You will find out I am usually all talk when it comes to getting pissed. Too old, with memories of many sore heads, over too many years to bash it too hard these days. :thumbsup:

2 weeks and a bit to go :(

I will see you at the Super cars Saturday week with a spanner in my hand thou. You can't go to the " ISLAND" without a pitcrew. :)

Looking forward to meeting you Graham and thanks again for the use of your place - definitely making things MUCH easier for us to do the next 2 weekends and we really appreciate it.

I *could* be a late scratching for the sprint though- a nasty wrist injury has flared up thanks to some spirited driving of the no powersteering spec March Superturbo and also hanging off the end of a block and tackle (not to mention shoving one tonne about) to move the nugget around in a cargo container today.

Should hopefully mend in time but I reckon Duncan putting me to work today could be part of his evil plan to keep the entry for himself ;)

  • 2 weeks later...

After last weekend,,,watching the targa cars running around there I have re-assessed my top 10 goal. I'd forgotten how bloody long that straight is and how quick the rest of it is. In actual fact I'm a little nervous. All the big horsepower/torque cars are going to hand me my arse on a plate !!!.

I have a question though,,,not knowing if there will be a tyre changing mob there,,,is there somewhere competent in close proximity to the track that can swap rubber for me?.

Neil.

Just when you head out of the gates of the track. There is a sign about a motor cycle guy in cowes. I have never been there but i am sure he could change your tyres Neil.

I must say i havnt seen a car tyre place on the Island but that doesnt mean there isnt one.

Edit:

seems there is ONE.

Neil - Horsepower is handy at the Island no doubt but it's no substitute for grip around there. If you want a real horse-power track go to Sandown.

But there is sooooo many LOOOOOONNNGGG high G corners there that if you can be fast through them you'll get the times no worries. Just look at the times the Super-Karts do around there in comparison to Targa Cars. We get flogged by Karts!

At a day recently there was a mad punter piloting a bike engined Radical and the thing was in the high 30s, i think it was 1:38s or something crazy, so long straight or not, a Radical will be coming onto the straight 30-40km/h quicker then any road based track car

speaking of soft.... it looks like I'll have the drinking boots with me afterall :)

It doesn't happen often, but I'm feeling sorry enough for Duncan after his rotten luck at the supertaxi round to let him have the spot this weekend.

Better get that fridge well stocked Neily :D
