It was a great day all round... the company, the track, the weather and the car!
I camped at the circuit on the Saturday night and had the pleasure of eating and drinking with SteveB, his brother, and his brothers son who were staying also. Good fun - I think we were the last people up!
I was initially a bit worried, as there were 50 cars booked and the first morning session was very busy - in fact it was even slower progress than the sighting laps at first. But after an hour things calmed down and there was plenty of clear track time.
Steve's megabusa spits some amazingly impressive flames on the overrun when he's dropping down the box into a slower corner. Quite a sight to follow
My car went well all day - recent additions of radiator and oil cooler ducting meant I saw maximum 90c oil and water all day. In fact, it was taking about 4 laps to get the oil temp up to 70/80c after which I was then comfortable to give it full beans.
Really, it needs a thermostatic sandwich plate fitted, but I've read these can reduce oil pressure?
Yep, I'll definitely be up for the next one of these CKC track days.
