Lots of fun I would say Drew....
Well... Not all fun.
My X5 tow car was flat as a pancake this morning, which was a bit of a snag, given that her track car was on the trailer behind it. No problem, thought I - there are spare batteries, including the pack to start the race car. Jump leads and it should fire.... No chance. Not a flicker. So, I put it on a fast charge, and left it 20 minutes, whereupon it fired instantly as though there was nothing wrong at all. Now, I wasn't really expecting it to start, but tried it more in hope than expectation... Bizarre, no? I can't believe my battery charger put enough juice into the battery in that time to take it from zero to hero. Checked the other two batteries I use, and they were both fully charged, so I really don't understand why it wouldn't fire with one of them attached, unless the 1 month old battery in the X5 is duff?
Anyway, arrived late, but no worries since they know me as a repeat client, had a special briefing for her and the rain started.
So, missed the sighting lap sessions, but again, since they were happy I know the circuit well they allowed me to take her out on sighting laps. Plenty greasy but ok.
Came back into the paddock, and the rain came down in buckets, so it was clearly coffee time. Met up with Tim who was instructing that day between hoping to fit in test sessions in his Revelation race car (home designed and built Radical style machine, in which he won a couple of weeks ago), and sorted some instruction for her for later in the day. We were just about to go back out, when Tim appeared, ready to take the instruction session! That was fun to watch as he discovered it was a bit lively on the back end on a couple of demonstration laps before Susie drove, but we both agreed it needs better tyres (those fitted when we bought it have seen better days, and were not choice items to start with), then we spotted the nail in one. Game over... There's no spare. And then it REALLY started raining. Sausage butty and back on the trailer
Fun, no spins despite the challenging conditions, and a good idea of what needs sorting on the car, starting with decent rubber.
