There is a good chance I will be home this year mid June :) Hopefully nothing gets in my way of being there this year, so put me down for it...

Hi Ian,

Thanks for organising another sprint day the previous two have been very enjoyable days.
I should be able to make it again this year so count me in, doubt I can manage 3 wins in a row though.

I have put the info and payment details on the 1st entry. Please all check, this gets filled up very quickly from other clubs as well and this year we are trying to get past Rally cars on the day so Rallying history have been invited by Dan to take part.

Worth a visit just to see the cars... you cant beat a fire squirting Quattro Sport in the forests...( Its got 4wd thats why!)

Just confirmed with Dan that I will be there... just need my ECU back from the USA - the DBW is playing up, so had to send the ecu back for repair.... should be back in 2 weeks, so still time to get the engine mapped with the WI :)

Bob will tell you about him...lol

I sprinted at Curborough many years ago and FTD was a young lad about 18 years old in a very well prepared 1600 Vauxhall Nova..... apparently he lived next door to the circuit and went round it most weekends..... Never judge a book by its cover !

as he walloped me I shall remain anonimouse !!! lol

turbonutter
10-05-2017, 22:13
Last time I was there was in my first stratos..... FTD went to a Group B Quattro packing close to 1000bhp from its compound charged engine!:cool:

Had a moment at the dyno yesterday when I thought I migh have to cancel ........ for some reason after the first set of dyno pulls one of the gear cables stuck... I did think it might have been the gearbox until I disconnected the cable, but thankfully the box is ok... as is the cable it would appear that the harness buckle had got jammed in my fancy linkage... another reason to wear seat belts!

Bar the Gear Issue it was all running good on the dyno :) Only plans are for a couple of short runs to verify the tune in the real world in case any tweaks are needed.....

We had a good day on Thursday, a bit of rain before lunch made the track interesting :) , but it didnt last long & the track soon dried out..

I had Alfie with me a wing man.... & we managed to be a couple of seconds faster than Bob :)

Hopefully next year we can get a few cars there?
