hope you both have a good weekend, bit to far for me to come and watch this time

Andy D - 13/9/09 at 07:49 PM

Whaddaweekend!

Pete quallified 2nd in class for Saturday's race, just behind Paul Moss's potent Saxo. The Saxo bogged down badly on the start, plus went off at park on lap one, leaving Pete leading the class. He was chasing a class B MGZR for the entire race, while the recovering Saxo worked it's way through the field. It eventually caught the Honda on the last lap, but Pete managed to get a better drive out of Barn, and kept the Saxo at bay. Yay! first, 1st in class under the belt!

Sunday's race saw the Saxo and Honda on the grid, alongside eachother....again. The flag dropped and Pete got elbowed back to 2nd in class, then lost another place at Park.. and the Saxo powered past him out of Mansfield.. End of lap one he was fourth in class. Time to fight back! He eventually outbraked one Fiesta into Park, chased down the next one, catching him on Park straight. A bit of pressure around the gooseneck, Fiesta outbraked it'self down into Mansfield, and Pete was through to a well deserved class 2nd.

First race

Second race Part 1

Part two will be up shortly.

Paul, lap times were pretty much the same as his last visit. 1:44s The times are probably getting to be dependant on track conditions. Saturday was a scorcher, and Sunday the circuit was well covered in oil / cement dust...


A few pics.

The Saxo sits quite high on its suspension,but its not effecting its performance,so it must be working well,when he passed your Pete,it appeared to get a better run out of the bottom of the goose neck,and as you know its one of the worst places to get the power down,this could it be down to a LSD in the Saxo,or he just has a bit more power,I know I always harp on about LSD's,but its because my Clio does not have one,and I am sure it would make a second or two on mine a lap around Cadwell,and if the Saxo has one that alone could be making the difference.

Paul, the Saxo has a reputed 200bhp plus! also a trick gearbox with LSD. Pete is playing with an open diff, crap 5th gear ratio, and 167bhp.

When we started racing this year, we decided we really weren't trying to compete with the Saxo. It really is in a different league.


PAUL FISHER - 14/9/09 at 10:53 AM

Wow,he's got some money in that car,very nice,in that case,your Pete is doing remarkably well to keep with that,but he will need to put his hand in his pocket for a LSD and a few more ponies for next season if he is to beat that on a regular basis

Well... look what was delivered this morning!




...and he allready has some cams and an Emerald ECU to fit.

PAUL FISHER - 14/9/09 at 11:18 AM

Oh yes they will do nicely

adithorp - 14/9/09 at 12:35 PM

Good result! I'm guessing the headgasket "officially" survived Oulton now?

The Oulton "headgasket" problem has been officially declared as "user error". Since Oulton the car has survived four good 20min thrashes, so should be OK.

The final two races at Croft should be good. If we've calculated correctly The Class D championship is being led by Paul Moss (Saxo), with Pete and Gavin Lee (last year's winner, Fiesta) equal second.

Looked like "helper too busy gabbing" error to me!

When the last one?

Not sure if we'll have a car at Teesside, (racing next day) but will pop through if you decide to go Richard.

Martin, why on earth would you want to fit throttle bodies to a small ugly dog?
