Alford Sprint this Sunday 17th July
Alford Sprint this Sunday 17th July
I see Mikey and AlanG are on the entry list for the sprint at Alford on Sunday. I'm taking up my very slow Peugeot 205 'Gaulouise Smoker' for a laugh. Anyone up in that part of the world going along for a watch? If so, come and say hello.

I'm car no. 37
I expect to be last in my class as usual. Bit of a change from last year when I was second in class at Alford.

Yes, i'll be there. Don't know my number but i'll be in the brightest car there wearing a flat cap
I did Boyndie (66.6 Secs) but wasn't a busy sprint and I didn't know anyone, so glad to see more have signed up for Alford.

Alan, I checked back my old record for Boyndie was 73.51.
OK that was a different class - boggo Elise on road tyres but 7 seconds is a loooooong time, puts that 66 into perspective. Proper quick.

btw see your car was listed as Superlighter....

Yep, main problem though was when I found out that you had to clean the air filter more than once a year.
Went to Wallace and found out that I had 160hp instead of 220. Having said that I had probably reached my peak, and you were moving up on yours.
But, I would still dick you.

If you come along, you can give me some pointers as I never take the same line twice.

The "i've only got 160 bhp story" ..... in that case. The Caterham only has 120 bhp, used road tyres, soft springs and I only have one hand that works.tut wrote:Yep, main problem though was when I found out that you had to clean the air filter more than once a year.
