Sounds like it was a good day and you enjoyed it. Pics of the trophy?

It's just a slightly bigger version of the one posted earlier.

And then there were three.

Phil has been stripping Mister Two (the blue one!) all week end ended up with a shell, which he then proceeded to fill with lots of unwanted metal, old brake discs, standard suspension, odd springs etc.

Weighed it in for £65, which is better then a kick in the teeth I guess.

The man at the scrapyard said it would be flat within the hour

RIP Mister Two, you gave us some good times, may your metal be put to good use.

Wahey, just picked up a copy of Redline and there's a picture of our car cocking a wheel in their short review of round 2

Also booked a trackday at Snetterton for next week which should be fun.

15th July

We have a trackday booked at Snetterton tomorrow so today has been spent doing little checks on the car and preparation for the trackday. A lot of people ask what preparation is necessary for a trackday so here are the things we have checked today:

The Weather. As we have a choice of tyres, it is important we know what the weather is going to be like in order that we can take the right ones. Fortunately tomorrow is set to be warm and dry so we will be going on our R888s, the normal track tyre. If the track was far away. We’d be driving on road tyres, but as Snetterton is only down the road, we have changed the tyres today:



Whilst the wheels were off, we checked the brakes to make sure there was plenty of pad left. There is!



I then checked the coolant, and as you can see from the picture, there is plenty.



And the oil, which was a little on the low side:



So we chucked some more oil in:



And checked a few minutes later – now there’s plenty!



I also added a purchase from the weekend, A sticker of Snetterton circuit:



Phil then fitted the harnesses to the passenger side, (Usually we don’t sprint with a passenger seat in, but we will use it for trackdays). Today he has also utilised some trim from the old cars in order to clean up any sharp edges in the interior usually covered by carpet. Currently he is sorting out a leak we have discovered when it rains!

Unfotunately Snetterton is the only track we are driving this season, the rest are airfields or at least don't have a sticker, like Teeside and Barkston :/

Plus as most of the competitions we do are sprints, the sticker would look odd as it will have a start and a finish, not be continuous! I'd love it if they did the sprint track ones though.

Bah! That isn't good! I think you should leave a comment on how to improve the service "GET TRACK STICKERS" hehe!

Okay the other thing is to paint him orange and black I can support you with those colours!
