Coaching Day with Lee Martin – Swindon – 03/05/2023
Due to the generosity of my mates Neale Carbis & Keith Halsey, I got a golden ticket invite to a coaching day with Lee Martin (Or should I say, six time European Champion and general fucking quick driver, Lee Martin).

After a morning of learning how to asses the track, basic lines, and some surprisingly gentle, sim

SWORD RD5 COBRA Cardiff – 05/03/2023
The timesheets might tell you I had an off day today. Catching a cold, burning out a motor or losing a round to a pinion with a stripped grub screw might also lead you to think this. But that's not the whole story or to see any of the upside.

Practice was ok, but I found I'd set my camber guage wrong and had way too much rea

Mendip Winter Series RD8 – 26/02/2023
Brass Effing Monkeys in Weston-super-Mare today. But cocooned in my Team 80 Fleece, it was worth it for the points. I suspected that there would be a frost or very heavy dew again in the morning, and given how cold it was, that the layback box and general wet or damp setup was the way to go. I was only half right, the first hea

Swindon Club Day – 19/02/2023
My original plans for this weekend got knocked into a cocked hat when Marlies' Clutch went on Saturday Morning. But seeing as I had an entry for Swindon, and she didn't need my car today, I managed to rescue some track time by getting out of bed early.

Thankfully, the layback box was the right config as the track was still pretty damp until late m

Mendip Winter Series RD7 – 12/02/2023
This week, I'd picked with new front steering arm pivots that allow you to change the Front Axle Heights, after I'd been finding the steering a bit wishy-washy on Mendip's astro. And straight off the bat, in practice, I felt like it had done the job.

In the first heat, I set the Slipper way too loose and the nut gradua

COBRA Sword Round 4 – 05/02/2023
Made a bit of a pigs ear of the final by being too tentative in the first few laps when the car was going better when I pushed it. But overall, I was happy anyway.

Sunday Morning, and Brass Monkeys is the least of it at Accommodation Road.

Chiily Mendip

With a Brand new set of Ballistics all round, a New Surpass 10.5 Motor, 3 hole pistons & 250wt oil in the back shocks, and the JConcepts Diffuser bolted on, I felt like I might have finally a demon ready race day.

SWORD RD3 – Cardiff 08-01-2023
After the last few calamitous meetings (Broken C Brackets, FUBAR Transmitter settings), today was more about putting in a solid, cock-up free run.

That didn't happen in the morning. Practice and Quali 1 went south due to wheel nuts not being tightened. Buh!

Quali 2, would have been ok, except for clipping a corner marker and copping fo

So I sent avid a photo of the -2 C-Bracket failure, and bless 'em, they were very good about it. Can't say fairer than that:

SWORD RD2 – COBRA 04/12/2022
Practice. Stripped a Spur Gear.

Heat 1. After rushing to fit a new spur, Pinion came undone 2 minutes into the heat.

Heat 2. Clipped the wall a couple of corners into the 1st lap. Tore a corner off the car. Car fucked. Went home.

Can't even be bothered to find a poop emoji to embed.

Mendip Winter Series RD4 27-11-2022
With many of the regulars missing today, and the track wet to damp and chilly, the chance to grab some easy points was irresistable. I set the B6.4d up with full monty wet settings and went for broke. And it paid off. A brand new set of Ballistic Buggy Spikes green on the front, and a set of Ballistic's Green Cut Stagger on the f

COBRA Charity Club Day. 20-11-2022
Bit of a testing day at Cardiff today. I prepped by putting stiffer shock oil in. 500cst rear and 600cst front. I think this worked on the rear, but might bring back the front a bit.

Into rounds 1 and 2, and two quite good showings, they turned out to be my scoring rounds. 3rd round I clipped a corner marker before the timing loop but ende

Motorsports are a constant battle to remember that you're usually behind a learning curve and rarely in front of it. This morning was a fairly brutal reminder of that.
