Clanfield Winter Series Round 2

[Adrian E]

Was a great day's racing  So nice to be out on track again for the 1st time in months!  Even better that we had a laugh huddled under the Xray team gazebo to keep warm 

The 808s were performing well in the cold weather - no reliability worries whatsoever

Apologies due for a couple of schoolboy errors on my part when getting lapped by the top 3, although I blame the marshal for putting me down right in front of Eliot    Hopefully it all balanced out    Must remember to wear a peaked cap for the final instead of my winter head gear - I couldn't see where my car was pointing over a quarter of the lap with the sun low in the sky, wasn't even sure which car was mine at one point!

Happy days - hope Slough runs on the 17th

Was a good day & you finished 4th so a good day for you Adrian. The new 808 10 spec felt as if on rails so very happy there trading lap times with elliot & kev so pleased with its performance. Caps are always a must at clanfield especially this time of year as sun is so low.

Slough all being well like you said on the 17th if this snow & cold weather ever goes.

Had no idea I was that far clear of 5th - thought I was still battling with Charles who had been running 4th/5th with me!

Well its clear to see you getting faster in your old age well done dude and from the pictures I have seen of the track you all did extreamly well. Top result guys well done

PS bren you slipping mate round 1 first place  and round 2 third best you pull up them sox fella 

[Bren]

ahhh the armchair racer mocks   It was one of those races that could of gone three ways, i led for a good five minutes feeling very comfy but the randomness of lapping always throws in problems. THe same happened for all of us with back marker problems, marshalls etc . Had a great race & enjoyed it, just happy in the new chassis package & my driving pace has moved up that next stage which boads well for this year.

Best you start saving & come racing again Mr Pirate

Best you start saving & come racing again Mr Pirate

That's what I said to him yesterday - although I did also say he'd still be rubbish      

Good job that SA sense of humour can take a joke 

[MR Piraterc]

I am enjoying beeing nice and warm  watching you lot go out and do battle

[Adrian E]

I might get round to cleaning the mud off the car today - can't go anywhere with all the snow we've had overnight!

[Bren]

blasted most of the mud off sunday but its to cold to bring myself to go in the garage & finish off. Our snow battle comes today & over the next few days when im back at work. Be fun driving a fire engine in that not! the paper work will take longer than the fun 18 tons sliding god help me.

[Adrian E]

I can remember trying to drive a fire engine onto weigh pads (without water in it, only kit loaded) and it was not the easiest thing to do - they're not exactly linear on the old power delivery, especially being auto boxes!  I kept spitting the weigh pads out the back with all the torque!  Had to make sure nobody was stood behind it after the 1st attempt!
