It looks like it's with MotorSport Vision.

I'm doing Bedford Autodrome with them tomorrow, will let you know how it goes.

I'd do Brands too, but I can't really take another weekday off! I've had enough this month, and have a few next month booked off already!

Well that was a waste of time effort and money!!

Got there after a late nighter, few bits to finish off but no biggy, get the car out and after 2 warm up laps bedding in brakes- I mean real low speed stuff, start to put the hammer down- out of Paddock and up druids, not much power get half way round druids and the car dies!!

get it going again after a tow back, another to laps and lots of noise no power so back into pits- dies again, get stared again and the bang crash of a busted bottom end.

So back on the trailer and head home- not a happy boy :(

Thanks to the guys from ETA helping me back on the trailer, and for their advice. And good to have a brief chat with some other owners.

Sorry for not cominig to say high- saw BMBOB in a garage but as you can imaging bit busy essing with car.

We will be going again in the next couple of months, so ill post again and hope a few of you can make it.

As for me, fortunatly i had a great day and the car was faultless

Until then keep your chins up and keep on building those cars
