Everyone turned up to a warm and sunny morning but all the talk was of the impending thunderstorms due sometime after lunch.
Proceedings got under way promptly at 10 and, with a combination of a large entry and the forecast rain, competitors were asked not to dawdle at he start so that the runs progressed quickly.
Both practice runs were run in the warm and dry and a decision was made to have the first timed run before lunch in case it came to rain. As it turned out there was a few spits and spots of rain for some of the runners during the second timed run after lunch but nothing too detrimental.
So to the runners and riders:
I managed to complete the first run with a time of just under 89s - still oversteering in some places but not half as bad as last time so the diff rebuild has helped. A big flatspot in the map is also now making itself evident as I'm managing to push harder so it's off for another mapping session at a different dyno shop next month.
Unfortunately the engine wouldn't start for the second run which was traced to a non-functioning injection pump. Not carrying a spare this meant end of play for me
Times for the other protagonists in are:
Mike Smith 83.22 82.39 81.57 81.85
Paul Barker 84.04 81.13 81.24 81.19
John Bradshaw 84.07 81.10 80.83 80.20
John Loudon 80.83 79.02 78.45 78.31
My intention was to go to the 2 day event on Anglesey at the end of August but seeing as I can't get round Llandow quickly yet then I'm better off spending the money on a days testing there at the beginning of September- more time in the car and a chance to try different set-ups
Diff now rebuilt to "Caterham" settings so see how she behaves Saturday 
-- but he got his own back by a similar margin on the Sunday
