punch

Hi Chris / Grahame Bit late to the party , but if there is a space left ,can I put my claim in. Philip .

I would like to say a surprised thank you to my fellow competitors for the enthusiastic congratulations given when I finally manage to string a quick time together today, and then again for their reaction when it was disallowed and purged from the record due to the unfortunate accident which closed the meeting, (my best wishes to that competitor and hopefully minor injuries from a very heavy accident.) I would also thank Tony my arch rival who on getting within a few tenths of my previous time, generously shows me his in car video, which with Dan Malkins previous evenings coaching , shows me that I,m doing it all wrong and allows me to go a second faster!!! A fine example of the spirit of competition that Tony is renowned for , Many thanks to all ,and be assured this example may encourage me to shed my Dick Dastardly persona !! And become a more upright member of our society. (Maybe!!) Philip (Dastardly) Matchwick.

Tony, Does this mean your actually entering the correct class for your engine horsepower!!!! Well I never, welcome to class 4. ps good to see Geoff is coming back. Philip.

Hi Trevor, interested in plastic half doors ? Any chance of photo, philip.m@whitehorsecontractors.co.uk Regards Philip

One space for me please Chris. Regards Philip

@Rivilla, as I do not have a dry sump, rightly or wrongly i rely on the Apollo tank to keep the oil in the right place and i assumed the rattle to be the combustion of the oil rather than the bottom end. And as the old englishmaninwales says the only surge i have is in my enthusiasm to kick his ass down the road with quicker times!! When are you out again Malcolm? Philip

Hi Clive, I have 1.8 and found on Curborough figure of eight at left turn at Flag Pole, engine would suck oil and big cloud of smoke from exhaust,and Pembury on the tight / long hard LH turn again engine rattle, loss of power and big cloud of oil smoke, So have fitted small catch tank and now no problem. but this is on ZZS tyres when hot rather than class two tyres which tend to slide rather than grip. Philip

Hi All, As i had not had e mail confirming reserve place,i e mailed Alan and asked if i did or did not have place and he has replied yes, ( big relief) and that reserve lists have been informed today, and confirmed competitors will have notifications early next week when final regs sent out. Biggest problem is it is late in the day, if you do not get an entry very late to try and find another sprint /hillclimb to compete in, and although it is the closest venue to my home ,i would find it difficult to support it as a championship round when it is so difficult to get a confirmed entry, also a relief that i do not have to try and pass on my entry to club trackday at Castle Coombe as i did last year. Philip

LOOKING FOR MINNO SHUTTLE IF ANY ONE KNOWS OF ONE, HAPPY TO WAIT TILL END OF SEASON IF ONE IS COMING AVAILABLE. CONTACT BLATCHAT OR philip.m@whitehorsecontractors.co.uk

ANY ONE HAD CONFIRMATION OF ENTRIES? FEARING ANOTHER YEAR OF DISAPPOINTMENT EVEN WITH ENTRY SENT AS SOON AS ENTRIES OPENED. Philip

My excuse is that I was so used to hitting the concrete kerb’s on the hill, I did not notice the vibration on the trailer!!! or may be it was just the end of a long weekend, but thank you for bringing it to my attention. Philip

In deeming to reply to Tony's comments, the next totally legal modification to my car will be named " the coat tail " so he will have something to hold onto,

Hi Andy, Excellent photos, much appreciated. Philip

Hi Simon, I have ran ally tonneau last season and this season in class 3 with no problems in L7 Championship, and it has never been questioned. Philip

Excellent photos Dave, very much appreciated , i think i / we owe you a breakfast roll at all sprints attended ,maybe Chris can get you an official L7 club photographer tabbard ? to get you to the parts others can't reach! Philip

Tony , There you go , see what a little encouragement ref early season points being low hanging fruit and your in there like Flynn, so perhaps Tony De Vito Flynn, should be your new racing name!! Philip

Many thanks for replies, so one for bracket in front and one for behind, any casting vote? i should say mine is a imperial chassis 2003 . Regards Philip

Can anyone confirm on a lowered floor does the floor support bracket fix in front or behind the cross member ? just fitted floor and i think it is behind but am having doubts? Thanks in advance, Philip.

Have weighed. Compomotive CXR rims with Avon ZZS tyres 6 inch fronts with 185/13 tyres 12.2 kg 8” rears with 215 /13 tyres. 14.3 kg but I think it’s all about side wall flex because they feel so much better. Regards Philip

As a class 3 competitor in the club speed championship with 150 hp ,the majority run 13" dia in 8" rears and 6" fronts , a minority run 7"fronts , or 6" rears . we all tend to run AVON ZZS tyres ,I currently have a set of Compomotive CXR rims /tyres for sale on pistonheads,.The 13 " tyres add addition suspension to the car, plus fill the rear arches nicely , but just for road use you might find rears a bit grippy but for track i think they are spot on and if i was using my car for road i would use 13 " dia. hope this helps, Philip
