I’ve been here a while, not so much these days posting but I still moderate behind the scenes a bit, always have a bit of a nosey but tend to be too busy with family life and my interests to post much here these days.
My cars been through quite a bit of a change recently. I’ve the past years after mlr sprints ended we’ve been sprinting with javelin, then last year we moved to msa events with the Longton and district motor club, running in modified production class. I did 5 events there and got the lap records, most of which have stood for years. I now hold the msa club records for Anglesey, national and international, blyton park outer and eastern and the 3 sisters. Won that championship last year which was nice. I also ran at a few time attack events but had some issues with the car a broken gearbox at one and a dodgy acd pump upsetting the car at the other.
The end of the year seen my turbo bend the shaft so we changed it and now she’s a flyer. The spec is massive, so much so I’d really struggle to remember it all. Some old timers will know the car anyway, it’s basically a stripped red 7, it’s a custom cages international cage, good bit of aero, Alcon stoppers all round, 2.3 stroker g30 770 turbo and xshift sequential. All bits in between. :blush:
It’s currently 601/615lbft and pulls the torque at 3500 so it doesn’t hang about. I’ve a rr printout from riverside racing but my tuner let off at 6k rpm as it was moving off the rollers with every strap on. I’ll not put it up here because I can’t be bothered with the discussion rr graphs start. This is just about a few recent pics not debates on figures etc.
Took it out for a little shakedown yesterday round oulton park and we managed a 1:51.17 not particularly pushing it as I was bedding the box in.
This year we were entering time attack but it’s pretty pointless now imo so I’m doing a few single round entry or rwyb. First being oulton next month. I’ll probably look at doing it fully next year now.
Pics anyway. If you have insta you can follow my progress and see the journey up to here. @oldredracing you can also find the page on Facebook at the same.
Thanks 😊
