A little bit? Those look huge... and pretty mean.

So it was going really well at Blyton today, fastest I've ever been by some significant margin, 68.6 secs, until a little spin ended when I hit the row of white blocks. Splitter looks pretty 2nd hand (easy fix with a sheet of plywood) and the bonnet has some big cracks in the drivers side corner (red gaffer tape to the rescue) and the rose joint that holds the bonnet on had sheared.

Back there tomorrow but without a splitter.

The old company car was an auto and I used to left foot brake that all the time :D Seems intuitive in a go-kart so should be easy enough to adopt to in a car....just mind the big white blocks and best practice it first :o
