Gwyn and I will be there to lend support, and hopefully take a few pictures :D

Just booked at Premier Inn, Ashby-de-la-Zouch for Saturday night, so we can get there in time for practice in the morning.

re japi

Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.

The car ran a lot smooooother second run out and knocked around 7 seconds faster on lap timings a good a day out weather great well done Clive nice to catch up with some members:cool

Casey

I\'ve only just got back and walked through the door when Clive called with a report on the 2nd race. As Tony said, a massive 7 seconds a lap better in the second race (1m29s in first race). Clive also improved to 2nd in Class and has another trophy for the day to add to his 3rd in Class from the first race.

I\'ll keep it brief, as I\'m sure Clive will post up later (and I\'ll get on with sorting through my photos!).

Great to meet up with Tony, Jim, Pete (Nutty_Chappie), JayDee, Kerim and others.

Congratulations Clive and the HUGE number of people who have worked on the car.

Photos later, I hope!
