Snett
 

Last race weekend for me in the CSL cup this weekend :bigcry: , anyone thinking of coming up ....:whistle:

Im also doing the MSV day on thursday at Snett which is open pit lane, only in my Road Car to get a some track time in prior to the weekend, so if anyone on the MSV will see you there :thumbs:

Total track solutions thankyou please !:smt047

Daz

cant make Thursday unfortunately as it would have been good to put the car back on track but weather permitting i should be up to Snett Sunday to see the racing:thumbs:

good luck

Curly will be hiring a car last minute to try to nick the title!

Thank fuck !! Tell him I will pay him handsomely to get his arse on track sunday, as I will be penalised for being the ONLY entrant in Std class so half points ... :whistle:

Cool hopefully see you sunday ;)

just joking about curly

you are destined to be 2nd overall i feel if half points:bigcry:

Bloody typical :bigcry:

I'm going to miss both the race weekends i wanted to make, the CSL Cup and the Timeattack rounds at Snetterton.

If i was home Daz i would have come and had a play on Thursday...

Nevermind i'll look forward to reading the reports after the races :thumbs:

What kinda money we talking daz:drool: i'm ready with me romper suit and arai;)

Post up your times of todays track day :supz:

Couple of mates in Atom's were there today. Any good ?

So Daz how did you find my field of Dreams :smt055????????

you not competing next year then Daz????

Didnt make it today but looking at TSL Timing John Thorne won both Modified Class races and Daz both Standard races (only runner)

I think that means Daz is Standard Class champion (well done rooky) and Dan stringfellow is Modified Chamtion and overall winner.:thumbs:

Does he get some cash? ;)

Well done Dazza! :thumbs: :wav:

Well done John and Daz :thumbs:

I hope one of them writes a report and post some pic's....

Just got in and shattered, been up there since Wednesday, M11/M25 was a pile of shite :bigcry:

Cracking weekend really missed Curly as Duncan White moved upto Mod class as he had cams and tweaks , but still beat him !! lol

Two wins, but not as worthwhile as only runner this weekend, 2nd in championship tho so happy with that in first season, learnt loads and hopefully in for next year budget allowing.

Has a awesome start on 2nd race, got upto 1st in the corner but got taken by Foster and Thorne, then the modded chaps got back eventully but held on for 6/7 laps in third which was a giggle:hahaha:

Had a sideways moment and let stevie g through, will look awesome on his in car as he chased mr round and ran wide ... oops !

Will post up pics tom, and sure steve will do his pukka write up:thumbs:

Congratulations Daz! :beer: Hope you can get funds again for next year. :thumbs:

Congrats daz:thumbs:sounds like you had a brill second race,i was over at the car show in frankfurt at the weekend and keep thinking about the snett races:bigcry: will miss the buz but not the expense

in your case 2s 6p on a wheel bolt:thumbs:

must have hurt:whistle:

:thumbs:Will post up the vid when I get home - when you went wide to begin with I was saying, "Oh no please dont go onto the grass and crash!!!" when I should have been concentrating on getting past but I didn't want see a nice guy like Daz crash :bigcry:

For everyone who wasn't there I qualified 5th but didn't make race 1 due to gearbox problems where it wouldn't engage gears 2, 4 and 6 :banghead:, thankfuly by race 2 we'd managed to get it sort of working and I started the race at the back of the grid. Finished 4th in the end which I was happy with considering I had to do the back straight in 6th (thanks to the gearbox playing up) and some corners went round out of gear :banghead:

Great weekend apart from that and Daz was an absolute star and perfect host for the evening's entertainments :beer:
I'd setup two video cameras, one facing forward one back so it should make for some fun video.

BTW I hate Snetterton, its far too fast a circuit for a man of my (limited) talents I prefer the slower and twistier ones. I was lifting most of the way into the bombhole and many times ended up just short of the grass on the exit of the wide sweeping corner before Russell. Its the kind of circuit I really need to do a lot of work on if I'm going to get anywhere next year!

Nice one Daz. Glad to hear Dan did well too - he can certainly pilot a car pretty swiftly.

So you gonna move up the the main class next season Daz?

Thats the plan ;-)

Love this tripod pic :smt047

What's the story here though? Jamie up to his usual tricks then? :hahaha:

http://i728.photobucket.com/albums/w..._Snett_015.jpg

Hmmmmm ..Jamie hit stringy on the first lap , whilst I was heading to first lol !! took his bumper off and carried it for a whole lap, look mental in my mirrors as he was trying to hassle steve ... then he retired as engine went:whistle:

lack of cooling?

lack of water.

Jamie rammed Dan on the grid, punctured his radiator then drove the car round until the temp guage went off the clock and blew the engine. He did the same thing at Donington. Needless to say he will not be driving a TMS car again.

Fair one! :banghead:

Mmmmmm. He's got a lot of mechanical sympathy then. :whistle::bigcry:

Bloody hell, what's the point of having gauges if you don't use them???

Worse than that, our cars are fitted with Dash 2 displays, they have water and oil alarms go off the whole dash flashes black and white that its actually quite off putting. Jamie ignored it for 7 laps at Donington Park and a lap at Snett. We are looking at the data now.

here you go.

that was the trouble with doc martin he just didn't know when he was beat:hahaha:

Well my services aren't very costly and i'll promise to watch the gauges closely..... :thumbs:

Just lack a bit of talent but don't let a little thing like that get in the way....

I'll wait for your call :whistle:

Nathan has an Aim dash in his, It is growing on me, particularly the live lap times etc, but there is a lot of data on those digi dashes to take in during a race where you may get 1-2 secs a lap to look down and I still dont think you can beat gauges for a quick status update.

If I was hiring out race cars I would simply install a big red light on the dashboard that lit when oil temp / water temps / oil pressure hit certain values.

I would then have an agreement with the driver that when that when the light comes on they stop immediately or foot the bill if they decide to carry on racing.

Then again, Nathan seems to be able to to recall precise oil temps on a per lap basis so maybe I just have no spare capacity in racing mode..

manny, you are geared to just drive fast whereas Nathan is there to multi task and fiddle (i think he should be the manager and you the driver....you are faster)

OOO :gayfight:wait till Nathan reads that......

:whistle:

:gayfight:Gits.

I just take longer to learn circuits, I was quicker at Donny :blalalala:

More likely that I just have more to lose if it explodes so tend to look at oil and water temps a bit more :whistle:

I was quicker at Spa :whistle:

Truth be told there is nothing in it, our race lap speeds are pretty much the same, and Snetterton is one of my favourite tracks.

I am better looking though :birdman:

Tell you what thoug Shimmy, having seen your Spa times, its criminal if you dont get yourself in a race car next year ;)
