My thoughts as well Coops!!
Mine made 402 with 6psi and timing set at 19 degree's all in. and I run bigger ring gaps at 35thou. And I run a carb and dissy so not exactly what you would call efficient engine control eh

I bet you cant wait to do a few gentle passes to log and set it up eh?

Yep!
She's a lovely girl

I also have 5 mobile sales reps going out to find enquiries for me to look at for small engineering projects. Sadly, mainly in London and Canary wharfe

My Boss is a real good guy. He pays well, but demands his pound of flesh in return.

Thats why I have the next 10 weekends booked for work with the odd Track day chucked in.

Its too busy at times. But it pays the bills and helps me hide a little away for racing stuff

Now I'm in my mid 50's I was hoping to slow down a bit, but work just keeps getting more intense despite the alleged lack of money floating around. At least I'm not self employed anymore so I dont need to worry about not earning when sick or on hols

BACK TO THE PLOT NOW !!!

COOPS!!
Saturday Night Special is this weekend .... I may do the Sunday if the car holds out ok??
