subject of, boggissimo , I've an old bias valve in the workshop........ I will NOT be using it...... no garantee it works though  Thanks Rich, I think I'd trust a new one a bit more but if you're giving it away.... I've just dug it out...  think its one of the ones TAS (TransAutoSport) sold BUT that ages it to ~15+ years old as TAS went bust in about 2004? no history (never raced or rallied?  ) knob turns.... but for the sake of ~£20 for a new one is it worth it? Rich. |

June for me looks like this-
Pembrey sprint 5th & 6th
Prescott hillclimb 19th
Curborogh sprint 27th
Never been to Pembrey before, but I know the other 2 pretty well.

The scottish season kicked off at the weekend (finally!) at Kames circuit as usual, 12 MX5's were competing and all very close. I finished 3rd on both days despite setting PB's both days and even getting under the class record both days, my excuse for not winning is the others were on better tyres  This is a clip from the sunday and my best timed run (slightly slower than my first practice run though); This weekend coming I'm up at golspie then forrestburn hillclimb the following week. |

Then a not so good weekend at Forrestburn hill climb: just superficial or needing a tug? Rich. |

Needs a small pull where the bumper and wing mount but just had alignment checked and still straight, just a bit less pretty! Will probably just drive it like this until end of the season then decide what I'm doing at that point. |

How did the rad survive that!? Damn, you carried so much speed into that corner, not much could have been done to save that one, the rage "fok" says it all. Hope you manage to finish the season, be a shame if you have to reshell it.

Wel jel howardb66 - where did you end up in class? I won the Classic Marques class but came 3rd by 0.21 sec in the CM entry as there were a couple of cars that were entered in other classes that also run in the competition. My best time was 50.05 which was 2 seconds quicker than my previous Pb. |

2 seconds?! I take it your previous PB was in the supercharged iteration?

Hope you manage to finish the season, be a shame if you have to reshell it. Think I just hit the tyres at enough of an angle even though it did feel pretty straight on. Yeah too much speed, I was too busy thinking I could get away with braking a little less than I had the run before and was already in the corner when I had barely lifted. I'm hoping to continue until the end of the season as is but we'll see. |

Didn't have much time to do anything, don't even think I braked before I hit the wall, too busy trying to correct the slide but not much chance in the space! |
