Glad you enjoyed yourself, and that our enthusiasm is infectious.

As requested, one (far from perfect) lap from me on video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAtMGNqK5Sw

Hi all,

stuart, John it was great to meet you on Sunday, I had a lot of fun, and glad to hear you are still keen to come and join us for next year.

Here is another video from Sunday, sorry about the quality I think it has been through one to many format changes

and here are a couple of stats I took from the data logger

0 - 60mph was 4.17 seconds (slightly down hill)
0 - 80mph was 5.96 seconds

and here's a picture too!

If that was far from perfect I'd love to see a perfect lap

David and Chris, once again many thanks for the day and you'll definitely have some more competition next year

Great video's and photo and thanks for posting them , has the smell of melting plastic gone now Chris ?

Interesting stats from the data logger as well .

You're much too kind.

too much wheel spin away from the line -- had to lift off to regain traction...
got tail out slightly at both EWS2 (second left hander) and EWS1 (right hander) causing slight delay in getting power down...
offside wheels slightly on grass exiting last bend -- major delay in getting power down...

It's interesting. You see much more in terms of potential improvements by studying the video and the datalogs (especially if you have a comparator) than you remember after 50 seconds of frenetic activity. The combination of the above mistakes almost certainly mean there is a 49.xx second lap in the car -- something to aim at next year

liking the dog box. Cant wait to give mine a go after a few tweeks of course.

Are they the TD wheels ?

john: has the smell of melting plastic gone now Chris ?

I am hoping it has, there can't be that much plastic left to warm up. thankfully Dad hasn't issued the water container footage but i was a little disapointed to see that out of the 3 photos of me from sunday I had locked brakes in two and a water container wedged under the car in two.

And i thought i was getting smoother

Are they the TD wheels ?

Yes.

oooh, this is all very tempting.
Rob/Knobs - I'm also in Oxfordshire would be v interested in tagging along, although I'm due an ankle operation soon which might stop be playing for a few weeks.
I have a live axle Fury -I'm just about to change the zetec engine (1.8 silvertop to 2.0 blacktop) which instantly makes me uncompetative

Would love to have a chat about it and maybe go to see an event. Fancy a trip to a pub somewhere in east oxfordshire (or wherever suits)?

Sorry guys, nothing new -- you've seen both of these vids before -- but Chris is pretty smart with his editing software, so...

That's great, I love the sound of two engines whining away together A bit like the motogp when they showed Rossi and Lorenzo racing inches from each other - the sound is awesome!
