Cadwell evening trackday with Javelin - 27th Aug

[][\/][ajor]

Thanks for those just off to chuck up.......

You make it sound so inviting....lol

Did wonder if I should post them but it's only a flesh wound. The daft thing was my wife had bought me some nice new gloves for my birthday with carbon fibre finger protectors to make me safer......it was the damn carbon fibre bits that dug in and took the end of my finger off! The end was literally hanging off with the bone sticking out the end and skin and tendons holding it together. The medics at Cadwell rinsed the muck off and pulled it back on. You'd never guess that from the pics would you?. They really were top blokes....My collarbone also decided it wasn't up to the impact and decided to break in 2 so I now have a banana shaped collarbone but if you haven't got any scars....you've not lived....well that's my excuse anyway

It all got a bit hot under the rear clam at Cadwell and a hose let go right in the bottom of the V. Had to had the tow of shame off the track after the session was stopped

In the paddock I found a 1" split in the pipe but unbelievably, the first person I asked in the paddock had some spare hose and clamps which he happily gave me. Managed to get it changed after burning my hands on the hot engine but only 10 mins before the end of the session which was then closed as someone crashed!

Oh well. Going over to Blyton this weekend on the 6th with some friends so I'll see how she performs.
