Likewise - maybe a bit before.

Garage 9a?

[ctsdave]

I think so Keith - 9 something anyway lol.. It's on the 750mc website though. I'm hoping (for a change) it doesn't snow tonight as I'm guessing leaving 6am tomorrow I'll be about the first on the local roads lol... I must remember my overalls though (now wishing I'd bought some thermal overalls when I had the chance lol).

Come on then, how did it go?

[Guillotine]

All cars got out (and back)

Conditions were very cold with some showers (inc hail!)

When Mike Saunders took the Flag, the guys were 7th on track, but before handicap.

Well done to Graham, Mike, Deano, Darren and Fred. The cars looked great out there against a really mixed bag of competition.

considering we had 5 tvrs, the sum total of failures were one throttle spring, a plug lead coming off and a snapped alternator belt! fairly remarkable. Dom's mg team in the same garage blew onw motor, and set fire to the brakes on another.


the biggest problem we had were cold tyres..., oh and a very slippy pit lane exit

having all 5 tivs running at the end was a result in its self !!!

[darren no 7]

thanks every one for a good weekend yes it was cold and the pit exit was very slippery as i found out going out for my first stint,just checked the front tracking and its towing in 22mm think i may have bent something !

May have been a factor in your tyre wear Darren?

[wadsapple]

sounds like a good result for all well done who did the timing for the race do we know as it was not TSL ?

[grumpy bear]

Watched it all from Farm. Only action I had marshaling all day was pushing Piers off the track during Qualy. Bleeding cold standing out there in the wind though.

There was a moment for team TVR at about hour 5 when it was dropping a mix of rain and hail and there was a bit too much orange about.

The team know what I mean

Great result lads, they were second on track for a bit against team Saker!

[darren no 7]

I was waiting for the in bored to come out didn't know if anyone had wets on

Oh no! I hope mike didn't damage those beautiful wheels! Is anyone going to do a full race report/ publish photos? Really wanted to go but was a bit busy this weekend. Glad all TVRs came back running well - sounds like you guys gave us some great publicity!

[Graham]

Mal was on the bank, but mike herring was there and he has promised do photos.

[APMAUTO]

well done to all who were involved
