Noticed on the entry list that Richard and Paul have entered their Nobles for this round, I will be there in my Radical so will make sure to say hi.
Tony.

Hmm, I think this year is going to be a bit of a spectator year for me watching Richard dicing with you and the Juno's at the front of the pack.
Mind you I can't wait to get behind the wheel and its on slicks - first ever time!
Regards
Paul C
that'll be me then! See you there 
See you there. tonyf said:
Weather doesn"t look brilliant guys but hey, this is england.
Sure is! I was at Donny on Sunday and we had a track which started cold and dry, moved to warm(ish) and dry, then to warm(ish) and wet and then to plain stupid freezing and wet with blizzards blowing in - looked like you could build snowmen in the gravel trap at Coppice at one stage! But as usual good ol' M400 just took it all in it's stride and it was a real hoot. Much, much, MUCH better behaved with revised camber settings and decent stoppers.
Robp,
Good to hear that although the weather threw pretty much all four seasons at you in one day, the car handling was fantastic. Hard to believe that only a Palmer Jag and an Ariel Atom could live with you on the day! So, once again the Roush camber mods work
, which is always nice to know. Mental note about the lights, though!! 
Next the inter-cooler and throttle-body mods.....

Indeedy -they worked a treat. Was going to post seperately, but what the heck. Camber and suspension mods were a perfect balance (not compromise) for road and track. Just driving on road at normal speeds you'd never know there had been changes (which is a good thing -no fidgity feel requiring lots of correction, no tramlinig). But on track the changes were very noticeable - car turned in crisply and without fuss in the cold and wet at speeds that before would have had the far-side tyre just skipping uselessly across the tarmac. Back-end even more progressive than before on breaking away.
In the dry - having most of the tyre in contact with the tarmac instead of just the outside 1/4, allowed higher speed turn in and allowed you to get back onto the power earlier -so even quicker exit speeds to be had. Although the tyres never got properly hot, there was absolutely no sign of near-side tyre shoulder wear (characteristic of Nobles on clockwise circuits).
Definitely a highly recommended for anyone who does more than the occasional track-day.
(But we will have to adjust those headlights!!)
