That's fine. When you get to CC head for the competitors entrance & ask to be pointed in the direction of the TDC, I won't know the exact location until I get there. I'll be there from 8:00am 'til about 5:00 ish.

Highlight of the day -<br>
Jigsaw Bloke was sat on a deckchair, it collapsed and he ended up on his arse...being as he parked 30metres away from me and didnt even bother to look at my car, I thought it ripe opportunity to laugh my a** off 8-)

I had a great time & there were some nice older cars there. There was even a Le Mans style start for a bunch of GT40s, but they only paraded round which was a shame.<br>
<br>
The Sprint ran very well & I managed to take 7 secs off my previous best lap doing a 1min 27secs. This was due mostly to the fact that I am now running a 4.1:1 diff.<br>
<br>
Nice to see Adam, Rich & James (miniman). There were two other Sprints there, another Brooklands with roll cage etc, I think this was the one on the Jan '05 cover of Retro Cars magazine. The other Sprint was a French Blue with a 3.5l V8 in. Johan a South African (now living in the Souhampton area) owns this but I didn't have chance to have a look under the bonnet.<br>
<br>
It was bloody hot and this told on my Sprint (see Smokin' thread in main forum) but still managed to get four sessions in without blowing up! I had my first spin at Quarry on my last session. I went into the corner with far to much speed, missed the apex by miles, and as I went wide on the exit I ran over the grasscrete & that was that, ended up facing the wrong way & onto the grass on the infield. Still, the Sprint started up again straight away & I was on my way to complete another few laps. Quarry chalks up another!

You're bloody lucky, most people who lose it a Quarry end up in the barrier or another car. I wouldn't want to be your washing machine on the smalls wash<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
<br>
Very impressive lap time Mart, thats into proper sports car territory, As a comparison i know Rich's Mk1 does it in about 1min 24 which has a hell of a lot more power (albiet going sideways isnt the quickest way around!). I reckon the biggest improvement was probably your tyres!
