Re: The return of Bertie

Enjoyed Donny last week. For about 3 racing minutes. :cry:

Think Craner Curves have killed another engine.

Re: The return of Bertie

We have withdrawn our entry for Thruxton. Apologies to anyone who was hoping to meet Bertie at this event. Can not believe the extent of the work required to get the engine back together. Simple little things, but we've had to wait our turn at the machine shops, so a head skim is 24 hours, drop it o...

Re: The return of Bertie

We've been to Brands where surprise, surprise, we had more problems. Qualified 24th overall, 6th in class. Managed 16th overall, 5th in class by end of race one. Retired in race 2. Bertie felt lacklustre and slow. Tried hard but could not get him to run crisp, just felt flat. Head off - valves are l...

I think it has more to do with the anti roll bar set up than the spheres.

Re: The return of Bertie

Damn those front runners are quick. The double race winning space frame Moss Motorsport Anglia averaged nearly 95 mph for each of the races at Silverstone compared to 77 mph for Bertie in the first and nearly 80 mph in the second. Problems with the clutch and fading brakes slowed us in race 1 and ad...

Looks like tough competition next week - 4 Escorts, 2 Anglias, 2 MGs, Fast Car Pug, Supra Turbo, RX7, Lotus, etc plus a 6.2 litre Morris Minor, I kid you not.

Re: The return of Bertie

CSCC Special Saloons are at Silverstone on May 1st. Bertie has been entered. We'll probably be lapped a gazillion times by the frontrunners who will possibly include the famous Thundersaloon Carlton and the Morris Brothers Fast Car Pug 309 to name a couple. Last time we did one of these events the r...

Re: Toyo R888 tyres

Apologies for not getting back to you sooner. I'm going to be about now for the next couple of weeks if you want to pop over. Shipping costs are about £10 per 2 tyres so prob worth coming over.

Re: Toyo R888 tyres

I'll get a price on shipping to Manchester unless you can pop by the Gatwick area. For a BX forum member say £20 apiece or £200 the lot.
