been lucky this year, and the car has been very reliable. Ive had a few ups n downs, Ive always been able to drive to the track and back.
Dodgiest one was at Retro in July, when my blower belt broke, and took part of the wiring loom with it. I effected repairs at teh track, and did get home....but when I pulled it apart to see the damage, its a miracle I made it home !!
There were bare wires passing over just painted metal in areas I couldnt see.
Ive now altered the wiring, so that I have a 50A fuse protecting most of it ( aside from starter circuitry )
Along with an extra idler for my belt, I have a new Gates belt. So far its proven totally reliable after a weekends racing, plus around 800+ road miles.
Anyway, best so far was in October 2006 at Santa Pod, weekend of the Sat night drags.
On teh Saturday I managed a 10.07 @ 148mph, which I was over the moon with.
Then first run on Sunday netted me a 10.04@148.4mph.
I did one more run that day, as I got fed up queuing, and did a 10.22 @ 149.36mph
Im happy with that for this year. It really ups the ante for 2007 tho !!!!!
