Cadwell (Friday 13th) Not for the Superstitious

[Paul Gibb]

I was at Cadwell today getting in some sneaky practice on the Kumho's (Big to Mel Williams for the tyres and *thumbup* to Tony & Caterham for separating the old ears and carriers when both I and the local garage had failed - destroying several allen keys in the process 🙆🏻). Although I am still struggling a little with my 'new' radial setup the Kumho's feel at least as sticky (although less durable) than the ACB10's they replaced.

On to the Friday 13th superstition bit:

Offered no.13 at signing on & politely declined 😳. I needn't have bothered!!

Borrowed several expensive tools to torque my rear hubs and promptly broke most of them .

Final run of the afternoon flat chat along Park straight, clutch pedal felt spongy changing down for Park and then went nearly to the floor changing down into Goose Neck Literally flew across the apex in neutral before finding a gear and executing a monster high speed spin to the inside .

Bell housing contains clutch fluid & as yet I don't know whether this has come from a union (potentially fixable tomorrow 😬) or from the piston itself .

Is this bad luck or what?
