 Re: Aaaaaaaaah AVON PARK COUNTDOWN [11/12th July 2009]
Be good to see you there Don Update here, Chaotic end of the week with work to say the least! at weekend had a mare with the header tank on staurday, got the car back together fully and running the engine in this week! only had time to fit one nitrous kit at the weekend and its the small one just needs a little wiring to finish. have to see if i get time to fit the other one  still needs a little tidying of the map but going to wait till im at the track for that so i can do it safely, so first coupl eof runs will be shake down runs.

Picked up the trophies today. I'll be there as early as I can Saturday morning. Juls, I've borrowed a tent to camp [last time 43 years ago] Sat night, you can show me the ropes on how to put it up Bob S.

This I must see - a tubo cox that's not coughing like a 20 a day smoker and not spluttering like someone with pig 'flu

Juls, as you've got a soft top [or if you exceed 100mph] you'll need a crash helmet. I don't know if this applies with the soft top up Bob S.

 Re: Aaaaaaaaah AVON PARK COUNTDOWN [11/12th July 2009]
From what I saw on Sunday, I'd say that this year's MITP is not to be missed. Looks like there are going to be some cars running. Stuart, I still say that brakes aren't needed to post a winning time down the strip.

 Re: Aaaaaaaaah AVON PARK COUNTDOWN [11/12th July 2009]
Well if you said something maybe it would had run  could of lent a hand about a month ago  So a quick run down from a sun baked memory 3rd Bill, Don's Son in his Libra 2nd Bob in his Libra 1st Myself in the Coupe, With a 12.39 Quickest reaction I think Bob may have it, can everyone check their tickets please and confirm quickest runs and reactions please. I think I may have the slowest reaction on one of my runs, 6.13 Seconds Trophies to be presented at Silverstone classic. Good to see a good turn out of cars almost one of each model! we almost had a Rossa 2 but advantage 998 had cooling issues before the event. plus we had other colours than just red! we were only missing a Rossa 1 and 2. most impressed and we had our first spyder hope you enjoyed yourself Juls West

I dont think anyone will get anywhere near Bobs reaction time on his first run of 0.461.
