    Think you need a faster shutter speed, I mean to say, the front tread
    pattern is a tad blurry FFS.

    Qualified 11th, 9th in Race 1, 8th in Race 2.
    Best lap of 58.28s ... not bad for 63bhp!

    Full details here:
    http://www.theresults.co.uk/theresu...sport/New_Era_070414_Brands_Hatch_Results.pdf

    Currently 8th in the championship on 35pts,
    with joint 6th in front on 38pts.

    I didn't quite get the gearing right; the new
    gearbox (6spd vs 5psd) has thrown us a bit as
    the final ratios are different, and we're still
    playing catch up with what we should be running.
    In hindsight I should have upped the rear more
    but we're almost on the limit of the chain as
    it is, so I'll need a new chain maybe.

    Other than that it was a great day, maybe a bit
    too hot for April if anything! Had a lovely slide
    round Clark curve, ground down the exhaust at
    Druids and locked the front wheel over the bump
    into Paddock, so quite an exciting day.

    Next outing may be to the dyno to play with our
    new ECU remapping kit I bought last time I was
    out in the States, but definitely at Mallory
    on the 10th for a trackday to learn the track
    (having never been there before) before the
    race on Sunday 20th.

    never mind that - you'd almost certainly be better off without the gay
    "tribal" paintwork...

    Thanks. It was a great couple of races and I
    really found some form (although not speed!) in
    race 2, but it's really frustrating when that
    guy who is 25' in front just won't get any
    closer.
    Its new for this year and the only track I've not done
    so far. I'm quite looking for to the "no pressure" [1]
    trackday to just sit back and learn the track.
    My r/h/s knee slider also needs bedding in...

    [1] yeah right!

    what? My 'blade's in the best colour combo for the year, no question.

    just in case you were wondering.
