Quaife atb diff used (abused?) for the first time. After some pointers from the more experienced, specifically - turn in, boot it, hang on and don't lift, I finally got the hang of it.
Definately needs commitment to get the best out of it, but confidence level and grip at the front is improved everywhere.

Flat on the throttle through Willow with the tyres shouting enough was a leap of faith though....

I love my diff....

More to come through Quarry! come and watch Richard Vale, a lot more throttle than you, know he's on better tyres, but you can go faster.

wasn't just the flags, i didn't start the clock one one run too so just overheated the tyres as they don't like it.


Sunday did fall better for me run wise but it felt a bit average, did just about equal my PB though on run 3

Harewood off.

Harewood off is second crash in as many outings.
When things go against you this much in hillclimbing you really do wonder why you are subjecting yourself to such punishment?
Nobody harder on me than myself and really feal at present I'm far too out of my depth with single seaters to compete again in this class.
Feeling very sorry for myself as you will detect but I guess that's the nature of hillclimbing.
Take my hat off to the "Force" hard chargers of Will,Eynon & the brilliant Richard for competing at such a high level of commitment throughout the year!
A big thanks to the marshals and fellow competitors who expressed thier concern after the incident.
