Battery Cable......

Hi all, Can anyone tell me the correct size/grade of positive battery cable to use? I've found an intermittent connection in the wire from the master cut-out switch and the battery in the front nose and need to replace mine, I seem to think that the newer cables can be different ratings despite the ...

Can anyone give me a Dummies guide to gear ratios?

As the title says, I need a dummies guide to these please. Im unsure what my car has in at the moment, although I remember my FVJ (annoyingly) hitting the limiter half way down the bentley straight at Snetterton 300 last year costing me time!!! So.....a lesson would be much appreciated, my next outi...

Re: new here

Hi, I can honestly say that as a novice to the club this year, the Mono championship is definately the way to go. I had issues with my race clothing (being a novice converting from karting) and at both events the generosity of the members was tremendous, a certain Mr. Timms even lending me his race ...

Re: Overalls.........

I thought that was the case! I still cant understand why the scrutineer at Snetterton took issue with my suit when the same suit was checked and passed at Anglesey with no issue!? I was bordering on fuming at the fact that the scrutineer didnt even look at the car, extinguisher, helmet etc.. But too...

Overalls.........

...looking through the blue book it's not clear (infact it doesn't state at all) whether race overalls are dated i.e do they need replacing after so many years etc? As far as I can see, so long as the overalls comply with the details on page 164 sect K9.1.1, they do not have a life span.....or am I ...

A massive thank you.............!

A massive thank you to all the guys who helped me out on my first mono race on saturday. Despite abysmal wet/windy weather, oil problems, last minute tyre changes, a bump start, and my trailer jockey wheel breaking I had a fantastic time out there! Dave Parkinson, Jock Sergison, Simon Davey, Prajesh...

How does anyone else tie down their car, are there any do's or dont's, has anyone any handy tips? So far my trial consisted o...

Re: Transponder hire?

Dermot, I cant thank you enough for that generous offer! This is one of the many reasons I ditched karting in favour of a more community spirited sport! Thank you, I'll be heading down on the friday before so will arrange to sort something out with you prior to that date. Once again, thanks all! Mat...

Re: Transponder hire?

Thanks guys, Im keeping my fingers crossed I'll be able to hire one, as I really cant afford even the second hand prices for a transponder just yet, its been so hard and costly prepping the car and trailer etc i've almost bled the cash reserve dry, and the mrs is taking a VERY dim view of me using t...

Re: Mono is The Friendly Club

Hi,

It was nice meeting you yesterday, sadly not in the best of circumstances for you i'll admit! I'm sure you'll get the car all sorted for the next round. Hope to see more of the mono gang there myself!

Silverstone GP availablility...

Does anyone know if there are any slots still available for this and is the entry price the same as all others for a single header? I was hoping to have my first race this year and Silverstone is the closest circuit to me!!

Cheers

Re: Before & after pics!

Ooops! Had no idea someone else had the same scheme! :?

However, I think Russ has got the right colour red wheras mine is just what I could mix from stuff on thr shelf haha!

Maybe after the decals are put on, it should make a difference.
