Thanks, Unfortuneatly I missed that one, although did hear it go bang from where I was standing near the last corner.
Have you plucked up the courage to have a look at it yet?

It may be an optical illusion, but the front camber looks all wrong on Jamie's Cerb in that pic..

I had a quick look underneath at the track and it's not good! The sump is in 2 halves and the block isn't too pretty either! I'm leaving it in the trailer for this week and going to put everything I've been meaning to onto e-Bay to raise some funds lol... I will have stripped it before Oulton and will decide what route to take from there. My thinking at the moment is that is I can save the crank (it is steel but still doubtful) it will stay 4ltr, if I need a new crank I'll go 5ltr so that I've got the torque to keep pace with the other class B's in a straight line! I will post some pics once I've stripped it down though - but there is one on my facebook page...

The bolt that locks the camber adjustment came loose, so it had active camber wink

Doesn't sound good. Have had similar with the sleeved quick adjusters on mine (but never ghat bad!) - the trick is to make sure there is no powder coat under the rose joint lock nut, loctite and a locking bolt through the other side. Of course the Cerb set up may be completely different....

Get your friendly fabricator to replace the sleeve with a threaded boss and hey presto no more problems
(except making the camber harder to adjust) which may not suit some ex tuscan racers wink
