The Cal-look Lounge

So far we have 17 Outlaw Flat Four cars signed up to race, CSP and Ron Lumus racing the turbo Razoredge Ghia (8 second potential) and many cars from the Der Autobahn Scrapers (DAS). Maybe Udo Becker as well? Ole? There's talk of some Split Bus racing with the BWA and some Vans from the Ultimate Street Bays (USB). It sounds like it's going to be a fantastic event, just like last year, only better!

Anyone else coming to race or spectate? Would be good to hear from y'all - especially those of you coming from abroad! Come on Tekken and the SCC boys and girls!  8)

Regards, Matt

Hi Matt,

I'm going to be there too, who do I need to let know I will
be racing?

Oh yes.  Gonna do me some Yank spanking alright :o

Bigger fuel pump permitting of course Matt  ;)

the farmers will be attending but with no cars see you all there   hector

For those of you in Europe who are planning on visiting us at the end of May for Gary's Picnic, we have organised some discounted ferry travel and entry for you.

So we can organise the discounted entry at the gate we need a list of names by the 21st of May to give to the organisers. For those of you who have not already spoken to Bernie Newbury, can you please email him mail@bernardnewbury.co.uk with your name and the names of those who will be travelling with you, so that the track knows who to expect.

Bernie will come back to you with the details and arrangements for the discounted ferry travel and how to book your tickets.

Looking forward to seeing you all in a couple of weeks. 

Good work Bernie and Carol 8)

Thanks Matt, it was not only me and Carol says it keeps me out of mischief ;)

Should be there on the Sunday to spectate!

Jamie

Are you suggesting Martin's Famous James , I know he's missed , but complement's will get you nowhere  ;D

Cool- thought I'd ask as they can be a bit funny about rear engined cars at certain events (hot rod drags comes to mind) Lets hope the weather holds- should be a good event- See you there  ;)

Whats the score with camping, do you need to pre book?
Anyone reccomend a b&b?
Cheers,
Kev

MMMMMMM chilli dogs  ;D

Ze first german contingent will arrive at precisely 21.40 hours on Thursday, put ab camp in ze coach headquarters and await ze arrival of ze support team ze next day.

Not the first time and we learn from mistakes  ;)

are going to lay your towel on the track first thing Friday morning frank to get best position ;D

The sign is really crappy to see - I look out for a few markers on the road first!

You'll pass a pub on the left hand side, set back with a little village area, then various houses and farms on both sides. The road widens where you need to turn, with a lay-by on the left, and then a right hand turn filter lane into the track in the middle of the road. Pat and Vanessa went flying past last year - there aren't any signs until you're level with the entrance road.

The sign itself is a white background with the Shakespeare County Raceway logo in green, very difficult to see from a distance, and as i said, it's pretty much level with the filter lane. You're better looking out for the road signs for "Long Marston Airfield and Storage".

Might look something like this if you are coming the south... If it's wrong I will remove my post.
[attachment=1]

JHU, you're nearly there! It's the right entrance, but I come from the other direction. You can see the Shakespeare County Raceway sign in your picture though, just on the far right of the picture! ;D


I wish I'd thought of Google street view... :D

Good luck everyone, should be a fantastic weekend!
 :)

On route from aberdeen now!
Hope the weathers better there...
Cheers
Kev

Hi Kev, Weather has been hot today. Tomorrow, not so great some showers, but sunday and monday very nice :)
Plenty of room near us for a tent :)

Adele

Updates??

Update - Rain  :( Its due all day today so I don't think much racing will be going on :(

Tomorrow and monday the forecast is better though so fingers crossed.

Steve where the tea.

just got back there was lots of vws and lots of rain track was dried and ready but just as the first cars started to get ready it rained again ::)
some amazing cars from uk and eu hope it clears up tomoz for everyone :)

this is as close as it got today >:(
(http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/dannyboyz4200/008-2.jpg)

Well we have sun and no rain so let hope we all going to get some runs in today. Also Steve I'm still waiting for that cup of tea.  ;D

Kettle's on gayboy!

I bet people are crossing their fingers all over europe. I know I am, Allthough I'm not there I'm waiting to see some pictures and timeslips.

X2 Jesse..

Suns out & they are running!
Dont mention glenn's red light though..

Oh yeah, we all know Glenn's a bit of a tart  ;) what's all that about then?

29.3@40mph

Brakes stuck on again? tell him i have a "please pass" sign he can stick in the back window :D

Good day, got burnt!  Too many oil downs ruined the flow.  A lot of cars and some very good times.

Seconded, and it wasn't the VW's leaking as a rule either. Just got back to Devon so will upload some pics tomorrow!

Sounds good,any good times???

Crazy McStairs was running low 10's but with some impressive mph figures, first run about 130 (Sure someone will have the exact times!) Seemed to be having issues launching smoothly, once thats sorted then easily into the nies I would think.

just got back.  Congrats to Lee Crofts into the 11s with an 11.98 if I remember correctly.  Also to Pete Shattock with 11.87 in full street trim.  Quality runs from James Wotton 10.33 in a crosswind and Jim Smith 10.9 at 78mph!  Was an issue with 4th so effectively a half pass.  Sounded a bit of an animal.  60foot pb for Adele 1.46 very nice resulting in an 11.27.  Shame about Bernie and Andy hitting the armco but both ok.

