    who knows, but most of them fall off the track due to slicks and damp/wet tracks added in they give it 110percent effort !

    i went to watch the berg cup in homberg (sp?) 2 years ago, was epic every one was really friendly, had convo's about the cars in broken english !

    Still messing about with fitting an alternator, I'm going to have to get a new crank pulley machined up (using the standard GM pulley would have meant moving the crank sensor, which I didn't fancy).

    So I took the opportunity to change the alternator pulley from a 'V' belt to a multi-groove type, which are less prone to getting thrown off at high revs;





    The new pulley is aluminium, and the retaining nut is titanium, so a useful weight saving as well.

    Just been to see this in action, really impressive car on track. Colin narrowly missed taking a first in class spinning on the last corner on what looked to be a very quick run. Definitely has the potential to beat the quickest of the mini's now!
