I did contemplate making myself a true enemy and selotaping the face of Sebastion Vettel to the front of the car!!!

Maybe I should get something a little more "British" next time!!!

The Merc has been suitably repaired and beefed up ready for the next round!!

Hey all,

yup, racing tonight. Usual location, (scout hut at carpenters down). Starting at about 5.30.

Ian's away so your race directors for the night are Mister Baz and I. As you know, the timing equipment is very new to us. Barry is, as we speak, configuring a computer to run it. Please be patient with us - we'll do the best job we can!

Assuming we can make it all work, it'll be a similar racing format to last week (running bangers). If enough people turn up wanting to run hotrods we'll try to run those too. Normal racing fees apply (see below). If we have any technical (or skill) failures we'll run the night as open practice / tuning / fun racing, perhaps finish with a last man standing demolition derby if we have enough takers! Are you all feeling brave?

See ya there!

Davey.

Ha, after several weeks of occasional work - cutting, shaping and adjusting the Minor shell until it was spot on, today was paint day.

Okay, so perhaps it was false economy going through my stash of 30 year old car paint! It's fair to say, these old cans don't spray too well. I'd say I'd have done better by flicking spoonfuls of emulsion at the poor thing from ten paces!

Add to that, neither of the two cans marked 'Trafalgar Blue' (the colour of my old minor), actually turned out to be Trafalgar Blue. One of them was green and the other was certainly not Trafalgar!

So, choice of trying to rub all that down and start again or get creative... I got creative and chucked some silver glitter paint over the top.

But hell, how long does a shell last for anyways, and perhaps the runs in the paint will make it go faster? Ha!

If the paint ever dries this is going to be the ugliest car - ever!

Blimey - I didn't realise how many screws had fallen out last week... and most of the ones I still have were (and still are) bent!

Agreed! Nice to see a general increase in both violence and damage too! Nice one!

Hey Terry

Good to hear from another Mardave driver!!

I run a V12 hotrod int he banger races. Its been modified a little, extra bumpers etc. The large steel battering ram and flame thrower had to be removed. Shame!

External Bumpers are allowed, as are ESC's. We don't banger to the complete rules, but do have alot of fun.

We also have an ever growing junior section but the adults don't race against them as they're to good for us!!

I'll ask our scruteneer's to deal with the ministock question. They like to think they are very important but frive soem right dodgy looking cars!!
