COBRA – 30/03/2025

Posted on March 31, 2025March 31, 2025

After the dampest of squibs on Friday night, I spent Saturday Prepping the B7 and B74.2, to rescue what could have been a rather depressing weekend’s racing. Practice with the B7 was OK, the backend was right with the heavier lower shock…

COBRA Clubbie – 31/03/2024

Posted on March 31, 2024March 31, 2024

Bit of an end of an Era today. With a B7 on order with Mr.Finch , this will be the last time I’ll run the B6.4d on Carpet. It’s not going in the bin or being sold. But it is going into…

COBRA Club/Vintage Day 21/01/2024

Posted on January 21, 2024January 21, 2024

I haven’t got around to writing up the last round of SWORD yet. Suffice it to say that I’d kind of lost my way with the b6.4d. I’d been playing around with some settings and confusing myself a bit. Not to mention,…

COBRA Cardiff SWORD Rd2. 05/11/2023

Posted on November 5, 2023November 5, 2023

Sometimes a win doesn’t mean you crossed the line in first place. Looking at today from that angle, means I can claim a couple of wins today. B74.2d I set the ride height this morning and didn’t have to touch it again…

Anyone want anything Printed?

Posted on October 31, 2023October 31, 2023

I’ve been busy with CAD and my new 3d Printer! Over at the shop there’s all sorts of new goodies that can be sent out by post. But I’m more than happy to bring anything you want to a race meeting. I’m…

Cardiff SWORD RD1 – 8th October 2023

Posted on October 9, 2023October 9, 2023

Sheesh… Motorsport is hard! Thought I had everything down for a good showing at this opening round. It turns out I had a bunch of problems waiting to bite me. The day started with the handle falling off my Hauler, & that…

SWORD RD5 COBRA Cardiff – 05/03/2023

Posted on March 6, 2023March 6, 2023

The timesheets might tell you I had an off day today. Catching a cold, burning out a motor or losing a round to a pinion with a stripped grub screw might also lead you to think this. But that’s not the whole…

COBRA Sword Round 4 – 05/02/2023

Posted on February 5, 2023February 5, 2023

Made a bit of a pigs ear of the final by being too tentative in the first few laps when the car was going better when I pushed it. But overall, I was happy anyway.

SWORD RD3 – Cardiff 08-01-2023

Posted on January 8, 2023January 8, 2023

After the last few calamitous meetings (Broken C Brackets, FUBAR Transmitter settings), today was more about putting in a solid, cock-up free run. That didn’t happen in the morning. Practice and Quali 1 went south due to wheel nuts not being tightened.…

SWORD RD2 – COBRA 04/12/2022

Practice. Stripped a Spur Gear. Heat 1. After rushing to fit a new spur, Pinion came undone 2 minutes into the heat. Heat 2. Clipped the wall a couple of corners into the 1st lap. Tore a corner off the car. Car…
