You'll get atw, atf, ambient temp, din correction and a torque trace on the graph too.

Eidolon definately wins most committed, I think he had to go searching for battery terminal bits on THE DAY of the RR event to make sure he could make it !

I would disagree

I finished putting my engine on the night before last time, ran the car in at 7am in the morning up and down the bypass and then went to get it tracked when the garage opened before leaving on a full rebuild, with no testing, hoping that I hadn't made any mistakes

that is quite true actually, id totally forgotten you mapped your car on the road to the RR

I will definately be coming but don't know if I will be running.

I have 3 flat spots on acceleration from 1k to limit.

I think the exhuast is leaking at the join so going to get it resealed and take it from there. Could it be anything else though?

Scottland · 25 May 2006 at 09:09

I quite fancy attending but I won't be running. I won't know if I can attend until nearer the time though, is that a problem?

not at all, im not that bothered about spectators in honesty, my only real concern is ensuring we have enough runners

I missed the actual rolling road bit though, only managed to get to the pub part afterwards.

I won't go messing with anything beforehand this time, I promise!

Wow 30 people running, wonder how many will actually turn up though.

"lost" .... for several hours with the locals

Conanius · 25 May 2006 at 14:00

how absurd is this... I might not be able to make it !

well, thats a blatent lie, but its gonna cost me a train ticket to do so!

Im now being told for the 2 weeks before the RR day ill be in London working, so potentially if things dont go to plan ill have to stay on an extra week.. if this happens, Ill have to get the train home on friday night to be there !

now, if im gonna do this, NO ONE has an excuse !!!

paradigm · 25 May 2006 at 14:07

Have confidence in yourself man, things WILL go to plan

Anybody up for convoying from London?

There is one thing though: I drive slow on the motorways I'm afraid

I'll be joining the M4 from Windsor. I don't fly on the motorway either, usually stick at around 80ish.

Will Gill · 25 May 2006 at 16:22

oohh the suspense

I do more like 65

I've got used to going slower in my little toy... I give bursts of speed from time to time, but doing 80 just sucks the petrol right out of it
