Clawhammer Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Yes, I have to agree, a great drive well done that man. I am off to the garage to find second gear now Robin SUPERLIGHT 176. PINK LIPS AND BITS *redface* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikes Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Thanks guys Very pleased with that time I can tell you! It was always going to be a tense last run with both Robin and Jeff making errors and being quicker in some sectors on previous ones, so never quite sure how it was going to go, and everyone else improving. Looks like that modified ecu really paid off 😬 😬 - only kidding. it obviously helps apparently being one of the few with a working gearbox!! You boys in Class 1 obviously had another tense time as well - well done to all. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SV Gary Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Mike - well done, significantly faster than the rest of us from the start - a great final time. I managed to get home ok. On inspection this morning sump cracked in 2 places and distorted on front edge - beyond repair this time see here and here - it took quite a hit. Anyone got a sump going spare 😬 The lead dog always gets the best view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikes Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Thanks Gary - glad you got home OK. I have got a wet sump lying around, but it has a similar crack to yours (but only one!!), although it has never leaked. Whether it is repairable I have no idea......

Clawhammer Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Gary, I had my sump welded localy last year. It was as bad as yours in the photo's, It's been fine since. Looks like you will need to raise the ride height too Robin SUPERLIGHT 176. PINK LIPS AND BITS *redface* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SV Gary Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Robin Unbelievably the sump does not leak from the cracks but due the distortion to the leading edge so I need to replace. Mike Thanks for the offer, I may be in touch if I can't find a sump that does not need repairing. Gary The lead dog always gets the best view.

Englishmaninwales Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 As a viewer from the 'touch line' all I can say is that Mr Sankey was very impressive 😶🌫️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame W Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Another vote for the MIke S appreciation society, 4 super runs, quicker every time out really showed us all the way, well done Mike. Don't seem to be able to get close to Jeff or Robin either both of who's times would have been better rewarded in any other company, thanks for setting the standard guys pity could not offer much competition. Also a quick thanks to Mark and the club for allowing us the priviledge of competing at such a historic venue. How did the battles in the other classes fare Grahame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
