Although not that clear I was on the rev limit in third a few times, n/s front smoking up on the penultimate bend then elected to take a little of the
bushes for a straight line to finish.
Still 2.3 seconds off a very well developed Westfield driven by race instructors.
Big issue with grip, spinning up in 1, 2 & 3 with 3.14 LSD on 20/54/13 slicks on the rear.
If anyone is interested I will be selling the body off the car next year as I have a lightweight fury body to drop on top, I am hoping the weight
penalty will be offset by the aero gains... Time will tell, have to pinch 7 inches out the chassis.
Ron champion, nose (a little wider than the book, Ali bonnet and scuttle, wings and stays to fit cortina uprights and rear wings, I will advertise
nearer the strip down stage so an early warning, am open to offers, I think around £75 is fair.

You could be one of 5 then, I am guessing not the girl
I had a good half an hour chatting with the owner, real pity that the engine was not playing ball being as to how he is off to Australia in 2 weeks
time.

Still getting the hang of it really, I can make a fast car, I cannot drive it constantly fast.
The previous run had the same time but the halfway split I was a second up but lost it on the return leg, this one the out lap was a little slow,
braked to early for the first bend, as a result carried to much speed and had to wrestle full lock
Also the place is not that safe, Jeff,s comment above about the S2000, the road is driven two maybe three times a year like this, if you muck up the
right hand side going out it drops you into trees and the road is dusty from the leaves dropping dirt on the ground, to be safe you cannot drive as a
track and use the full width, turn in tight, straighten up and boot it so I was forced into feeding the steering wheel, early poor position ruining
the complex, coming back was however very good
