Rocket II

[st3ph3n]

Was trying for the streaking car look. Kind of worked I suppose.

Roll on next year!

[jac]

Brilliant day out. Top respect to you guys, that hill looks very scary. My jaw hit the floor when i seen the rocket scream

up the hill. Awesome car and aptly named. It was good chating to you and Arch, hope we didn't pester you too much.

Didn't get any photos of you john, but got a few of Arch which i will post up.

What were the results for the year ?

[fai17]

Thanks for a wee lookie around your motor John and was nice to meet you and Archie.

Car sounded immense and scray lol

Do you run a screamer rather that a redump into downpipe?

No Screamer, where it's located it doesn't need one.

EACC are running a track day at Kames in a couple of weeks. Pre-requisite for entering would mean you have to join EACC and have a helmet. Lots of peeps have expressed an interest in maybe giving Speedsport a try. Greig has been playing at Forrestburn and seem to like it (hasn't the balls for Doune it would appear though ) and Donald has sampled both Doune and Forrestburn, he seemed to like it

A track day at Kames would be a great place to dip your toe in the water without any pressure. Much easier on your car than KH because of the relatively slow speed, but the sensation of speed is as much if not greater.

Archies first event was there and he has subsequently over the course of the year managed to pedal a relatively low powered car round it in 91secs which is well impressive, I can think of only 3 other Saloon cars that have gone quicker, and they all have at least 100hp more to play with. Great time to do it to as it gives you all winter to play with car spec if you like it

I went down to EACC on Thur night to join the club and have a look at testing, but it was closed.

My car won't be ready in a few weeks or a would jump at the chance.

There is a Sprint on at Kames today and tomorrow

Greig, dates will be set next weekend at Committee meeting. You can prestty much bank on the fact that all the events will be the same weekends as they were this year transposed onto 2009. (The odd one might move). Closing date for entries is usually the Monday after the Sprint Practice day at Kames, so around March

No disrespect to Archie, I just like to point out your mistakes John

yea thats why im gonna need to put in some extra effort to make it, wouldent want to dissapoint anybody now would i

just tried to join the EACC just now but it wanted me to download a form from there site to fill in with my details, these f***wits i work for out here have banned us from downloading any kind of attachments onto these machines fo security reasons

so looks like its going to need to wait till i get home before i can get it sorted out, just hope theres enough spaces left by then
