Colerne - a fantastic day!
Well I'm just back from the Colerne Sprint, the third sprint that I have competed in this year. My improvements in times were encouraging:
Practice Runs 1) 105.51 2) 99.02 Competition 1) 103.22 (stuck piston on dump valve slowed me down, replaced for next run.) 2) 97.92. A big thanks to Don Norchi for all the support in replacing the piston and fitments , helping me change a set of tyres when the going got drier and the general driving advice which was invaluable. It was nice to meet Hamish, Natalie and their son for a chat and to see Hamish compete in his Jedi!

Hi Iain, well done in your new car, what were the track conditions like? How did Hamish get on? More details please guys. Nice pics Nat where's the video lol. Sorry I didn’t make the CB meet mate but the “Force” intervened and I was called to Mersea Island for sea food consumption lol.

OK here is a video of Hamish at the start line - his two stoke engine is very noisy! This car is also for sale if anyone is interested!!
Oh and here are a few of Marcus learning the ropes! There was also a banana yellow 850 on the M5 near Gloucester with blacked out windows, came passed us at warp 9 (we were towing a very heavy trailer) - come on admit it who was it!!! NUTTER LOL! Nat xx Edited to say that Hamish won his class |
