ok just put a repaired block in its had new rings and main / big end berings in i put 200 mills on at gentle revs but got a 12 car on friday i am useing a new driver so not shaw his style but i dont have any other car to use also i put new shoes in and now its really hard to lock the back wheels at speed (cheep shoes :x ) even though i have ajusted the hell out of them and put a new hand brake cable in
so
A just marshal
B go and be a boss in the car (keep driver in cheq more than usual )
c go and wingit and give it a good thrashing
hmm

Be the boss, your car, your money, your rules. It's easier to pull back from a strong position, than to get tough later on.

See how the first stage or two goes and how the car and driver is performing and then re-assess.

only 200 miles on a rebuilt engine & an unknown drivers style??...........hmmm....would advise sitting this 1 out, putting more miles on the motor& getting together for some practice/assessment with the new guy

yer i think i will just marshal on this one i still not shaw about the handbrake new shoe on and cabel ajusted up ok but still not working well
and i dont want to damage the new ring / berings just eager to get it out down the lanes
was just talking to lee and we may do some historic stuf but he just had a baby boy so we will work some events out when me and suzanne go over to see them the weekend

I agree, if you go out and compete you will be smoking by the end, wont take much to do some damage. Get some miles on it test it under 'controlled' conditions first

oh yes i am going to controll the bolocks out of this bad boy

Enjoy

You be a good boy now and look after the old girl............
If I find out youve been naughty I will have to come round for a full inspection :shock:
