2006 Brighton Speed Trials

Hi all -
As well as keeping the forum posted on Malcolm's / Team happenings at Silverstone, I will also try to keep you informed re this year's Speed Trials at Brighton - taking place later... Today (Sat) on the sea front.

As usual a good turn out is expected - including club members Ian Catt in his Suzuki Single seater - Nadine and Bjorn in their Viper GTS's + the usual GT40 crowd.

I got home late this eveing after spending most of the afternoon and evening working on Dave Parker's GTD R42... I am pleased to say - (fingers crossed) that the missfire that has been troubling him recently we believe is cured! and the car is sounding mightier than ever!!!!

Add to that - we finished installing the extra 150BHP of NOS about 22:00 this evening (not tried in anger yet) and all solenoids, 2nd fuel pump and auto ignition retard via Motec ECU are functioning correctly. Dave actually looking a little, dare I say 'Nervous' re the prospect of using it...

Still - should be interesting when he does (6.3L Chevy)....

Rodger Burston took the Dave Wilson Memorial trophy last year with a well earned win in his mighty GTD40 Mk1 - with his bored and stroked 351 giving him a 408ci small block - topped with Weber's nice!!! - but can he hold onto it? - Remember the DWM Trophy is only awarded to a GT40 so Vipers and R42's will have to 'play amongst themselves' -

Will update you again later tomorrow (or in fact - later today!!!)
