it's a thought

i couldn't get the interweb thing to work for me so never got a page up..i idid get some pledges but as we retired i can't realy collect them...|BUT i have been using t a charity box and it's getting heavier...

i'm doing another event mid nov where i'll be using it again..now i know , from past RBRRs . that Ct have issues with banking cash.. so my Q is , when i count the cash in the box, who shall i make a cheque out to ?

John's opening post is not the only time this subject has /will be raised...i even got asked a similar question .on the sunday morning ,by a photographer...iwas in the car park at the finish , early, as we'd retired from the event ..the organising team.of which i'm not part of, are always aware of this issue...and the event has evolved ..there are more controls...allowing  crews to stop....and giving them more opertunity to think about driver changes,,the''buffet '' at the finish this time gave crews a chance to wind down ..and ,with a bit of fore thought ..book a hotel and stay over
ive always done it in a 2 man crew...and as to the driving hrs ...you could easily do 4 on 4 off, not tiring at all that's 6 driving stints and 6 rest ..and if you only sleep for half of the non driving sections you get 12hrs kip over 2 days ...that's hardly taxing ..there are a multitude of ways it can be done ..but working /knowing what's best for you and sticking to it is essential

Cars pretty much done it drives well just a bit slow  and by slow I mean it drives at normal speed but then I am running it on a normal dizzy so cany complain

Quoted from Steve28

Is that the order of importance lol

jobs left to do
oil change for diff
rewire spots

head gasket change

i put some on the list the other day...just gone back in to add to it and the list i put in has vanished?

i've tried the red bull and it did extend my driving time but then i couldn't sleep when i needed to...so in the long run it didn't help..best thing is to know your limts ..drive to them then swop and get some rest

been out for another little fettlin run...running much better ...oil pressue lower than i'd like ........just need to sort the overdrive out and fit a few comfort bits

Apart from a new facet fuel pump failing after about an hour...things are on schedule...need to sort an oli leak frrom overdrive box...wire overdrive up...re wire spot lamps.. change diff oil and tidy the inside...oh and drive it a bit .

car 127 now has an MOT no advisories....it then bfoke down on the way home  from the MOT man...leccy fuel pump failed..but sorted now ..just fettling runs to do

another daughter letting her dad down ...bloomin disgrace

looks like it's sorted ...team 127 [not 126] will consist of me and Dave 1360  we're gonna have a meet up at some point and decide which car to take    Dave has given Jason his details

Quoted from timbancroft61

Doug,

No one on the reserve list. Present entry level is at 147no.

Have a chat with Jason, he may have news of someone looking for a drive.

My co-driver [katie] can no longer do the event ....so

option1 find another co driver..volunteers?

option 2 jump  in with someone else ...offers?

option 3 pull entry and let someone from the reserve list have a crack

any other options concidered

Nearly finshed replumbing the fuel line  ,inboard, then just need to weld a hole up in the floor...put there by me ..then MOT

Quoted from Velocita Rosso

No, it was a certain big guy from Lewes.....I know it was an airstrip ....but trying to take off?

might, only for a run off against a certain other saloon

Team 127 ...engine and drive train all fine and dandy...car just missing an MOT ..it ran out ... need to weld a hole in the floor...put there whilst autosoloing last year... various bits of upgrading being done , to bring it up to regs etc  will be doing a few event pre RBRR...and i do have a spare engine in the workshop just in case

go back three spaces...to stirling to pick up a crew whose car fell off the road

if it's photos you're going for , i was talking to a guy , locally that was interested in taking pics of motor events

I know the CT system of paying in cheques is a bit slow...but i keep looking at the money sat in the bank and stop myself from spending it

entry went off first post this morning

It'll be the saloon on the entry form ..GT6 as second car spit as 3rd
