Bedford initially felt slippy today once we got onto track at 11am. Just 6 cars (2x CSL, 2x Atom, mx5 and Juno (Radical type thing). My first two timed laps were 1m24.7 and 1m 24.2 which already was faster than last time but this initial speed was due tot he fact that the cones were better placed than last time out, allowed us a bit of kerb on some corners and the two chicanes were a very little bit more opened up.

At our outing last year Barry and I posted our fastest times in the timed sprint, both 1m 24.3 but this year both of us posted our best times in the practice. M best was 1m 21.4 and in my timed sessions my two times were 1m 22.4 and 1m 22.7, unfortunately spoilt I think mainly by me having a big moment on the last/first corner which spoilt both my timed laps. I have a feeling my second lap would have been a corker except for the poor start.


I'm gonna check out the pbox files and times and report back.

That was my point Shim. I was a bit more eager than you. Good racing excuse though, I can tell you spent a few nights with Curly

Least your times are both consistent.

Doing the perfect lap do you both reckon you can get into the 1.20's or 1.19's?

We were both left till the end waiting for everyone else to do there fast timed laps, about 15-20 mins, tyres had cooled.

perfect times today would probably have hit 1:20 something, my ideal time was low 1:21

I think Bedford has great tarmac but short circuit. Best thing is to book on early as possible,m get number ONE transponder then you will go out only 2 minutes after the one hor session finishes so your tyres and brakes will be warm.

If you do that i think sub 1m 20s would be a good target, but doubt youd get under 1m 19.5s, especially first visit.

There's more skill to driving in the rain anyway

Just think of all the brake and tyre wear you save..... My pussy's were great in the wet stuff......... Unlike the cups

Just keep away from Snett on the 25th........ Expecting lots of wet pussy's
