Any N. East bods want a power run on MacDonald racing's rolling road? (Lanchester)
Pete has booked his Civic in for Saturday 29th Aug, 9-30.
Price for one car is £40, but if we can get six it drops to £30. At present there are three people showing interest. (2 to 5 cars, £35)
Macdonald racing
The local WSCC group have used this rolling road several times, and have found it gives reliable and repeatable figures.
I'm in, providing I can get the engine back together in time.

its a bit far for me to hop 
Mike, get fettling..
TDC, hop off! 
..it's not that far, your car would be nicely warmed up. 
i doubt it would get warmed up on the trailer
are you taking the anchor??

Nearly forgot about this... It's definately on, the Civic is booked in.
Anyone else.

My new engine still isn't fitted, so I'm going to have to cry off I'm afraid.
Unless that makes the difference to numbers / costs, in which case I'll get back in the garage!

No probs, I think there's only a couple of takers. We'll be there no matter what..
One last bump..
See you there 9.30 in the morning Andy. Running a bit rich at 1/4 throttle but should be ok for a run up.
Do they do ignition/bike carb tuning?
Many takers?

It's only a power run, no tweaking. You can ask about setting up your bike carbs, but I doubt if
they'll do them. ... more a magnetos sort o' place.
How did you get on Andy,what power was the old Civic putting out.

167bhp. (About 10 up on a standard 1.6 Vtec) It sort of fits in with what he's seeing on
the race track. The 1.6 Fiesta cant have that much more can it... 
Steve on the lookout for brake upgrades. Wonder if fourteen inch drums will fit the MNR. 
And mine made 167 as well! Bit sooner than Petes tho...
I've put the video on YooHootube, click on my blog below if you want to see it

...maybe the rollers only go up to 167...
Pete's at the kart track now, utilising considerably less than 167bhp. He will be shattered by noon tomorow. (24hr kart race)
Hope he wakes up for the trackday at Croft on Monday!
