Bummer last minute news.Darren there is a rule in the regs saying you must have raced at least twice before been allowed to race at Spa. I assumed you or Dean knew that and had it passed with the office. The rule is so the powers at be can assess your driving standards as I understood it and to stop people just entering Spa and not racing at any other CSCC round. Although I do know of a few people who only do Spa and don't race back at home unfair as i see it to single one out and not all. Will you still be coming over. We always have a cold beer in the fridge if you do.

Two things going on at the same time, one) a bolt sucked in from throttle boddies resulting in a bent rod, split liner , piston etc damaged , head work needed and valves. Two) that unseen devil ....................................DET you can clearly see it on both pistons. That was caused by me trying to ring all from the engine and going over the top a bit. It will go back in the hole later this week with luck and be used in anger with CSCC race at Combe on 12th August against two other rapid Tuscan's in Future Classic's can't wait. Bill & Stewart see you both there.
