SMRC Sports & Saloons 14th July

[Hollowpockets]

Tomorrows races for me will be at 12:25 and 16:25 for any locals who fancy a day out.

Just home from the testing session today and mega chuffed with the car, following the weight loss and running correct boost I went and banged in a dozen laps equalling or a few tenths better than my 54.8 PB, then two laps from the end I pushed a bit harder and with a little help from the high boost button to start a flying lap I managed a 53.6!

There is tough competition tomorrow but with a bit of luck I'll be up on that podium again! Can't wait!!!

how did the race pan out ?

[Hollowpockets]

Will do a write up tomorrow as I'm just home and knackered but the short of it was, very wild race, 5 cars crashed out, two or three other collisions, a blown engine and oil all over the track, I had a misfire and then a boost hose burst but managed to salvage a second place finish, then a failed repair on the hose meant I limped round in 56's rather than 54's and finished 3rd. Happy but gutted, should have had at least 1 win!

bugger - more boost issues !

which boost pipe was it ? front turbo ?

[Hollowpockets]

Rear turbo to intercooler but I'll be getting both front and rear rubber hoses changed for alloy, can't be done with another boost related failure.

Very common failure

[Gadgeroonie]

did you get any video ?

[Scooby P1]

Video.....how about this for video?

Recorded you on TV Graham from the Knockhill race!!

Folks,

Couldn't be hooped with a write up for this, it would have taken an age with so much happening during the race, soooo I suggest watching motors TV tonight at 6:55 for my second pair of 2/3rd place finishes.

The hour slot only covers 4 races rather than the 6 it did last time, so should be more coverage and better coverage, I also lead most of race 1 so expect plenty noble shots, until lap 11 anyway when it all went tits up and my pipe burst.

Enjoy

Graham
