All,
I won't be taking the Indy (to close to being ready for IVA) but I'll try and get over to say hello.
If I do I will wear my NASH MK Indy hat (sad git) so you can recognise me. and I will print out your Actavars for finding you.

Had a great day after a rocky start (popped a hose on the way to the track and had to fill it up with Evian !) thus missing the first run. Then
leaving the handbrake on for the start of the 2nd run, surprising how quick you can go with the handbrake applied...until the smoke started to fill
the cabin, I thought it was on fire but everything calmed down and from there on in it was business as usual.
Thanks to Steve for the lend of a few tools and nice to meet Ben & Nash who came out for a run later in the afternoon. I'll have some
videos up on youtube shortly

That was me moving by around the middle way of the last two vids (session 4), silver BEC 2 up I always did the first 2 laps slow, got a shift on, then
slowed down as getting hot.
The Busa is chasing me down in one, so I lost the airbrake (screen) and passenger later in the day so leveled the playing field as his car was
stripped right down so squeezed actually quite a bit more speed.... say 5mph on the straight.
Brilliant day for me.
Cheers Mark

Did you stop the car at one point on track....there was a seven parked in the gravel which brought an end to what would have been session 5 ?
Your slow laps explains why I went past you several times and then, all of a sudden, you found a whole heap of speed. Was very confused on the day as
I didn't know what engine you where running.
The Busa Westfield, your Turbo Blade and the Van Diemen where the only thinds all day which past me so I was pleased with the old boat anchor up
front. The gearbox has lost synchro in 2nd and is jumping out out of 3rd under heavy brakes but I had planned to refurb the box at BGH anyway ....I
have a set of 285 piper cams and verniers to go on which should bring the power up 20-25 BHP.

Hi Guys
Really nice to put faces to names yesterday and meet you all, had a short yet nice day. Thanks to the guys with the Global Light, who loaned me a
battery, I managed to get an un-expected sesssion in after my charging circuit failed. Look forward to the next time I can get there for a full day.
Regards
Barry

hey,
i was the other yellow one out with you guys too.
Sorry didn't get to comemeet and greet....my mates cars that were there with me had many issues we had to work on throughout the day
('77Celica, Xr2...and a golf o and the scooby had issues lol)
Was great fun though, not had a chance to watch all vids yet but i see me on one of them taking it easy.
Was very impressed by the bike powered ones, they do certainly shift.
Just shows i now need to get cracking with my new engine, the pinto will be coming out very soon.

Session 4 was actually the one I took Nash out in, who is similarly protected from the cold as I am  Power to weight suffered with both of us well
built men in the car. I think the yellow 7 appears in some other vids as well ?
