarments? I don't think the guy in the D-Type looking thing liked you much Perry. He didn't seem to like the hairpin either for that matter. What the heck did he have in that, as it seemed pretty quick on the straights for an old timer thing?

[wadsapple]

yep some good close battling into/outof hairpin also hectic on the exit to gerards.i,m pretty sure he said it was an iron small block chevvy 5.0lt i hope you get some racing like that in your first year you will be hooked.hows the engine rebuild etc coming on ?

Screwed at the moment (and not in a nice way). Struggling to find a long journal crank and rapidly running out of people to ask. Even the worst case scenario is worse than I thought - 14/16 week lead time to manufacture a bespoke one! That would put some serious pain and frustration on my race season this year. A bit glum right now to say the least. Positive Mental Attitude and a bit of luck required I think.

Sorry to hear that,i asked my contacts when bill was looking for one a month or so ago with no luck.Have you had a word with Bill he may have had a spare lead.

That was great Perry although i think the Porkie driver was a bit strong at the end that close to the wall

yes it was a over the top finish, both drivers had there licences taken away, can't remember if it was three months or three races.

Indeed I'd probably have to have my fist taken out of the other drivers face too !!!

It was a really crappy end to what had been a great race up until then, I remember watching it live.

there is no excuse for deliberate bumping, and the results are very unpredictable.. everyone makes the odd mistake but deliberately hitting or pushing another car should be dealt with harshly.

You might think giving someone a love tap is ok, but you might get an over reaction in which things escalate very quickly. not a good idea at 150mph...

+1 I'm all for some good hard racing but deliberate hitting @ silly speeds would not be taken kindly

This is a good one featuring Mr Knight,me and mike at 1:45 for 20secs and a really good catch and pass with Tim and Dean later......

Some good quick laps in the 1:49's there Perry

[wadsapple]

best from me was 1:49.124 on lap 7, to be fair it was that car mostly. one of the easiest cars to get in and drive fast from the get go,i shall really miss that car,that said only till i meet up with it & it's new driver on a grid then i will probably be wishing they were not so quick.
