NI Sevens Race 1 28th August- onboard car 24

My on board camera shot of the NI Sevens/Roadsports Race 1 at Kirkistown 28th of august

Was an enjoyable race after some hard work to get abit of speed out of the car that is only new this year.

Unfortunatly too much entry speed in the chicane on the final lap and loss of talent cost me a seventh place finish! lol

Nice vid. Looks like some cracking evenly matched racing there! You were a bit unlucky!

Yellow ones are faster

You may regret saying that!!

Just watched that robin, from 9:30 we had such a great tussle! i didnt think anything of the size of that gap into the chicane at the time i just went for it! lol fecking awesome racing, i cant believe the championship is coming to an end

Im going to have to look at the my brakes, i see from the video's is locking on EVERY corner the front left! so im going to have to see how i can resolve that! brake bias valve i did notice my brakes where really spongey in race two!

You seemed to be locking one of the back ones a fair bit.

I found the bias valve really helped as long as I can remember which way to turn it in the race

Oh do you think it was a rear? That's odd then! It doesn't feel like it's locking at all! I think I'll get a valve in over the winter and some new brakes!

I need to sort out something out with the back end

Graham curry had a photo that showed that the rear of the car is rolling like a ****

If you look at the video on youtube i think it's better quality and it looks like the back?

Yeah rob noticed that about your car it seems to be very roly at the back end.. What rear spring rates are you running?

Think they are 200's or sumit like that???

What you got??

180's! But.. A car with no roll bar runs something 350's so I'm told!

I have no anti roll bar!!! I think Colin has an antirollbar and running something stupid like 4-500's. Might see bout getting my car professionally set up.....

Do you have antirollbars front and back?

Yeah I've playschool rollbars front and rear! I run 250 fronts 180 rears. I know jimmy has no roll bar and runs around 350lb springs! It's an easy mod.. Springs are something like £35 a pair from rallydesign!

Looks like great fun, lads!

I'd love to do something like this...is it expensive?

The racing is less than 2000 a year. If you put effort in you could get that through sponsorship. then the cars are anything from 3000+ depending on your engineering skills/time

Kit Cars : MK Indyblade

That's a newer road legal version of mine that you could almost take racing tomorro or drive to the shops!

Get on it cutter! I've had such a season!

Do it!!

Sell you one in bits Graeme

I see I really did help you in that first race!

Yes I have to thank you for that lol didn't make much use of that lol

Btw if you need a hand or anything with the rebuild give me shout. Seriously.

Cheers Robin! It'll likely be a slow process, get it stripped back and go from there. Might not be as bad as it first seemed though!
