Did someone have piston troubles there? I heard someone melted a piston.

Some questions though?
What happened to Carl Austin, why just the one engine?

As yet unidentified problems with the drivetrain of the rear engine

What happened to the TT2?, saw it in the campsite and passed it going back up the m6.

Had a brief chat with Wil, major engine problems after a good run on the saturday.

What was wrong with Jon's car?

It blew an intercooler hose off and then fouled the plugs up

What was the story with jimster? did it run at all this w/e?

It did run (as in the engine ran) on saturday but it didn't make it up the strip, despite a lot of bloody hard work from Jim and TurboDave.

think it was the TT2 that melted a piston
the honda one dropped a vlave which made a hole in the piston*frown*

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

A lot got bogged down with the huge amounts of grip.


Where was the grip?????? I wheel spun in first and second, ALOT*laughing*, couldnt control my feet*laughing* just dumped the clutch*laughing*

Any way, well done those men, Bloody entertaining. Fantastic week end overall too.

Well done to Tim, Nic and Matt. great times guys.

I had a really good weekend, didnt go as quick as i hoped for but still improved on last years time slightly and at least its still in one piece and got me home safely. I really need some more practise and to rig up a switch for high boost, it was all or nothing trying to launch on 15psi.

Yeah a good weekend, and 13.2 is ballistic.

We managed a 14.01 on Saturday at 15psi, then had more fuel filter problems, but sorted it and upped the boost. This was when No. 4 piston melted. It has scored the bore, but it might be recoverable.

Yes Well done Tim And Nic, not surprised about your time nic after seeing you at the pod earlier *happy*
For some reason i just couldn't hock one up over the "whole" weekend, but if i had it would still have been a very high 13.
sorry I had to go earlier as I was feeling very ill and tied, and was worried about getting home so I though I better leave early.
Cheers for Hoggy for taking my tent down! (well his tent i was using)
