[MoleT-5R]

I'd all ready got it penciled in for next month, the stickier track has to be worth a tenth or 2, but on the down side it is easier to break something on a sticky track

[claymore]

[LiamT4]

We're getting a new sleeping bag or going to try what ever moley was on woke up at half 3 freezing so went to car to get another bag to find moley still out side in freezing fog with his t shirt on

[Doingitsideways]

A Korma is not.

[MoleT-5R]

Moley taught Bear Grylls

I wrote a report on him it read "must try harder"....lol

[stribo]

If the cars sorted, and the weathers dry, we'll be there on the Sunday.

[t5 pete]

Should turn out to be a decent meet then if the weather is good

[The Flying Moose]

Just checked my shift roster. I'm off all weekend for a change.

I'm in :)

[MoleT-5R]

I may have to run on saturday as I have to attend the grand daughter's christening on the sunday, so I've been told....:cussing:
May be I should take her racing instead ...:)

[p fandango]

put me down for a weekender

[p fandango]

got a few others will might be coming down just to race on the day. My bro in his modified Skoda VRS, a bug-eye Impreza & a 70's Corvette Stingray

[stribo]

put me down for a weekender

Are you going to be running the Messerschmitt?

[p fandango]

yeh, should have a new intake manifold, quick-shift lever & hopefully bucket seat fitted before then

[stribo]

That bucket sat will make all the difference. :lol: Of course, if you had an MX5, you already have a short throw gearbox. ;)

[p fandango]

its only a manual adjustment seat anyway, so won't be much weight saving. As for the MX-5, i'll still with a proper car & buying the £20 shift kit thanks lol

What time do you reckon the mx5 would do?

[t5 pete]

Best get some good weather booked Jim bob

[stribo]

What time do you reckon the mx5 would do?

No idea, I think book is mid 15s, problem is I'd need the hood down to run it at Shakey, as I definitely won't fit with my crash helmet on.

They do seem to get of the line well, possibly lose out on terminal speed though?

[stribo]

They only weigh a tonne, and they're really short geared, 5th is only 20mph/1000RPM, so should get up there quite well, lack of ultimate power will be its downfall.

[T5frankie]

May bring the t4 to this :-)

[The Flying Moose]

Be good to see you mate, been a while. camp out... Be a right laugh ;)

[T5frankie]

Me camping?? LOL maybe if it's glamping LOL

[t5 pete]

We all still on for this need to know so donna can book a day off work

[The Flying Moose]

Can't remember if I'm off or not, definately up for it if so. May have recruited some more this evening in Gothenburg too.

[stribo]

We're still planning to go.

[Hybusamini]

I not make this 1 at work need the pennies 4 new engine pop pop:cry::cry:

[p fandango]

i'm out i'm afraid

[MoleT-5R]

I can't do Sunday as I meant to be going to a Christening, I think it would be better to bring the Grand daughter to Shaky and splash some high octane fuel on her forehead and baptise her in the religion of Drag Racing........but the others don't seem to understand much to my annoyance !! Racing the Saturday instead, is looking less and less likely for me too....will have to stick with 14.3 till next season by the look of it ..... :troutslap

[The Flying Moose]

Just realised I did check, I have a long weekend off so if the weathers looking good and I'm not the only one I'm still in.

[martin_r_smith]

If the weathers good I'm still in.

[Jamest5r]

Yep we're still in :)

[Jamest5r]

Being the numpty I am just realised that the other half is flying to iom Sunday lunchtime so looks like we're out sorry all :(

[Jamest5r]

Probably leave it till next year would be nice to go into the winter break with a working car lol also having an internal slave fitted to try and soften this clutch up abit next week

[The Flying Moose]

Not leaving many names left! Me, Steve and Pete/Donna?

Perhaps I may also accept my 14.8 until next year and save myself for evo triangle

[Jamest5r]

I believe pete and Donna are out aswell :(

[The Flying Moose]

I believe pete and Donna are out aswell :(

Mmmm ok, well with such limited numbers ill say I'm out too as its a good trek over.

[martin_r_smith]

So is everyone out now?

[claymore]

I'm out.

[Jamest5r]

Think so mate plus the weather looks crap

[The Flying Moose]

To top it off weather aside my clutch is now slipping so I wouldnt be running anyhow. :(

Guessing ill be getting dirty at some point in the winter.

well if everybody's out, hope it pisses down on Sunday and we'll all feel good that we couldn't race anyway, oh well bring on 2016 and we'll start all over again in our some what pointless pursuit of the quickest 1/4 time.....well we'd only have to find something else to occupy our time if we weren't running the 1/4......good luck everyone for 2016

Pray for snow mate lol

[stribo]

We're still going on Sunday, weather looks perfect for running, cold damp air. :D Though unless I can get the C70 sorted tomorrow, I'll be taking the MX5.

[p fandango]

I'll be taking the MX5.
i'd be interested to see what it can (or can't) do on the strip anyway ;) lol

[WOODY T5]

Still time to beat me this year ;)

[stribo]

i'd be interested to see what it can (or can't) do on the strip anyway ;) lol

What did the Messerschmitt do?

[Jamest5r]

I've got to be at the airport at 1 but I might pop down after to say hello if your still around I'll call you Steve.

[stribo]

We'll probably leave about 3 ish mate, want to get back to watch the Grand Prix, but would be good to see you if you're about. :D
BTW I know why you really want to come down, you want to see how I fit in the MX5. lol

Luckily I can lower the entire roof. :D

[MoleT-5R]

Did anybody have a run ??? If so any times and pictures ???

[stribo]

Yep, we went, it was rammed, and running didn't get started until 13.00, as they were drying the track, so we only got 4 runs each, my best time in the MX5 was 15.88, beating a stripped out Renault Clio Sport 172 in the process, best time in the S60R was 14.28. I only got a couple of photos, but will post them later.

so not to bad a day then Steve, bit of waiting about for a dry track though, but at least you got a few runs in, anyone else there volvo wise ??

[stribo]

No, just us. Best day we've had at Shakey is 18 runs each, so 4 was a bit of a disappointment, but we got to drive both cars home. ;)
