Yup, I'll be along spectating. Pete's old Westy is entered, plus a mate having his first shot in a Radical.

Will I be needing a crash hat?

Did you have a good day at Oulton? cant remember what day you were there.. hope it was a dry one.

I really wanted to try to make this one, as it's my birthday on the Saturday and the NE7ER's aren't organising their autumn trackday this year.

But the engine swap still isn't finished and I have a mountain of work on.

I can't make this one, but I'm planning on doing the 16th October date.

was a really good day, new engine went well.
just need to work on my driving now.
also think the car needs setting up a bit better as i'm getting a bit of understeer.

video footage didn't come out to well due to a number of issues which i'm sorting out. also broke the screen on the DVR so that's away being fixed so i wont have it for friday.

here's a couple of poor quality vids

Other than the shakey camera, nice vids. I dont think there's much wrong with the driving, you look to be flying there Rich!

I noticed a bit of understeer in the slow corners, was it doing it in the quicker ones too?

bigfoot4616 - 22/9/09 at 04:38 PM

a little in some of the fast corners but generally not to bad.

i'm wondering if its anything to do with the lack of available suspension travel on the front. the front shocks look to long to me meaning to get the ride height the spring platform is right down near the bottom.

I can see your problem, you haven't any springs and shocks!

Sorry, no help at all.

Three places left for this one, and the weather is looking good.

Just booked my place this morning, weather looks good. Only 1 left now.

Orange Roadster with black stripe down the middle.

Looked to be a good day. The orange striker was flying! Failed miserably to get a decent pic of the three wheeling antics Rich.

Here's my best attempt:
