Glad you all had a great time. But a bit short on reports. Come on fill us all ine, who had head gasket failure, who overcooked it and who was stopped by the cops!
Report: Couple of Honda driveshafts, and, er, nop, that was it I think. There’s probably a story about ‘In’ the waitress in there too somewhere.
Ian
Always keen on “in the waitress” stories,come on spill the beans.

I know Tony Stansfield broke a driveshaft cv (causing the only red flag of the day), but who else had a problem?

The red S1 Honda conversion that has led a confusing life (still sits on 17" all round) and now has a Radical for a brother.
The gobby Welsh waitress was wearing a bag ‘In Training’ but clearly wasn’t, she could handle a crowd; I got ‘punished’ on several occasions.
We really are scrapping the barrel for outrageous stories on this trip!
Sean drove to the track at 40mph, literally. Although he did spend the afternoon trying to work out how to improve rear-end traction on his Scooby but gave up somewhat when I told him his inside rear was 6 inches in the air - LOL!
Ah, that’s better, although not as juicy as I’d hoped. Thanks, I feel as is I’m absorbing the atmosphere now.

I’ve got the in car evidence of that as well
Please post that, be good to see a 3 legged scooby
(Not often I ask a serious question) but how do you keep that forth wheel down?
Or can it, does it cause an issue?
Sean tried stiffening the rear roll-bar but that created understeer.
Ho hum
Softening even, did work, but two wheels touching the floor grip much better than one at the back, so understeer city
Oh how that reminds me of the Scuffham days where debate raged (literally) on whether stiffening or softening was best at the front of an Elise/Exige.

So which was it then - stiffer or softer ???

No definitive answer! Very much depends on your car set up & driving style. Appropriate use of left foot braking also comes into play.
From what you say Chris - I reckon you should firstly set the antiroll bar to medium, & then play around with the damper settings (again, I suspect you should soften them).
PS Does the missus approve of your new mota?
We softened the rear bar to allow the inside rear wheel to droop some more in the hope of keeping it in contact with the ground.
It doesn’t have that much trouble with front end bite and it doesn’t under steer that bad. To be honest its more fun on road tyres than on 888’s
I love my little scoob and it took its fair share of scalps at the weekend.
Needs a map tweak now as the new fuel pump is delivering what it should at the top end, so is over fueling a bit.
