Bloody hell guys you where talking it up, now you are talking it down!
Every time I go out I go as hard as I can!
For the record I always bring my trailer, if any one breaks or damages there car I'll get it home for you! You will just have to drive my car home.
So stop sounding like softcocks and break the 60 sec mark so we can all move on :mrgreen:

You first Nigel!

What the modds dont nessarsarily give you is consistency.
I think this is where the improvement from seat time shows.
My aim is to stop making mistakes and keep consistantly quick
Like my last session at LS which i am quite proud of for an ametuer

1:04.84
1:04.55
1:04.65
1:04.06
1:03.48

... which is why I'm a big fan of the standard classes, where the car is not modified (except for safety items like rollbar, raceseat, harness), and so you can judge your driver improvement. Along the way, you'll develop consistency which allows you to test small changes to your car, such as tyres, brake pads, etc. Keeps the running costs down too, so you can spend it on entering more events instead! :lol:

'Little Reddy' is testament to the fact you DON'T need all the high performance extras!! Driver ability can get you there! Thanks, I look forward to the day 'Little Reddy' visits us for a few comparisons!!

OK all, I have just had a call from Ross C our Regalia Officer on his way to the MX5 Club Committee meeting and the last update on 'paid up' entries is 35 - looks good for us breaking the 40+ barrier considering we are still a week out!!

7 DAYS TO GO :!: :!: :!:

Really looking forward to that!! I hope 'regie' will be along as well but he may get a chance at Lakeside or QR next year!!

Charlie

28 day forecast shows nothing forecast but light rain forecast for Saturday aand Sunday, I suppose like this morning - 4 spits!!

I threw a glass of water out maybe 90 minutes ago and half the lawn jumped up for a drink!!

Totally 'off topic' I'm currently planning my 86th birthday, I think that will arrive before my 86!! Toyota now says December build, going out month by month!! :(
