Just goes to show that fun can be had in small (Ford) engined racecars!

Zwartkops was a blast- Chris entered me and he in TVR 1600 cc Tuscan in TT Enduro and little giants

Chris did first little giants- finishing 6 – now these guys have a break out of 1.20- he was 1.21

The day before I did TT practice and did a 1.19.3- must be a fluke……….??!

Anyway TT was disaster with Chris coming in with throttle linkage trouble. He found a missing screw and sent me out but with no more than 4500rpm

Next lap throttle cable broke!

Once recovered we just managed to replace cable before second little giants race

This was fun

Starting 6 and finished third but broke out big time with a 1.18.4- Peter Du Toit then penalised me and dropped me a place ( to a car I had overtaken!)

But we still won the overall total time across both races

Chris is a bit grumpy about the break out- what could I do?

In prizing giving I said that Peter had said I was too fast- I said that that was because we had no speed limits on IoM!

see here for the show

Sounds like the owner may have sold the car - so I may have been of some help after all!
