Looking out the window today, I reckon we got very lucky with the weather yesterday!
There were loads of race teams there yesterday, time attack cars etc etc. Quite a lot of Westys, Caterhams and Elises too, which made it quite a
pacey day.
Had a few attempts to stay with the bigfoot Striker.. After a few laps he usually gradually dissapeared into the distance. Far too much power Richard!
Only took a handfull of pics, a couple below, and there could be some vid in the next few days too.
The rest are HERE

 Your both running slicks!!
What power plant and horses are you pushing bigfoot?
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
Please read my ring story:

I have a small video of Bigfoot R1 on the rollers the day before the track day.
All those tweaks must have worked

a bit more would be nice
its a 5vy and made 153bhp the other day, down on yamaha figures and what some people have but others have similar. who really knows, different rollers
it may make more.

It's got around 170bhp. Not bad for a pinto, but quite modest power by today's standards.

Have looked for your vid Rich.. can't find it.
Croft should be a good un, there's a gang of at least four of us entered now. Hope we get as lucky again with the weather.

you wont find it yet, router crashed overnight at 59%. even though youtube says it should resume from where it was it hasn't so had to start
again after rebooting the router.
currently says 397 minutes to go.
does pete do anything to your vids before uploading to make them smaller?
