May Road Run - 8th May 2011

[6C4GTS]

As our good mate flip has set the date for the May Track Event I will run a complementary road run to fill the gap in May for the road warriors before Lee's Clyde Valley run in June.

Route will be the usual mix of twisties and fast A roads so terrain to suit all.

OK, but unless I'm missing something there's no date or confirmed venue in there - there even talk of Kaimes

Knockhill is 12th may, it's on the sticky above!
I can't go boohoo, but this road run should be brilliant!

But isn't the 12th of May the Dreadnought track night?
I was going to do that anyway - I thought this was another session

Road runs over 30-odd miles aren't really comfortable or practical (although I could take the Masser I guess), so I'll stick with the track session.

I'm a maybe. I may decide the car is too slow and try and scrounge a passenger ride

Mine is solid bushed, Rose mounted track spec too but thankfully comfort and practicality come second to the fun........... I'm not too old I'm not too old Yeeeeaaaaah ;-)

Can't make this one unfortunately. Piping at Gourock Highland games that day :-(
I'll be on the lookout for a June run though!

o/t the rose-joints aren't the problem (but I do have 26 on the chassis excluding ball-joints and not a bush in sight). Without side windows or roof the buffetted does get tiring, but without the luxury of power steering and servo brakes the old limbs start to ache too much after a while. Steering force required is akin to a rental go-kart (actually much more at slow speeds) and most folks would be getting sore muscles in a kart after half and hour solid. It all adds up to 30 miles being about as much as I'd want to drive without a rest. That really is as far as someone of my advancing years would want to attempt; runs don't hold much attraction in the Tuscan unless threy're real short.....I am too old I am too old

...and I've never felt the Masser was a 'run' type of car for some reason.

Will you're right that sounds like track only! The Maser would fit right in and you'd be made most welcome :-)
