Force Racing ICT Dept Manager Miglia Turbo Am frum Yokshyer tha noes!

Well where do I start with this one!

The saga started at about 3pm friday, we were all raring to go until i discovered my mini wouldnt go on the trailer i had borrowed, turned out my mini was way too wide and way too low. So i ended shooting to mr austins to borrow his spare trailer (JFs old trailer of doom). Turned out my car was too wide for that aswell ha! So i ended dropping some GBs on her and bunging my splittys in the car. Finally we set off and was a fairly smooth journey, arrived around 10.30 and had a great night chatting to the lads etc etc.

On my first run the marshalls were pissing around and put me through to race a bike??? So he pushed me back and I had to wait a while, by this time my temp gauge was pushing the 100 mark! Like a tool i decided to continue and go ahead with the run, I set off running 15psi it felt really quick aswell! Snatched second and went for it, everything felt good up until the half way point, when all of a sudden a big ploom of smoke cam out the back, i went for 3rd and knew something was up, so i coasted probably a third of the way. I managed 15.7 at 74mph, so I think i was on for a bloody good run! When i got back oil was everywhere, pissing out the breathers, so off the head came, no 4 piston has a nice melted edge just under the inlet valve side *frown* Luckily everything else looks ok, it was the diagnosis of most peeps who looked at it that heat was to blame! So ive got a cooling issue to fix! Dry deck i recon.

To top it all off the trailer had a blow out on the m42 *angry*

Thankfuly the legend that is Tom Fenton spotted us and pulled in! He looked like an angel floating toward me bearing gifts such as a spare wheel and impact gun! A Massive thanks to him for the help he provided and big thanks to carl andy and john for offering theyre trailering equipment! Nice to chat to you boys and a couple of the Mrs TM's! Roll on MITP!

Overall (barring the trailer mishaps) a good weekend
