Ah ok, makes sense, it still ran quite well, the cars are all packed up now for the courier but hopefully the next hope can nip the screw up a bit if it is not as it should be .

Thank you! You guys are all doing a phenomenal job hosting and moving cars along to the next host.  Again congratulations to you and that little Notchback with the stroker motor.

It was a pleasure, your Camaro was a fantastic steer and I think will prove to be the better car overall but it was satisfying to get a heat win, even if it was at the expense of making a car too idiosyncratic to do well at every track.

Graham runs a tight ship, so credit for the smooth running must go to him.

Credit was implied to Graham as Race Director, so much so cars are crossing the pond to race.

cars with issues :-

mountain view camaro , front axle up / down travel excessive and uneven 
ALS camaro initial connection problem ( car stuttered ) this seemed to sort itself , but i dont think is solved
bangers racing porsche , front body post has detached from the body and is loose , see pic 
rokers roar monte carlo , same issue as above ? see pic , this is why neither of these cars posted a time 
[attachment=23223][attachment=23224]

i am happy to attempt repairs to all the above cars , as i have time , providing the owners agree and Graham ( event director ) allows ?

RNLI ferrari undergoing repairs at home , unsure if will be available for the event ( fingers crossed )

the above shake down will NOT be used as part of the event scoring 
it is intended to use fastest lap a primary and total elapsed time as secondary

A shame you posted the vids on youtube as 'kid safe' as it stops comments.

If you need to add some supports to take some load away from the repair, do something like at the rear. Matchsticks will do if nothing else is handy.

If all else fails, or it is easier, sticky tape the body to the chassis, at the front!!
