Thanks guys, it takes a real lot of effort to make things like this happen so having some support always makes it all the more worthwhile 8-)

I know I'm campaigning the Teg again and not the Lude (yet) but at least I'm sticking true to my heart and still showing the benefits of the mighty H22 8-) - In actual fact there is rather a lot of Prelude in that Teg...probably more Lude than Teg if I'm honest :lol:

Got a few minor issues to sort out before the next round at Silverstone but nothing too troubling, so fingers crossed I get a bit of free time to concentrate on improving things a little more :twisted:

LOL, no not at all.... it's just a small issue with the heavily punished n/s/f cv joint deciding to seize itself up with 3 laps still to run. Turning became ....errrrm....interesting to say the least :lol:

Great work Rich - awesome stuff as usual! I'd expect nothing less. :wink:

Are you the only one in the Super Tuner class? What does that mean in the grand scheme of the races with other classes?

Cheers Rob 8-)
No, there were 2 of for Oulton with Rik's Mugen ITB'd FN2 Civic.
Another Super Tuner runner this year is Chris Olive in his K20 EK Civic but he couldn't make Oulton.
Andy (VTEC Direct) ATR may also be jumping up to Super Tuner yet as well.
Stew's mental build DC2 is still in Tuner class as it's capacity is still within the regs limits. Puts out around the same power as mine but can run lighter as no weight limits. Unfortunately he broke his diff in qualifying so couldn't make the grid for the races.

There is plenty of fighting between the classes ie a quick "production" car vs a "tuner" or "super tuner car".
The series is run as a "Challenge" so points are not awarded as such. At year end each class has it's overall winner though..... and of course we all keep score ;) :lol:



Cheers Chris 8-)
