1st time on track in about 6 years so whatever the way the 2.5 hours of tuition was set up I was going to enjoy it.

It was a car and bike session about a dozen of each.40 minutes or so in the class room,then we were split into 4 groups each with an instructor.Quick coupla laps all in the one car with instructor,then follow thy leader(instructor) for about 20 dull laps,dont profess to being a knockhill expert but b'jeezus this bit was pretty mince after about 5 laps,obviously for total novices which I suppose these gift voucher sessions are set up for??

After this it was a half hour of free track time,bikes first,then us after a couple of laps in the old beastie it started missing at about 4800/5000 revs ....coil pack sprang to mind?????,just a stutter then was ok towards the red line. Kinda tried to keep it under 5k for the remaining 20 laps or so .

Recently changed back to standard air box with TSL panel filter,do you reckon disturbing the Maf could have damaged it thus causing the hesitation problem,driving home it wouldn't do it[:^)]..only happening on track,maybe the extreme track temps were affecting summit.

All thing considered it was a good way to get back on the track after a long absence...and the auld banger more or less survived[H]
