All quiet on the western front. Busa Rush hasn't gone to bed - he's gone to work.

More cheerful banter later methinks.....

[Guest rizla]

great stuff pete,im taking my large memory card for the camera and the video camera

[Guest steve_m77]

See if you can pursuade Dave to remove the silver slug that's crawling over his number plate It's a bit of bling and has no place on a car that's going to beat the blades

 

I think you'll have a tough job, Dave's done some racing before and his car has a reasonable spec. (There's a picture of it in this months PPC magazine, bike engine feature) Does the Vortex really only weigh 420 Kg ?

 

This Sunday will be good, Stondon has some great cars.

[Guest Busa Rush]

leave my little morris minor number plate light it's nice :gdit:

if i am on the pace by the end of the day at barkston i will be happy

 

great bunch of blokes from what i have heard so should be a great day...

just a bit worried about noise 106db mine is @6000

 

how long is the course does anyone have a map of it? how many timed runs are there?

 

cheers

 

dave.

[Guest rizla]

heres the course.

 

ps,the vortx did weigh 411kg,but now weighs 420.3kg,official

[Guest steve_m77]

How long are the straight sections ?

[Guest John Walton]

The whole track is only about 1k long.

Superbly grippy tarmac.

Not that wide.

it will really make the Barkston Virgins think a bit

 

BUT IT IS NEARLY AS MUCH FUN AS YOU CAN HAVE WITH YOUR CLOTHES ON

[Guest Busa Rush]

cheers rizla...

 

some pics of barkston here looks grippy

[Guest megablade]

420kg ? The Megablade weighs 416Kg with a full tank of fuel, and padded seats!!

 

Busa,

 

Don't worry about the noise, I was asked what do you want us to test it at, after thinking got tested at 7000 rpm (3/4 max revs )

 

As for timed runs, last time it was 1 run each at the end of the day!! Cold tyres, balls out, eyes closed, grip seat with sphincter!!!

[Guest rizla]

the weight with me in it is un-postable

 

ive added a proper boot,additional screen etc

[Guest Busa Rush]

can you spin up the wheels before you start? if not it's set fire to the tyres for the first few yards..
