St Day Heat- 5th Final-DNF GN -DNF Happy with the 1st meeting with getting 5th in the heat, car was handling auful for me round st day but managed to make small progress for the GN! thanks to our very own Cabs! on the plus side even with the car not handling the best and never drove the track before was delighted to see i was only .4 off Bill Battons pace! And the DNFs were in the final i caught the fence on my own merit and wreaked the bumper and GN 76 Chris Rowe drove over my car and then with a little love tap from 38 Dave Polley which didnt help as i had a punture sent me in lol, came out smiling tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heat= 8th Final= 11th GN=11th 3 points and £5 points money lol, real happy as there was over 50 F2s there today and nerly all of the big names were down ie Bradbury etc, no damage just a bent bumper lol, was leading the gn for a while but the dreaded restarts soon put an end to that! car still pushing on comming out of corners but makeing small and steady progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 You looked as if you were enjoying it Si today, was unlucky with the restart etc, but hey ho thats racing. was also wondering if your engine was running sweet aswell lol as yellows etc were trampling on you down the straight. (maybe thats because they have pumped a lot more money into it than you.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon31 Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Had my 3rd meeting of 2009 on sunday at St Day, where the racing was very very fast. made big progress with the car as it was no longer pushing on but very taily now lol but think we may have cracked it for taunton on easter monday! Anyway my results! Heat= 10th Cons=9th Final=12th Gn=DNF Not the best of days, with only getting 2 points, but hopefully after Taunton the results should be alot better was leading the cons until 5 laps to go, and half the final even got a mention on the austospeed site Still keen as ever.

prydie#9 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 ive know this aint an F2 but thought i would update on how my son was doing in the autograss. We built a new AX for this year and have a new paint job of black/red/gold the first weekend we had a few problems but this weekend the car was up to speed, with Muz winning heat 1 on the sunday. heres a few vids from the weekend cheers prydie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon31 Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Nice to see you out there jimmy, and Muz seems to be getting better and better every week Raced on sunday at St Day, was my worst meeting so far lol Heat 1= DNF, was 6th until last lap got spun and car wouldnt start. Consi = 9th Final= DNF,went in to the the 1st bend and my steering wheel came off lol and got hit by 877 Eddie Darby GN= DNF= was leading most of the race but herd a big rattle so pulled off as didnt want the motor to go! anyway for next time changing the axle and shocks, going to a 4 link axle and trying some protech shocks Si#31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon31 Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Kruiz, a 3 link axle is where you have to bars comming from the axle to the chassis, one on each side and a bar on the top of the axle in the centre, a 4 link is where you have 2 bars on each side and nothing on the top, should make the car more stable going into the bends. What happend to jimmy? found out the rattle today, my tran x gearbox has gone tits up! so ripped it out today and hopefully will be able to fix it! rather it be the box tho then the engine lol Scrub those tyres in mae, they dont last long on the rear lol Si#31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
