[andyturner]

Hi,

after the ass whoopping I got last weekend I'm going back to Mallory with a lap timer for some practice. Providing,

a. I can get some new wheel bearings

b. The lap timer arrives in the post

I'll be going back this Wednesday.

...does anyone else want to come?

Regards,
Andy

I am also returning but going with No Limits in May. While happy with a lot of the course I was going so slowly round Edwinas it was embarrasing. Slow corners and getting on the gas quickly is a weakness I must improve.

Dude - I got overtaken by a some kid on a push bike!

Anyway, I've got all week off next week and its only £55 from 13:30 to 17:00HRS. If it turns out to open pit lane then you could have up to 3 hours track time for £55!!!!!!

Regards,
Andy

what worked for me was concentrating on Edwinas to Bus Stop - took at least 4 secs off my time alone - the rest is easy after that

hhhmm?
a. You're right. Didn't make 4 seconds but did make 3 seconds over all.
b. Bollox - the rest is not easy! That said managed to get round Gerrards entering in 5 gear at 6000 rpm. Note to self: Need bigger testicles.

During the racing my best was 115 secs. Today I was making 112's. If I go 4 more times between now and Anglesey, washing off 3 seconds a time, then maybe I stand a chance

Best regards,
Andy - No.31
PS. On the testicles note, I'm off too play with my vacuum cleaner
