Time Attack

[gambler]

I have decided to enter the time attack series (http://www.timeattack.co.uk) signing up for the 2009 season. Well, I have always had a problem confusing ambition for talent.

Track days have been great fun. I just think its now time for something more competitive. I really miss the buzz from the pressure of competition I used to get when I rowed internationally. It’s also important to throw yourself right out your comfort zone every now and then to see what you’re made off. I started to get the competitive buzz when I started doing auto testing last year. Tar and grass tests, I do prefer grass tests though as I don’t have the brain capacity to remember a tar course on a Sunday morning. At the end of year awards I was given the trophy for novice of the year by the south of Scotland car club. Lets hope that I wont be using my grass skills as ill be trying to avoid having all 4 wheels on the grass. 2 wheels are ok 4wheels are bad.

My car is currently putting out about 400bhp which may sound a lot but ill probably be up to 150bhp down on some of the people in club class. Ill just have to try and make up the difference by taking hero flakes for breakfast. If that does not work, ill just have to stop being cheap and buy a turbo as big as my head!

A rough spec of the car is as follows - Exe-Tc dampers on race springs, new age brembo brakes, fully stripped out interior with bolt in cage2.0 cdb engine with forged internals sti3 heads and TD05 20G turbo

I am now trying to get through the long list of things to do to the car before the 1st race of the season at Oulton Park on the 25th of April.

There will be 5 races in the series

25th April - Oulton Park

17th May - Knockhill

31st May - Silverstone

28th June - Brands Hatch

11th October - Snetterton

Will there be any other scottish scoobies competing?

It will be good to have a tartan contingent. I think fee has the skyline? And i have heard about Johns car from andy forrest. Sounds like its quite a beast. Is he competing in club or club pro?

[thefastone]

I belive that John is competing in Pro...

I think Adam (Fee`s soon to be hubby) is planning on doing some of the rounds in his Impreza as well but due to working away etc its only the ones he happens to be home for

Andy Napier from AWD is also entered.
