Harewood championship,
aiming for top 10 overall this year using it as a development season and have a good crack at winning it next season.

Cool, I don't venture up that far North myself lol
My mate Sarah Bosworth won the Harewood Championship in 2012 in her Elise (Road Going at the time but now runs in Mod Prod)

Yeah she's quick, She didn't enter many events last season otherwise she would of been up there.

 

[Sonic Boom]

I think she's concentrating on the MHC which I run in.

New Ovvy's & Lid

These arrived today, I fitted them this afternoon all I have to say is the @pure-motorsport gear shifter is extremely good piece of kit, I'm very very impressed.

Worth the money over the scenic one?

If only they didn't vibrate!!

 

[Rubicon_]

I'll be ordering one next week I think, looks a great bit of kit!

A tough one john, for a road car maybe not for a mostly track or competition car I would say yes, well worth it

If only they didn't vibrate!!

Man up dude, lol, I'm Deaf as a post due to all the Scania's with bad diesel knock anyway.

Nice one, did you buy HANS posts for your helmet? as its now a requirement for circuit racing (im guessing you aware).

Yeah buddy the Bell came with them fitted as standard

 

[sonny172cup]

nice one, just as that pic only had the locating points. Funnily I have to fit HANS ppsts to my old Bell...pita..more money

Shifter looks so sexual. Pretty much a bargain too when you think about the design, materials and fabrication involved.

 

[bashracing]

Get one bought Dan

 

[bashracing]

Took the car to Bram Racing in Pontefract today to get the geometry set up,
As usual Brad did a top job, I can't recommend them enough to people, they don't rush you in and out like some garages,
if you need a geo set up get yourself to Bram,

 

[sonny172cup]

Looks spot on... If i was being OCD i would put a 10min shim on the Rear Right, bring it out to 3min toe out

 

[bashracing]

I know what you mean but after all the bouncing over curbs at Harewood last season I was just pleased they were roughly pointing in the right direction, PMS axle strengthening kit is next on the cards I think.

 

[bashracing]

The missus rang me this morning saying she had kerbed the wheels on the Bimmer, on further inspection she meant destroyed them,
Both N/S wheels are knackered,

I rang a guy in bradford that could get me some!!!
Anyway 4 hours later and hundreds of quid lighter I have wheels, it was in the roughest area of Bradford on the roughest street I've ever seen,
Not sure how legit they are but they're genuine and one front and one rear as requested so I didn't ask anymore questions.

 

[leedsboy]

Good shout on Bram, been there 2 or 3 times and won't go anywhere else now. I have to put aside 30 mins more than the job actually takes as I always end up gassing with Brad and Michelle. Did they have the dog in? Haha

 

[bashracing]

Yeah lovely dog. I managed to convince Brad to fit a 5.9L cummins b series truck engine in his 300 tdi discovery too which should be entertaining

 

[dann2707]

Glad bram are getting noticed more. Started going there when they'd just started at the new unit and was a bit shaky on their feet.

Shame about the wheel mate. Hope that was worth a bj or three.

 

[bashracing]

I went on your recommendation Dan, I used to use track torque at tockwith who are also excellent but I try to support the smaller business' if possible,

 

[bashracing]

Having a training course at work this week on defusing situations and de escalating whilst re affirming your authority, I think my work mug says all of this in five simple words.

It still flaps like hell, you should have seen it on the rolling road with the fans on it on thursday

 

[sonny172cup]

Get a 3rd bonnet pin in there.
