The weekends snett locost race video.

Hi the video from snett the weekend is up for viewing. Any of the other runners got them to show there was a few with cameras fitted.

LINK TO VIDEO

As usual very close good clean racing with a chance for any of the first 8 to win the race.

Cheers Matt

PS should have said video was from Alistair garrats orange car #4 . Welldone . You have had a 3rd now a 2nd so maybe a first next time at snett.

Hi just a quick mention as it is not evident on the video. Just how well a couple of people did in the race and qualifying. First simes43
for missing the official qualifying session so qualified out of session and had to start from the very back of the grid and came through to the front in a very short space of time and could well off won. Drive of the race .

And GazzaP who qualified in his highest place ever for locost in second. But due to minor techinicalities was unable to race.
( cant understand why. He still had two pistons in one piece. No commitment ). Commiserations Garry hopefully with 4 pistons you will be back out at lydden.

Cheers Matt

Enjoyed that! Love the four (or five) abreast down the straight, plus one on the grass!

It's a carb problem.

Massive hesitation out of russels points to the carb-urretor

Running 25 kgs over the minimum weight and very slow pick up points to too many carb-ohydrates

Seriously. I pulled a plug out after the qualifying (the plugs had done two track days and qualifying) and it was pristine so I thing I may be running a little lean. And you may be close with the short shifting. The rev counter bounces between 3 & 8000 so difficult to judge where to change (change light bounces on & off in sync).

However. fantastic battle (shame it was for 18th & not up the sharp end, eh)

cheers

Cheers ernie. Would have thought you could have hung on a bit till I got up to speed instead of dissappearing.

By the way, anyone who thinks us newbies dont use mirrors only need look at the last 5 minutes of part 3. Discression was the better option so I turned left over the grass. Although to be fair I didnt so much need my mirrors as I heard him coming (Cheers Ali)
