Now i have caught up on the posts....


....the next report will be post Mallory Park on the 14th Oct 2012.  It will be a sad day, as it will be the last couple of races of the season and it will be the last race in the Fury.

I have decided to moved to Class R within the same series (RGB) but go from front engine to rear engine.  There are many reasons for this decision, but ultimately it will mean faster racing!!


Here it is in the hands of the STIG!....err sorry i meant Steve ;-)









I decided to buy Steve Robinson's Genesis RR as he has decided to sell up and maybe do the odd arrive and drive from time to time.  The car itself has had a varied history, what with various engines over time, but last year saw the car under go a complete rebuild and saw the arrival of CBR1000RR power slotted in the back....oh yes! 

The bodywork has been modified somewhat to reduce frontal area and hence reduce drag etc and the best thing about it is....the weight that it is, will mean when i place my lardy arse in it, it will only just be over the minimum weight limit for the class.  Something i haven't had this year i.e. a good power to weight ratio and when every gram saving counts....its very important to achieve as high as you can get.

Once Mallory is out the way...i will embark on stripping more weight out the car (within the regs of course) and generally tinkering with it over the winter months, with odd the track day for good measure hopefully.

Watch this space!

Cool, looks like you're all set for next year. Only one thing, are you going to re-spray to remove the pink?
