North Weald 20th April

Very wet old day at NW....400BHP and wet surface are not ideal companions

Fourth in class though, Jeff -- and it still has all its corners!

Seriously though -- most of my friends with that much grunt have a "wet map".

Lol....I read that first time as 'wet nap'

Omex are launching a software revision which will have an element of traction control so this is something I'll be playing with for the rest of the season. Pete Gouldings car was a lot faster than any of the other kits and you could hear the traction working all the way round the track.

I understand why there was a lack of traction now....need tyres on the ground!

Only the one, Jeff -- I can remember seeing a pic of a Westy (not mine) with all four several inches airborne at NW.

For those bumps I think a 2CV would be the ideal vehicle.

Maybe....but you would need to run soft shocks on a 2CV !

Looks a bit lively in those conditions. You might want to let the rebound screws off a bit on your shocks ;)
