Cleaning out the car and taking out the baby seat to get ready for tomorrow morning

 

Weather's looking a lot better than earlier - high 20's sounds better than high 30's

 

Should be a great day - fingers crossed we all have a clean one.

[Rab]

Awesome, awesome day.

 

Clean, fantastic day for us all.

 

Need more traction and more skill (probably in the reverse order)

 

Red H.S.V.'s had their own club - other colour H.S.V.'s had the second one - rest of us had fun

Where's the pics ? And videos

What time did you get ?

2.05 - we chose the wrong group (slow) - there were just too many cars to get clean laps in without being held up through sections.

 

I even went out 1st to try and ensure a clear track, but there were still cars coming out of the pits when I made it round to the start line (putting me at the tail of the slower cars who decided to hang back and go out last)

 

I think I went a bit too firm on my rear suspension - was struggling for traction in the later sessions (after I firmed it up) and put it down to the track/tyres getting warmer - thinking back I think the ride may have been a tad too tight.

 

Will be going through video tonight (hopefully) to try and find some decent footage.

you got the shockworks on there Rab? can't remember right now(must be an age thing)

[k31th]

Yeah, he has shockworks combined with harrop 6/4 brake with massive rotors setup

[masda74]

ahhh it is ringing a bell now.

I was previously told by Dan that Brett suggested running 4 clicks at the front and 3 clicks at the back for Street duties.

When heading out to the track, that 6 clicks at the front and rear would be best.

@Rab what settings did you have set?

[Wilko16]

The brakes must feel unreal!

I think he might of hit the brakes a few times and then land in the dashboard himself...
