Bunch of people out and about this weekend including Dopdog in his new BEC Fury.....looking forward to see how Simon gets on ;)

I'm double driving the Phoenix with Andy Elcomb, Pete Goulding and Stephen Laing are in my class as well. Should be fun.

What happened? Was it spectacular?

Are you sticking with the H or does this mean you're going to bite the bullet and go sequential?

Looks like a repeat of the layshaft failure. I wasn't driving when it went but it now only resists being pushed in 4th which is the 1:1 gear.

As to replacements/rebuilds....not sure, can't really afford/justify the 6-7K it would cost to put a Sequential in.
