Yeh sounds good. I'm taking my J15 as one of the demo cars for Sylva, doing passenger rides, and hopefully getting a few as well. I think its
going to be a busy day on track!
We will have two cars doing passenger rides on the day and two cars on the stand.so come and see us for some fast laps round Blyton park
We will be there with our race truck so if anyone has any issues with there cars please come and see us.
Our workshop is only 20 mins away so if we can't fix it trackside we will do our best to go back to he workshop and gt the parts to get you back
on track or the road
Had a great time spitting flames out the back of the car while taking passengers round. The Phoenix got a lot of attention and I did brisk business in
the afternoon with Pax laps. I spent a long time chatting to Jeremy Philips about his new J15 and Vectis as well as him admiring the Phoenix which
made me chuffed to say the least.
Blyton is a great track for kitcars and I'll probable do their Sprints next year. There where a large number of manufactures, which was good,
and there with some issues during the day.....two Thruxtons where recovered, 1 Cobra went into the cornfield and Z Cars BEC Elise caught fire. I also
caught and passed the AB Sabre twice (he wasn't happy) and almost crashed into the back of the Grinnal (driven by Mr Grinnal) who decided,
rather than move over, to brake test me halfway down the straight. Apart from that it was all good, the car ran brilliantly all day and got lots of
comments.

It was a great day. I volunteered to help Steve on the Fury stand and give a few passenger laps. I might have even converted a CEC guy to the dark
side for his next project.
It's a really good format and I think it'll get better and could be the future for kit car shows. It's weather dependent being out
door, which could be a problem. I also got the impression some people were reticent to ask for a ride.
Thanks to Jeff for the ride. Brutal power delivery and also interesting comparing the "swings and roundabouts" between high power and
lightweight cars back to back... shame you were prevented from taking up the reciprocal offer. (To be fair to AB they were using a customers Sabre
and treating it gently after they'd broken a gearbox on their own car)
Well done to the organisers, circuit and exhibitors... and those who came along to make it worthwhile.

Glad you enjoyed your Pax lap....I was too scared to get in your 'beast'....
Interesting that they where using the customer's Sabre....obviously it wasn't fitted with the optional mirrors given the reticents to move
over.

Just a quick one to say great to meet up with lots of you at Blyton, apologies for having to withdraw Lees race Sabre at lunchtime, this car had done
all the dyno development, track testing and racing this year and developed a 3rd gear fault. Initially we were happy to short shift around it but
later when tHe gear broke up it was game over or risk a blow up and depositing oil - which would have caused problems for everyone else. A big thank
you to Hadrian and Chris for stepping in at short notice with their own car and taking people out. Whilst their car is fitted with the stock mirrors
they probably didn't take into account the sheer power and closing speed of your car Jeff, they were very conscious of the days brief of not
driving above their limitations and risking an incident and in fairness don't have your experience on track.
For those that we're hoping to go out in a Sabre and didn't get the opportunity, we are in the process of finishing a dedicated demo car
and will be arranging some test days shortly
Loved the engineering and install of the ARB set up on your car Adi and will give you the heads up when we are out next so you can have a play
Andy
Very diplomatic Andy, I was only teasing....Shame we didn't get a chance to chat, the chassis and the cars looked great, Jeremy Philips and I
had a long chat about the quality of the chassis. The guys driving the Sabre pulled over once they realised I was there, didn't seem to look
too often though.
There where a number of cars who's mirrors didn't seem to work, the yellow three wheeler was the worse though.
And very interested in Adi's ARB....might need you to do one like that for mine
I wish I could have attended this as to me it sounds like the ideal format for a kit show (weather dependent as already said). An imminent baby
arrival prevented me going, but if its on again next year we will be there.
NEW danST WEBSITE NOW LIVE! Bike carbs, throttle bodies and more......

No worries Jeff - I did come over to catch up but you were in conversation at the time, then it all got a bit hectic. Car look s very well sorted and
blisteringly quick, hopefully there will be a few more of this type of event where we can catch up properly. From our perspective this format makes
more sense than a static show and Steve Hole and the staff did a cracking job on the day.
Right - off to rebuild a gearbox now .........
Regards
Andy

Short video with Adi in the car.....113.8MPH max speed and 1.4G lateral max G. I ran out of space on the datacard and this was the only video (not to
self clear card before going!)

Must pay attention.
