Wheew, busy day racing The Pack.

The NG that crashed yesterday is deemed worth than thought, so bad news for Nigel.

I think i would be amalgamated into the Under 2 lires, and if so came 3rd in class on both timed runs.

However, all is not well with the car.

It has a really bad vibration at 2000rpm + to about 6500, and I think the heavy duty clutch is protesting.

Did the runs ok, 32.17/2.37/ 103 mph and 32.68/ 2.29/ 100 mph
PB is 31.08.

Thus I think the engine is ok.
Feels harsh enough to be a fail(ed) clutch, so some basic investigating tomorrow morning, but I fear it is the box off job again.

I guess 320 bhp / 300 lbft shock hit could be too much with sticky slicks at the other end. We will see.

Hope to strip it out this week and order a new one of a 'race spec' and back together for Shelsley in June.

Lots of other cars suffered issues, clutches, floor pannels, bent bit n pieces, ....

I was close to the class winner, and old class mate when I had the 911/Impreza.
