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…
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…
With many of the regulars missing today, and the track wet to damp and chilly, the chance to grab some easy points was irresistable. I set the B6.4d up with…
Bit of a testing day at Cardiff today. I prepped by putting stiffer shock oil in. 500cst rear and 600cst front. I think this worked on the rear, but might…
