Burpspeed Version 2: Race Car Build

[Jay Payne]

So much more goes into a race day compaired to a trackday, officials, timing, much more medical cover, marshalls, rescue vehicles, PA comentary etc etc.

Hillclimbs cost over 100 notes to enter and you get 4 cracks at the hill in a day (4mins of driving)

 

[Jonny1*2]

Fare point Jay, makes sense.

 

[Jay Payne]

Anglesey and mallory last year was worth every penny. Hope we have more days like that this year (without the alternator failure)

 

[Jay Payne]

The link loads as http://twitter.com/!/burpspeed, needs to be http://twitter.com/burpspeed (Without the ! part) for the people not logged into twitter as far as I know, before anyone asks about the page not working

I haven't been up to date with the thread, but notice some of the updates on twitter this year have the car completely white with no sponsers? You stripped it back for a new look again this year?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

The car got repainted properly, stickers will be going on soon I think.

 

[Curtis!]

Cheers ^

Nearly just Tony racing this year at the end of the vid...

 

[Jay Payne]

Experianced driver, it was all under control

 

[Cro]

Whats with the spoiler brake light and the normal brake lights working independently burp?

 

[Tom@JMS]

Spoiler light may double as the rain light - that's how the cup cars run them

 

[Daniel]

Experianced driver, it was all under control

Is that a posh word for old??

 

[Jay Payne]

Whats with the spoiler brake light and the normal brake lights working independently burp?

Spoiler light is wired as a Rain light. Brake lights in the lamps as normal

 

[rralston]

Nice! Good speed in the wet in Landow.

Last race of last year - first lap good, but not a lot else happens from there

I'll be at as many of the races as poss, could wear a mankini and hold a burpspeed sign up on the starting grid if you like....

Actually cancel that, you won't be able to see where your going if you vomit in ya helmet!!

You'll have to make your own banners.
They are running a race for the older cars at Coombe and then there is Spa which is too expensive for us to do,hence the long gap.

 

[Dan]

See what we can sort out then

Ahh right august at anglesey should be rele good day though if the weather holds out!

 

[Tony Hunter]

It was boiling last year.

 

[Ollie82.]

There will definitely be a load of us lot at Brands I'd imagine Tony.
If you need a hand with anything then I'd be happy to get stuck in.

Contrary to popular belief I don't break that much stuff.....
