So are we just "Anyone else" on the paddock plan?

Rob,

The hidden columns are in the 1st worksheet, not the one titled source, and when you unhide them they show the average for Locost was calculated on just 4 races, and it doesn't say which venues these were, or when. Most of the other series are calculated on only 2 or 3 races. Not a good basis to compile a league table I would suggest....

I'll be there testing in the afternoon, having missed the last few races - had to spend the money on new rad and diff refurb (thanks Matt & Ivan) - can't wait to get back in the car


Have I missed something, or have we not been allocated anywhere in the paddock?
Can't imagine we'll be popular parked up on the circuit entry road...

The anyones

All,

You must not look at this with a negative slant.
By putting "Anyone" what Robin is saying is this is the friendly area where "anyone" is welcome. Of course other formulas may welcome everyone but we welcome anyone which by definition means everyone. So if anyone can plot up anywhere, everyone and anyone is welcome....I think thats right!!!!!

Of course if anyone wishes to reply to this everyone is welcome to.

Hi

Although on second glance the area is clearly marked as OVERFLOW. Now that surely must refer to the good old leaky X/FLOW.

What,s going on with the formula Vee. They have two more drivers than the grid allows and are given a heat unless the numbers drop back to 26. Surely they would normally of just had two reserves.

Cheers Matt

I feel the untimed practice and the heat & final may be pay back for making the vees qualify on saturday at Anglesey when they raced twice on the sunday only.

I've had it ! This season is now over for me. fitted new clutch, serviced carb, engine back in start her up, initially looks fine. Then oily smoke seen coming from oil catch tank breather. Lot's of crank pressure. Compression test all at 110 or there abouts. Looks like my engine needs a rebuild. The budget will stretch to that ( hopefully as long as Matt does me a deal !! but thats my season over as the budget is then gone. So pissed off. giving up motorsport is a serious option.

Anyone want to buy a locost??

Craig ( may be back next year, maybe not ! )

Hi

Yep Mark has his engine and it should be fitted and running by now. Ray picked it up on Sat morning.

I am all ready to go. Just been watching the wet Anglesey video to get me in the mood so six inches of rain in my seat wont come as a surprise .

Cheers Matt

The engine is in and working nicely although i will be running it in during qualifying so will not be setting any blinding lap times.

Rain could improve things though

Hi

What with it being heats at Cadwell I bet there's more than a few who are going to try taking advantage of the extra track time.
Anyone going to guess what time would put you in pole for the heat. A 1.49.5 I reckon. Mind it would help if i was running a lap timer .

Cheers Matt

We seem to have solved most of the new car's riddles this time round.

Building: a healthy points tally in the Locost Championship

I'd like to register for associate membership of the engine rebuild club. I've had a go at rebuilding the head on mine for the first time ever. New springs, re-lapped valves, replaced a bent valve, de-carbon etc.

Fingers crossed.
