Great day today, despite not having our first run until 11:45am (got there at 09:30am ish) were still drying the track.

MIG Attendees (that I know of) were: OllyHewitt, Add_Gee, 0ddball & MattJ

A new personal best for me (again) :D but not by much lmao

Did a couple of runs just without the backbox and boy it was stupidly loud lmao

Priceless video olly :D Looks good, sounds good.

Like the 'jacked up' look. Bet it was fun round corners on the way home.

Would expect that with the petrol tank now being higher than the engine, gravity would increase pressure of fuel getting to the injectors. Just can't understand that popping noise! lmao lmao

Only just occured to me the difference in this weeks Pod, and last weeks :eek:

Last week (17.10.04), I was running:
Both fronts seats in, everything intact, everyday normal running - got a 14.6secs

This week (24.10.04), I was running:
Passenger seat out, headlight out, grill out & backbox off, front tyre pressures down to 25psi, backs up to 45psi, rear suspension raised - got a 14.6secs


Really confused by this at the time, but just occured to me that last week I was running Sainsburys Super Unleaded, and this week it was on Sainsburys Regular Unleaded.


Now, previous to now, I've always thought Optimax/ Super Unleaded was a big con - but this is kinda made sense... never realised it made any difference.

Obviously it does, as thats thee only difference otherwise.

Sassy, u and DJ should pop into Billing if it's near you. Cavweb meet is going ahead there this weekend. Expect some ragged looking hungover saddo's tho. I imagine sunday ain't gonna be pretty.

We're more than likely popping to SP on Sunday for a while. Anyone know if I can take my dog into SP? Just she might be coming camping if she is allowed into SP.
