we change worn parts before they break just to make sure the car is happy
in thinking ( i treat the car right buying it new bits it will look after us)

My car behaves different Carl, it actually punishes me if I replace anything that isn't broken.
The only way around the replacement gearbox was putting my old red shell on it - it seemed to please the car and now it performs WITH the new gearbox.

so,

newer orange shell & old gearbox = great
old shell and new gearbox = great

any other combination = disaster!:jimmeh

Nutter.

Thanks Emzy, always reassuring! :jimmeh

before a rugby match i always have a poo...

...dont know if it has any relevance to racing!!!

No... it doesn't.

Welll... that's what I'm here for!

Quite a bit of reaserarch has been conducted here over the past few years into what the optimum alcohol intake is just prior to starting a final at a meeting, not an obsession, more a ritual.

Zero = nervous over-reactions
1 Pint of average strength (not Stella) - Ideal jangle inhibitor
2 " " " " " - Reactions dulleed too much
3 " " " " " - May as well be totally pissed

1 bottle of WKD is, I'm told, about the correct ammount.

Yeah Jim, I hate changing anyhing on my car if the car was going good, so I generally dont just incase the car goe haywire LOL:D

When racing outdoors i usually look to the sky before racing & ask the man upstairs to give me a break, then i drive into the first corner to fast & get a break, usually a front wishbone!!!

if i wear a hoody/jumper i roll the sleeves up and always turn left to right a fair few times before i set off :p :D

i get leatherd the night before so as i sober up it seems like ime improving usually about 2 seconds a lap;)

i steer left and right quite a few times before i start.. no idea.. to cure nerves maybe?

re twitch
 

And I thought it was just a nervous twitch that moved along the rostrum:eek:

well its turned in to abit of a game now.. i do it and you start to see a few straglers catching on and doing it, ive managed to get every one doing it bar one. i need to get all 10 going next time :D

I have a strange habbit of wanting to pull my socks up before I race, no idea why :lol: :oops:

I always reset the timer thingy on my KO at the start of a meeting too.

ive no idea how to reset my timer, any one?:p

Thats is correct tried and tested by me...lol

Get to the timer bit and then hold both the buttons down on the left. SHould reset it. i know what i mean :cool:
