38.08 Sunday....2nd in class
38.09 Monday....2nd in class

If I could stop locking the brakes I'd have gone a lot faster (the classic 'if only' in motorsport terms)

Had lots of chats with various people over the weekend (including Matt & David + Family) and David's delightful wife who sat in the passenger seat up the course on the 'demo' run. I was speaking to the owner of MSAR about Hans devices on Saturday and said it was a shame he hadn't bought any with him so I could try them out.....on Sunday he did and I splashed for one of the Hans adjustable.

Also spent a long time chatting to the new owner of Kit Car Magazine, Tom Saunders or Tombs, who had the idea for the Kitcar Village which didn't quite come off (no manufactures). He says they will organise it earlier for next year and look to get SKCC on the stand as well as a number of manufactures.

Great weekend as always and I hope everyone who turned up had a great time.

It is a fun day rather than anything serious (although North Tower is very serious, a Mondeo but it on the roof just after the finish).

And the only sprint that makes it into the Telegraph !

I spent 10 mins yesterday chatting to the Mayor of Bromley, which is something that I don't normally do while sprinting!

What ratio rack do you have Jeff? I guess it's just an effect of the camera, but you appear to be using a lot of lock.

2 turns lock to lock. I think it is the effect of the camera and the very tight turns.
