Knockhill. I'll try and make it down on the Sunday - try not to break anything before then. Are you ok for pitlane support - I can make it more definite if you'd need a hand.

Marco come on now ask yourself the question Scottish Motor Racing Club!?
Matt always needing a hand mate but i reckon we won;t be too pushed for time this weekend as i'm sure we have one round on saturday and one on sunday so lots of time to eat stuff off the bbq in between. Come down whenever mate if you can manage.
Nobby yes it will be on the televisualiser mate in a couple of weeks. I have now got my in car video back working so i should have some in car footage before then i hope.

I'll keep out of your way then. I've got my gearbox sorted now with a fully forged dog kit. here's hoping i don;t break it too soon as it was expensive. I'll be running it in tomorrow and generally just taking it easy. Got my first new tyres too so i'll be holding nothing back for qualyfying on saturday morning.

There is a bunch of 4 of us who are pretty evenly matched, well we were at the last race anyway and i have to say i was the best saloon racing yet so here's hoping we can have more of the same. I think realistically i am fighting for a podium position all going well.
Yes new tyres, only on the front mind but i'm hoping they will help.

My weekend was not really any better. Went a little something like this:
Friday 1st session - Blew off a boost hose Friday 2nd session - Went like FCCUK, wow!!! Saturday Qualy - Melted actuator pipe Saturday 1st race - Started last and finished last - burst a boost pipe. Sunday 2nd race - blew a boost hose off at the start DNF.
Total rubbish weekend for me and the first time i have ever had problems with hoses coming off etc. That's racing i suppose.
Yours sounds a lot more concearning than mine though, i hope you get it fixed soon.

gutted for you both Sparco, was it a case of just clamps not working/ old failing? or just not put back on correctly?

Changed back to a standard manifold which we ported and ditched the stainless one as it is just falling apart, the wleding is atrocious. So the actuator pipe was closer than before and we didn;t notice so it just touched a little and melted. One the clips faile at the throttle body and the pipe that burst was the reducer pipe coming out of the turbo. Managed to source one on saturday but it wasn't the correct size so had to sleeve it with a bit of the burst one. Didn't work basically. I'll order 2 now so that i have one as a spare and i'm changing all clips for the Mikalor ones which should stop hoses coming off or clips failing. Won't stop hose failures mind but then you can only count on so many things. Just an unlucky weekend.
