stevefoster Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 Had a great weekend. The drysump was brilliant. 4 bar all the time, NO tappet/cam follower aeration. The 36psi light barely coming even at idle after a race or qualifying session. The engine feels a lot more robust now. Shaved another 0.2 secs off my lap record. With th engine being so well pressured I really used all the revs and got on the power as hard and early as possible. I had a really good scrap with Cossie powered Fury, ate him up under braking and in all of the bends but his power made it very difficult to make a move stick. I was stuck to him like glue the whole race even though I out qualified him by a full second (his power meant he got me off the line). No sign of the fluffing / misfire below 3000 rpm I had last meeting. That was poor FUEL for sure. Probably water in the tank. My Minno is brilliant. Just drove on after the last race and strapped down and home.... 3 signatures left now.... One will be at Silverstone. Nice to see all the L7C guys again. Looking forward to the next meeting already.

Trevor Phillips Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Steve, Well done, I enjoyed seeing yellow in both mirrors. My starts are always quick - I got up to fifth by the first corner. The Fury ran well but boils its brakes mid-race. Next meeting I'll be back in the cherry pink Clubman [just so you know who the car in front is!] [[only joking]] Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edmandsd Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 Just thought I'd say that the Trevor Phillips/Steve Foster battle was almost as much fun to watch, as it obviously was from a drivers' perspective.
