Well the CSMA autosolo at Bovingdon Airfield was a hoot. Slowly getting better at this competitive driving malarkey and came mid-table this time, which is better than my usual lower third! Must get some new wheel nuts - all the chucking about made the nuts and wheels have a disagreement near the end of the day. Managed to sort it OK though to finish and get home.
Next event is the Chelmsford Motor Club Gymkhana at Carver Barracks in mid-May. Really looking forward to it. I love these events, the best I've ever competed in. Hope to be able to better my last Gymkhana placement in March.
As for mods to the TR7, I've decided to accelerate the upgrade from a 4 speed to 5 speed (new job and 30th birthday present combined :) I've been collecting bits and pieces for this job over the last 18 months, knowing that the change over would be done in the future at some point, as the 4 speeder has seen better days. I've been helped along the way by lots of very willing club members and am really grateful for that, particularly around the provision of used parts - thanks :)
Still haven't decided whether to do upgrade myself or give to the family mechanic. Devoting time to the car seems to be more difficult these days with increased work pressures and getting the house improvements finished before the baby arrives. In which case, I think TR7 time will be out of the window for a while!
