2Toledos Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Had a great day, too. Will do a more extensive 'report'; later and upload a couple of the pictures that Sam (my wife) took. Got to go and do the Fathers' Day socialising 'thing' round at the in-laws, now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Toledos Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 As stated earlier; I had a great day. Rather tiring; but, plenty of 'Red Bull' kept me from wilting in the summer heat. But it did catch up with me once I'd got home.My lap times were nowhere near as impressive as Martin's and I only managed to shave one second off my previous best at 1:37; mainly because I was being a little cautious after just fitting the vented brake setup, and they hadn't done enough miles to 'bed in' properly, added to the fact that my overdrive decided to give up the ghost half way through my second session, so that messed up my already amateur gear selections; AND after a visit to the rolling road last Monday and got the carburation set up properly (finally); my power band and peak torque were/are in a completely different place to what they were before - so I spent most of the time in too high a gear coming out of bends.Anyway; it was a good education and I'll be trying a few things differently next time out, and I'm hoping to improve my lap times further on September 4th ! If not before ? I think some different tyres might help too - I was seriously impressed at how Martin's car stuck to the road on the '032's - my ADVANs were squeeling quite a bit, and I think that may also be a factor in my easing off a bit on some bends - I figure if they're starting to squeel; they're not far off 'letting go' ?!Likewise Martin; thanks for the rides in your 'smokey oven' ;) (my temperature guage never gets above about two-thirds up the guage :P - perhaps I'm not revving her hard enough ? ::) Between us; Martin and I shared 8 sessions out on track taking turns in our respective passenger seats with stopwatch in hand. My 'new' brakes are definitely bedded in, now 8); so it's just a case of my building up my confidence in them and seeing how long I can leave it approaching bends.Sam's pictures are not overly impressive (bless her); but here's a couple of the best:- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Toledos Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Why does she always take better pictures of other people's cars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Toledos Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 A little bit too wide coming out of 'Bobbies'; but not as wide as Martin's exit from 'Quarry' on the last session ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Toledos Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 A guy at work was at CC at the weekend, and apparently he loaned his camera to a friend, who had managed to catch a "couple of old Triumphs" out on the track... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
