Chris,

Neil,
Has Chris S sorted the cat? By the results it looked as though he had a good meet.

I had some expert help at Worksop and got it going a bit better. I still think it has a long way to go to get it how i want it. Done another servo and that made me crash out in the final.

I think chris's car is close to being set-up... Maybe a couple of tweeks left. Then he's got no excuse when i lap him...

Still can't believe Pack TQ'd and won the A. well done.
Qualifying was good, with plenty people looking to be on TQ during the night.
Final was great, with Chris Green, Pack, Neil and me all in the lead at one point.

That table top was ace! Best feature so far at Jarrow.

only because me and you crashed trying to pass each other. I looked at our lap times and we had 3 laps (crashes) which were 22 seconds plus. All of packs were 19 and 20's. It was the tortoise and the hare. Slow and steady wins the race. Dunno bout you but i had more fun racing between me you and chris green. Some pretty close racing and everyone was clean... Plus you and pack had illegal tyres on....

I was actually going to suggest that we all run full spikes to keep it the same for all. Obviously when somebody new turns up then they can run whatever.Just a thought.

aye illegal full spikes... Nah mini spikes are better but after 3 weeks they need changing. Full spikes last about 5-6 weeks... I still think new mini spikes are better...

Aye I thought they were running full spikes. Do you think you get better grip with full spikes on like Neil?

depends on the track mark... If theres no carpet out, full spikes get more grip but if theres carpet laid in certain places then mini spikes work better, however james chappell has put some great TQ's in the past and he always runs mini spikes. Chris clark always ran mini spikes and he used to go very good at jarrow also... some weeks the hall is slippier than others but overall i think mini spikes are best... sayin that am gonna race full spikes next just as a comparison...

That isnt a bad idea chris, if there was a "gentlemans agreement" on which tyres to use it would make the racing a little closer. You could concentrate more on driving rather than tyre choice.
Also what inserts work well on these old school tyres ? And any suggestions on where to get them from.