Thanks for the update guys  :)

oh and Christophe ran 10.7 first run out and Ron 9.54 in the CSP ghia.  great stuff!

The CSP ghia has a fresh engine in for tomorrow after finding some issues earlier today. It fired right up and sounded lovely! Udo broke a rocker but luckily has spares so is also back out tomorrow. The track hasn't been in the best of conditions due to it bring a public track day and the crosswind didn't help! A good day though and everyone OK :)

I heard a little rumor about Mr Newbury :o

couple of pics[attachment=2]

They're not very good - in my defence, I am a terrible photographer.

...and the ghias[attachment=1]

We dont listen to rumours.

 7 1/2 hrs each way, 978 mile round trip & well worth it 8)
Ok sat was a wash out but it was still a good day, Adele's chilli dogs hit the spot - cheers ;D
Hope it all goes smoother today without so much down time.

Gutted for Bernie, hope its mostley cosmetic damage :(
Cheers,
Kev

bernie crashed, missed it as I had decided to go home (little one was getting bored), so it must have happened after 3pm.  Also heard one of the OFF spun almost hitting the car in the other lane!

Had a play about with a black and white film yesterday! (And yes I know I'm no David Bailey!!)

Amazing pics! Thanks for sharing.

After 11 hour trip back without any stop and go i came home save . Was good to meet you all again . Except the many oil downs it was a nice weekend. I could not set up so fast for the different track conditions so far , but my 10.7 was ok for testing.
Thanks for all

See you Udo

Thankyou to everyone for making another Race weekend fantastic. Great Food, great laughs. Thanks chaps.

I had a fantastic time (have I told you I ran two 11's  ;) )

Two people deserve a special mention

Frank Hoffman for taking my car to the track in his coach (which is for sale :D) and sorting out a minor carb/fuel propblem on the friday long before I even got to the track. He then helped get the car ready to race on the saturday. Thank you Frank

And Nicola, It was her first race weekend and on her 25th Birthday weekend too! Not only did she attend to support but also managed to learn a lot and become my startline crew. She even enjoyed the male dominated humour as well :o

Hope Bernie, Matt and Andy sort their cars as quickly as possible.

Lee

Thanks Lee and congrats on your new pb's! Also big congrats to Pete Shattock on his superb runs with the new Shattock/JPM combo. Sounds awesome and runs hard as nails!
Had issues with my car over the weekend - it didn't
feel right powerwise and I didn't read the signs of valve float until it was too late! As a consequence my number four exhaust lifter ha shattered. Hopefully, will pull the motor soon and have a proper assesment of the damage. Hope all goes well for Bernie and Andy too! Keeno

thx for those pict guys

Hey Christophe

I've seen before that your cars do stoppies  ;D

Amazing car!!!!

Just pulled the engine so it should be fixed by the end of the week and the dents in the front end are staying as a reminder... hopefully will have the video up on the outlaw site asap, the commentary from my girlfriend is quite entertaining!

Well done to everyone else for doing good numbers and putting on a show.

Finished it with a kipped clutch  ::) did manage to drop back into the 13's but had a few niggly prob's with the car and when i finally got it sorted the clutch gave out  >:(

I would like to say that it is a good place too meet for all racers and friends . Still looking forward to have some VW only events for all Dragracers too meet . May be shakey , new track in Denmark and Germany May be SCC too ??

Remember - if you don't break it your not trying hard enough ;D

Funny thing was I took one with me , but we dropped it into Boom boom's sunday night  ::) Don't worry will take enough spare's with me to bitburg to build a whole new car  ;D
Thing was mon afternoon was great last two run's car was sweet as and with everyone packing to go home the last run i just drove straight up to pre stage after my previous run and went again .

Nice bunny hop Christoph , about 50sec in if it wasn't for Jame's "lanky" Wotton  ;) I think you would have a good shoot of all four wheels in the air at once  8) 8)

Yeah I know! ::) ;)

hi Ben,

is there any chance you could post the pictures elsewhere?
I don't do facebook!!

Lee

They should be on the Outlaw site next week, the race report by Herr Marriot is on the site already, very amusing ;D

Thanks Ben,

And you are correct, Mr Marriots report is very funny!

Hi mc stairs check your float level and fuel pressure it is way to lean at the start, did you run benzine fuel or an ethanol kind of .
btw good luck i love that car .

gr Henri

Hi Henri,

The float level and fuel pressure is ok and I'm running Q16, it's a bit lean when there's no boost but the problem with that run is when I launched I saw on the dynojet that it was way too rich!!! So it dropped dead at that moment! Due to the vacuum spring on the secondary side of the holley carb. So the secondary side opened too soon I think! ;) Otherwise the car is too heavy or the gearbox too long! ??? I will try and test some things soon! ;)

Cheers,

Christoph

Here's an onboard movie of the second testrun, way too rich at the start and misshifting in second gear... at the end fired the engine up to check the data..

Enjoy! ;D

Hi Mc stairs from what i saw on the first clip is that at the line when you where reving there was no black smoke from the exhaust but when you shifted in to 2nd the smoke came and also the power that tels me that the vac secondery was to late .
i know that launcing cant be simulated on a dyno and that you need a lot of fuel to get of the line and mayby your lm reading is to slow ,
i had this problem once and solved it by retarding  the lanch ingition curve so i created more airspeed in the carb then the 2nd opend faster,
just try to help i hope you solve the problem.

gr henri.
