Myles Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Having just done my first bit of sprinting at a Curborough test day this week, I was wondering what class my car falls into so that I can check the recent results and gauge where I might have come and whether I should give it a proper go... The car is an untuned 1.6 k-series (with competiton exhaust, if that makes a difference) and I managed a 63.97 on hot CR500s - but would probably use my RE720s... Keep BC free and open for ALL.

KenEvans Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Myles, you'd be in class 2 on the RE720 tyres and class 3 on the CR500's. That time would put you on the right side of half way down the class as shown in the May results here Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted June 12, 2004 Author Share Posted June 12, 2004 Thanks Ken. Gawd knows what I could manage on cold 720s - I did try one run at the end, but the timing was messed up... ☹️ Keep BC free and open for ALL.

david nelson Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 Myles with a time like that class 2 would be the best for you Class 3 are very unfrienly (and can not spell) and do not what more compotition. 😬 If you do join class 3 rather than 2 you will be more than welcome. On a serious not, cr500 do not last long, since joining class 3 I have gone through quite a lot of rubber. I have since mored to 32r 's and this has improved my times. If cost is a factor then class 2 is the way to go. good luck in witch ever class you join. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted June 13, 2004 Author Share Posted June 13, 2004 Thanks for the info. I don't think I can justify CR500s on a long-term basis - I did wear quite a lot off them... ...and a job would be quite handy sometime soonish... Could be class 2 then... If only the timing had worked on the single run I put in at the end of the day on my (cold, road) 720s, I'd have a much better idea of where to go... ☹️ Keep BC free and open for ALL.

Area Representative Richard Price Posted June 13, 2004 Area Representative Share Posted June 13, 2004 Myles, RE720's don't stick very well warm or cold! (neither do many other list 1A tyres!). CR500's are likely to be worth at least 2 seconds, possibly more. A high 65 second run would be very creditable for a first time out! Why not try and get a last minute entry for MIRA, and join us in class 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted June 13, 2004 Author Share Posted June 13, 2004 I think there'd be too much to arrange before MIRA (license, race suit etc...) Maybe the next available Curborough....

No Nuts Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 I'm getting serious withdrawal symptoms chaps so may just try to get an entry in for Curborough 2. Not at MIRA as I'm off on holiday. Not quite sure what to do as I'm not taking the 7! Still, hopefully it'll be a relaxing time. 😬 Guy NN 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
