AlexM Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 Oh well uhh.. yeah. Maybe next year? MOT tomorrow, then I'd better clean the car again (I'm good at this prep lark). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexM Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 Seems my second driver has dropped out on me, which messes up my expected costs somewhat. I'll probably do Round 1 in Class C Pro, then take the NA off the road and run my daily for a few rounds in A3/A2 Street.. Anyone after a new project car?

nevins Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Not good mate, can you not find someone interested that you can trust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Possibly, but I'm going to do what I should have done in the first place - concentrate on getting the TT6 ready. In the mean time I need to find a more suitable seat for my daily. Something as comfortable as stock but lower and with more hold.. going to be a fun search!

AlexM Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 How about some stock recaros? I've got some, with stock rails I have to recline the seat right back just to get in there with a helmet on - need something quite a bit lower. I didn't find the seats overly comfortable either unfortunately. 2nd driver? You can run multiple drivers in the same car in the sprint series, I'd planned on doing that and cost sharing with someone else. Last year 3 drivers were competing in one car!

Have a chat with John as he was looking to borrow someones car to make some low sitting rails and giving a set away as a thank you You can run multiple drivers in the same car in the sprint series, I'd planned on doing that and cost sharing with someone else.

I think that was for low brackets for use with sidemount seats.. do reclining sidemount seats exist? I see. Fancy having a go? Round 1 on Sunday!

AlexM Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 With the news that Craig is lighter than I am (and running a more powerful car) my first aim this year is to get under the weight of 95Kg + a double cheeseburger. To do this I have purchased a brand new skipping rope and my first skipping session attempt will be at 5:15 this evening (I have never skipped before..). First aim achieved, I am now 94kg! I'm going to be running a heavier car after Round 1 though, so I'll keep going.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I saw a track prepped turbo celica. In the local rag for £1750. Was tempted lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 Tempted isn't good enough Guigsy. I'll probably be running my TT Auto in at least one round, you've got no excuse not to have a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
