i only cycled across on the Sunday for a few hours, but looked a great event with a good turn out..

though was a little concerned that Mr Andersons police uniform trousers were held on with velcro and would be whipped off during the prize giving.. thankfully they were not

When I got home I honestly thought i'd come last (didnt bother looking at the board when I was there due to the aborted first run and poor driving in the second.) but seeing the results now i'm much happier, came 3rd from last =p More to the point in my last run when I'd gotten used to the format a...

Other plans for the wee beastie, in no particular order... * Bare metal underneath, treat rust/ weld in new metal and repaint * Sort out engine oil leak.

Hi, thanks for all your replies, sorry forgot to say it was my Chamois that we're going to sprint. I'll look into putting something on the bumper bracket to see if its upto a tow hook.

or the little fuzzy discs you can get to stop objects marking tables work

Not strictly true Si, if your placed in a higher group your car should meet the regulations for that group however most events don't enforce that ruling. In mod prod that would mean a laminated screen, 4 point harnesses and a cage as well as a MSA log book, regardless of its roadgoing status. Keith...
