I was looking forward to racing there ,(sharing A car with dean ) but they won't let me drive as I haven't raced with them before !!!!!!

Bummer last minute news.Darren there is a rule in the regs saying you must have raced at least twice before been allowed to race at Spa. I assumed you or Dean knew that and had it passed with the office. The rule is so the powers at be can assess your driving standards as I understood it and to stop people just entering Spa and not racing at any other CSCC round. Although I do know of a few people who only do Spa and don't race back at home unfair as i see it to single one out and not all. Will you still be coming over. We always have a cold beer in the fridge if you do.

I would have come over but I'm going to race at Silverstone now have a good one ( hopefully it will be dry and I won't have my wets on !)

Had to withdraw my inter-series entry unfortunately but will be there in support. The saved race entry fee goes towards the new bigger, better and more powerful engine rebuild!

Shame that Keith see you there.

All loaded now ready to go..................

What happened Perry?

[77racing]

Engine hydroliced when I went start it on Thursday morning, straight off the trailer. Bent rod ,split liner and bracken piston. Engine going back to builder to strip it down to assess all the damage.

[HUI]

Thas was bad luck, Perry.
Where did the water come from to make it hydraulic? Was it a water leak into the cylinder?

[77racing]

So been a little while, but she's back...................................................

Two things going on at the same time, one) a bolt sucked in from throttle boddies resulting in a bent rod, split liner , piston etc damaged , head work needed and valves. Two) that unseen devil ....................................DET you can clearly see it on both pistons. That was caused by me trying to ring all from the engine and going over the top a bit. It will go back in the hole later this week with luck and be used in anger with CSCC race at Combe on 12th August against two other rapid Tuscan's in Future Classic's can't wait. Bill & Stewart see you both there.
