nice video Stu

You better give him his money back Stu!

Cracking day, good craic , happy with the car, apart from the short shift gearlever that's going in the bin ! , or eBay ! , Constantly missing third, just a Wooley horrible change, and thanks to the chaps for helping with adjusting my clutch to help, well deserved win for John, life in us old stagers yet ! , I also , along with Nick W had a grass excursion on first run, but nowhere as dramatic as Rich's !

Thanks to Mark for sponsoring the class, sorry I couldn't wait for my 'pot' but thanks for picking it up guys

Is that the rods knocking i hear on 112 the white car?? does it not have a central oil pickup..........Hope i'm wrong.............

That was close Rich ........not that I saw anything on a video that doesn't exist

I hope you wrong too ! yeah it's got a centre oil pick up pipe, oil pressure never dropped below 50, I have some incar to put up, once edited, it has an individual sound, it's growled like that since I built the car, no problems so far ! , it also has some very cheap demon tweets trumpets give it a rasp !

John still beating me 13 years on !

Still got some time to find !



I missed a gear on the last run, Johns diff was playing up, Rich went bollard bashing and Mark was closing in so fast, if only we had got another run in ! ...

Had a great time on the hill , improving every time . Won first prize for most none approved safety clothing
Next year
Msa helmet
Msa overalls
Change from 3.1 to 4.1 diff
Great to meet every one ,roll on next year

I remember that day well. Murph I've still got a photo somewhere from that last run braking to late on the last corner finishing on top of the cravel pile

you know its good when the crowd start running!

it stopped about an inch from the tyres!

Top marks for artistic merit Rich.
Why just use the track when there's so much more fun to be had on the grass??

Just put up over 200 pics taken by my lad yesterday, its only a small camera with no lens, but plenty of shots for you to look at, and gives you a flavour of the day, ill apologize now for quite a few shots of KEC !

There some great pictures there and nice to see some experimentation with angles. I had a camera similar to you lads 7 years ago but soon realised the limitations of it. I guess he will be asking for an upgrade in about 6 months .

Also looking at them I'm wondering were the time went because I didn't get as any shots from the paddock and never had a look round the car park, especially that Lancia Fulvia.

Here's some shots of the Class 19 runners and riders.

Bit more track action






























There's a slideshow of all my pictures on the following link
