My hat goes off to Roy and Paul for a trully spectacular effort. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Indeed Roy also beat the Ferrari F50 by nearly a second! The Ferrari F40 by well over a second and Lambo was just blown away.

I unfortunately didn't make it with the MDA.

I hired a runway for the day on Friday to get plenty of practice. We started very wet. Not the best of conditions. During the day we had a few unforeseen problems.

1) Clutch. AVOID AP organic clutches if you have over 450HP. I fried mine on every launch, it wouldn't even bite trying 2nd gear launches.

2) Engine problem. We had an idle problem that turned out to be No.2 not working. Worrying because we might have bore washed it. We'll find out soon.

For obvious reasons. i.e I didn't want to blow my engine. And the clutch that would leave me standing on the start line at Brighton like complete mutant! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

So how did the MDA go? Very quick indeed. Even with 7 just cylinders.

Paul and Roy will be having a fine lunch in the not too distant future on me.
