Running In
A good day running in the new engine.

A “new” block and a “new” crankshaft.

On a Wing and a Prayer
A test day and a race meeting. Unfortunately the ‘bay engine wasn’t up to it!

Snetterton. There’s a hole in my block dear Liza.
What a race, briefly. Started fifth, up to third and the tail of the top two. Then disaster, a ‘rod went and smacked a hole through the block.
Still it was a great meeting. Very professional, yet still a proper club meeting organised by the CSCC. I was inteviewed in the pit lane after the problem.

The end. Pushing on, with exhaust hanging low. Good times early on (live timing on your phone!). Harassed by a mini. First lap. Waiting for practice. Mirror and quarter light issues in practice.

Bedford Autodrome Shakedown
A good day. Everything bolted back together. New tyres scrubbed in.
Small problem with the exhaust manifold, but easily fixed. It could have been worse, it could have been a McLaren shakedown.
