Ted tells me he has arranged for Ultima parking in front of the main entrance this year. Unfortunately I am not able to go this year due to other commitments.
May be worth starting a list as Ted has booked room for 20 cars. I doubt we will muster that many but the sooner we know the better.

Sounds like this will be a vast improvement over last year where you had trouble finding the cars through the dust. Having said that it will most likely be raining.

Hi Simon

It's the 15th and 16th Sept. Mapping mine on the Dyno with my new 65lb injectors on the 15th. So it will have to be the Sunday for me. I saw 11.3 psi boost on Monday and my 50lb injectors were maxed out.

Erm, not sure about this one, missed last year too.

Dave, you must need bigger fuel tanks to support those injectors mine are tiny 36lbs/hour ones (sob).

Hi Phil

At full duty cycle the 65lb injectors would empty my fuel tanks from full in 14 minutes. I hope to see some good power after the mapping session. A dyno run on Monday with ignition settings pulled right back revealed 478bhp at 5900rpm and 480lbs/ft at 4000rpm. I was very disappointed. The ignition and fueling optimised should pull in another 40- 50bhp but it is still a long way from where it should be. The search for power continues! Hope you can make it to Donington!

Regards Dave

Hi Simon, was um-img and ah-ing as whether to go or not.

As Ted has forked out some of his wealth on the best parking for us, I think we all ought to honour him with our presence winksmile

Just one thing though, how do we get in for free if we are all parked out front?



Are we all meeting up somewhere?
Convoy??

Hi Simon

10 sounds good to me! I'm finishing off my mapping at a local dyno on Saturday. So if it all stays in one piece I should make it! I hope to make over 500bhp after this session. The winter project is to up the boost to 1 bar dyno it and then maybe 1.2 bar. Water/methanol injection may also be on the cards.

Hope to see you on Sunday

Hi All

All car clubs are parking outside the track this year, so no more infield dust problems.
