Bumpy bumpy. Might still be places available. Go to the TVRCC club shop to find out.

Event is fully booked.

I've paid my outstanding balance and booked into the Brackenborough for the night before. Nice hotel but last orders for food is early (8ish IIRC) so will be heading up a bit earlier than last year.

See ya'll there.

Awesome.

Peter is camping again the night before so we should have some prime real estate in the paddock again.

Time is moving us closer to the day.

I now have an essential site meeting on the Wednesday morning that I said I have to leave at noon on the dot

Sorted out my dash pod - new fixing screws for the screen and frame, dry joints on the leds fixed.

My new tank plate is being modified but now struggling to get some PTFE coated cables. UK suppliers seem completely incapable or unwilling to deal with a small order (over a week so far with two suppliers waiting for a price including me calling them three times). Ordered some off evilbay from China but won't be here until after Cadwell.

Replacement driveshaft and CV's ready to be swapped out.

Need to fix and fit the battery cover.

After that, and depending on the weather, swap the boots to the 16-inch spiders with TD tyres.

Parental units coming over tomorrow so should get driveshaft and battery cover done with me pops.

Just got the battery cover - apaulinging repaired by me - to fit. I hope to get the TD wheels checked for balance tomorrow. If the weather forecast is dry(ish) I'll swap them on on Tuesday and fit the battery cover at the same time.

Then just need to brim the tank, fuel containers, tools, pack the car and drive to the hotel.

[mk1fan]

Wheels balances checked on the TD wheels. All good so fitting tomorrow afternoon as weather looks good as Phazed said.

The game of hide and seek commences

MSV briefing keeps punting me off after wathing / listening to 9 of the items.

Will go to the desk first thing.

Wrapped up in the hotel now. Maybe a breakfast sub from the industrial estate next door if they are open at 07:00.

[mk1fan]

Great day. Perfect track conditions. Company wasn't too shabby.

Hopefully some photos and vidoes being loaded up as I type.

Roll on Donnington in August.

In the interim, I'll be looking to do a day in June and July. Mallory Park, Brands or Snetterton are my thoughts at the moment.
