2009 Racers roll call.
Hi
So it's only 8 weeks till the start of some championships and every other forum has the same thread running so thought we needed one here also.
 So come on then where are you racing and what you racing in.
Ill get it started.
Racing the Bio fulled Locost for Lewisham college. And blagging as many races in other cars as i can get as usual hopefully in the 750 kits and the
new CSCC sevens series.
Cheers Matt

Hi Mark. I hope your wrist gets the all-clear and that Junior Glover likes the sound of racing engines as it would be great to have you back out
there with us.

I'll be out in my ST Locoblade in a) the RAF Motorsports Association Race Challenge, b) maybe a few rounds of the Northern Saloon & Sports
Car Championship, and c) possibly some of the 'Magnificent Se7ens' series if they coincide with the RAF races...
But firstly I need to get the car in one piece then drag it over to Procomp to get it set up

will do some but not all kit car races, will miss the first one cos snet is so bloody cold in march and missing one in august for family hols but
should do most. I have a neil roper built injected engine coming so hoping for power and reliability!
apparently the new fiesta cannot take a duratec so ford are investing in a 1600 performance version, and no not just the turbo! managed to persuade
jenvey to do some special 40mm direct to head bodies teeheehee

I'll be racing in the BARc Westfield Champs.
Out of interest, what sort of power will your engine be kicking out? Do you run an accusump to hold it all together?

POWER !!!!!!!
Custardtart
Had 185bhp on the carbs so will be looking for 195+ out of the Roperspecial. Or if we are talking 750mc kitcar (mildly cooked 1800zetec producing
185bhp) cloudcuckoo figures about 240bhp.
Yes i do run an accusump and yes they go bang without one, at least 6 times before i work out how to plumb it in properly

Had the results of my CT scan today and my wrist isn't healing so got to have another operation to graft some bone onto it and replace the self
tapper they put in in August with a slightly larger one. I'm seeing the consultant again in a couple of weeks to sort out the details for the
surgery and expect to be out for at least the first half of the season (he reckons all season but we'll see). As you can guess I'm gutted,
but I'll carry on with the rebuild in the hope that I can get out asap.
