Castle Combe Performance Car Action Day 2008

[Lee]

Dougie made it back fine. He's gutted he didn't bring the belmont, but the Nova has only just had the transplant. There's gonna be teething problems. Went well first session though by all accounts

Yarp, first session was 10 mins, thatnks to the Mini prolapsing. And Ad, managed to get our whole session You can just about see

Just finished rendering my second outing at 13:30 with ben21 as passenger, time out on track... 10m 21s grrrrrr

Seems they cut short every session,Lol.

It was the weather. Lots of noobs falling off and hitting things The amount of track passes availiable from the paddock was a testament to that!

i had a resonable time on track and lee i think i have found a worse tyre than yours, only tyres i could get my hands on at the last minute track session was good apart form on the way down 5th gear decided to not engage so 4 speed f20 was used on track with some interesting rattles form box area and some high rpm being used not to worry 5th will be replaced soon! was very impressed from what i saw off all the novas but olly your nova looked very very quick very impressed mate, managed to stay resonably close to lee (say resonably for a good few laps), passed quiter a few cars adam your nova looked pretty quick aswell round the track, the car was good 45's were as quick as the throttle bodies!so i am pleased my last minute engine tuning i did at 12 last night did the trick, goin to order some new poundage springs on the front from spax on monday

[Adam]

Top stuff for actually getting the car built and running within a week too

[trackdaynova]

ack - I might sound like a broken record - but just rendered my third and final outing with Chip, and time out on track was 10m 02s

So in fact, I had a total of 29mins on track today - and, they were an absolutely fantastic 29mins of my life!

Vids to follow later tonight


Thanks for all the many comments about my car, I was certainly happy with how it performed, when I got home, parked it on the drive, not one drop of oil, nor loss of coolant - she's a goodun!

[corsakid]

cheers was a little bit of a rush but that didnt worry me what did worry me was having no shake down time with the car so didnt know how it was going to handle, and the first miles it did were to combe it drove well and nothing fell off it and did over heat use oil or coolant which was a bonus, pitty the weather wasnt any good,
