Had a fantastic day at aintree sprint yesterday. A round of the TR Register club championship.
not just because of the glorious weather and Michelin star hospitality of fellow competitors the Holdcrofts in their corporate hospitality and transport truck!!!, but the seemingly never ending number of runs.
we had 2 practice and 6 timed runs. We only stopped due to timing technical hitches. Great value for the entree fee compared to others ( 3 runs in total at Shelsley was more money).
it’s a fast open track and for the GP aficionados there is still some 1950’s tarmac that they have saved ( the forming up area) that is the original tarmac of the GP circuit that the likes of Fangio raced on.
a good club house for catering and drinks, proper loos straightforward to get to.
only 2 of us in the class yesterday, me and my diy bitza car you know about and a Staffordshire base Howard Holdcroft in his FIA spec, beautiful TR4. Same colour scheme as mine (I have a silver hardtop) but his car is beautifully presented. I believe it’s a race spec engine on twin dcoe 48s!! How he can report fuelling issues I don’t know - he has 4 fuel pumps !!
for a change I drove to the event, apart from a few mins either end a 60min motorway run. This was enabled because Aintree is so fast I need to use my tall section tyres that will cope with prolonged hot road use ( my road legal) but usual sprint tyres are too soft !!)
it was great fun on the roads and I thought that the car may like to have a warm gearbox and diff for a change- especially as the oils and filters have been recently changed.
great variety of cars from top modern and classic single seaters through rally and road cars, MG, Morgan, Jaguar clubs etc etc
anyway I couldn’t get near my PB of 56.58 on a perfect weather day in April last year. So a 57.03 had to do to win the class. I blame the heat and slight head wind
hopefully full video to follow.
