Shelbyfest 2011

[gjkrv8]

Firstly - a huge thankyou to Tony and Jason and all who assisted in making it a great weekend - my first (of many I reckon).


Great fun was had by all.

(My) Highlights:

1. Nearly spun out on 3rd corner on first lap – cold tyres, cold track, inexperienced driver (soiled undies).
2. Beat a Supercharged Cobra in the ¼ mile "S" drag
3. Beat a GT40 in my best Lap time.
4. Overtook a car and changed into 5th instead of 3rd gear coming into the corner and they then over took me on the next straight.

Overall the car went brilliantly, no overheating, braked straight, cornered well, accelerated well.

I'm hooked.

Currently building my list of minor mods for next year. (Better tyres, adjust brake bias towards front more as rears did too much work), and a slight little engine tune.
(I reckon the first photo with the sunrise should have that Top Gun music playing - it just reminds me of the opening scene when all is quiet on the carrier)

Thanks
