Yeah - come on Iain/Marc. There were 3 (at a guess) MNRs running between RGB and Kits. How did they get on????
The fact that I couldn't go as planned due to work is being made worse by not knowing how they got on.

Hi Jim / everyone.
That's 1 up on what I thought - but as the results were a long time coming last night I suspect there were a few investigations going on.
There Seemed to be some overtaking going on under yellows ( from where I was stood - Pitwall ) but my eyesight isnt the best.
Though looking at the positives the car was good through the corners but strait line speed was suffering so need to get the finger pulled out of the
enginebuilders ****. Donnigton is a 'Speed curcuit ' so we knew it was going to hurt us being a few 'Ponies ' down
but no water problems.
Only real dramas was a vibrating prop that was soon sorted - the 1 peice tunel cover - Godsend
Roll on the next race and hope the improvments made manifest themselves as imporved results ( though unsure if I am allowed to bottle wash/ tea maid
at the next one  )

hi all
yep much better weekend this time, just about finished the car now should be fully finished and tweeked for lyden, inc a new engine
qualifying was a bit of a balls up on my part unfortunately ran the car too heavy 22kgs after adding new under trays under the whole of the car,
inproved rad ducting, and air intake ducting plus a few other bits and bobs, and the fact i put too much fuel in what with the pitstop to
check water levels after mallory troubles and the fact i never got a clear lap again bit annoying as there are a few who are on cooling down laps
insist on staying on the racing line
race came after a full spanner check
reasonable start stayed out of trouble and fought for my life, unfortunately we just havent got the power, despite taking five to six car lengths into
the corner and the same out on others i was still being passed down the straight, so ended up fith or six ???? in class 9 ish overall
but absolutley loved every minute of it had a great battle with tim hoverd most of the race was never really in contention for anything higher than
5th / 6th to be honest so was pretty pleased to get a finish and the car coming back in one piece
the chassis it self is mustard and when we have the same power as the others i am sure we can be battling in the top three
best regards
marc

Sorry Marc it looked to me as if you lacked grip through the esses and I did see you overtake somebody under yellows when that Fury spun.

the reason for that was i was coming in far too deep and fast enabling me to stay ahead at the end of the long straight and then trying to carry as
much momentum as poss for the start finish straight as i just didnt have the power,
all good fun though not sure about the yellow flag overtake i know i got overtaken by three under yellows near the begining, but being honest it gets
rather hectic out there
lap five and six was when the engine started to get a little warm so had to switch the fan on to bring it down from 98 degrees to 85 degrees as the
oil pressure had dropped a little due to the heat
still enjoyed it massively though, cant wait for the new engine and airbox to come then i wont have to overdrive the car

Looking at the results.
Started 16th on the grid 8th in class
and
Finished 9th overall and 5th in class
Not bad really may have been even better if you hadnt stopped for a breather on lap 5 .

To be fair I think Phil Alcock who writes the RGB website race report is just taking the names etc directly from the 750MC listings.
There's no excuse for the 750 club to get it wrong though, especially names assuming they must have records of people's race licenses etc!

Hi Jim,
Hoping to get fixed in time for Lydden, should know later this week if any serious damage but initial assessment is mainly body work damage and a bent
dash. Should be salvageable although it may not look pretty!
Cheers
