You've hit the nail on the head there Andy, my car is lacking power at the minute (very lumpy since i fitted free flow exhaust and is getting carbs setup again in a couple of weeks) so we couldn't sprint past cars on the straights so much but all cars where holding us up in the corners even other 7's.

An excellently designed car and beautiful to handle Chris,,,,,Well Done and Thanks..

and all credit to you Spud for building such a great Roadster, i,m still amazed how well your car handles
& as for late braking into the bottom loop you best check the foot plate in the passenger footwell cos my feet were firmly wedged into it

thanks again for a great day.

cheers

Yes, it's most exhilerating at 100mph leaving it so late breaking before a long radius hairpin. Reckon it would have gone further though, if there was a gravel trap or longer run off i would have gone for it.

All this with only standard sierra front discs and rear drums, no overheating or fade at all. No need to spend hundreds on new discs all round, unless you have rakes of money.

well i,m looking forward to being on track with you when my own car is finished, i might attach a tow rope to the back of your car, as its the only way i,ll keep up with you
