I wonder where the other Moggie and the A40 went as they were just in front at the start but great fun to watch.

Excellent - many thanks J - and others. Riley brakes seemd to be coping well - but it was wet.

The Morris racing in the Dunlop Oldies But Goldies Pre,60 series was racing at Castle Combe on Saturday, I was really impressed with the way it went, the cornering around Camp corner looked really well balanced and definitely well driven.
It was running 5th initially but I think made some contact somewhere around the circuit as it fell right down the order and had the rear bumper dragging on the ground, a real shame.

Definitely worth going to see these guys race somewhere if you can.

How did you fare in the Radical.

Is there a website showing events, dates etc for the Dunlop Oldies.

Post by **MartinB** » Mon Aug 04, 2008 2:30 pm

Had a good weekend really, have made some progress getting the car handling as I want it to, came 12th on Saturday and 10th on Sunday. Smallest engine in the race (28 starters on Saturday) and had a good battle with a 2 litre Jade sports racer. Really enjoyed drifting the car round the corners and managed to do a personnal best laptime on Sunday. Over 130 MPH 40mm off the ground is fun!!
Just need more power now (in progress) and some downforce (also in progress).

I think details of the Historic saloons is here http://www.themastersseries.com/race-se ... sults.html and I think Silverstone on the 21st is the next one.

James, I'm not sure the aero mods will be suitable for your Morris, the mods I will be doing are going on the Radical.
.

I couldn't bring myself to circuit race my Morris, not really suitable as would probably need a lot more mods to ensure it lasts a race distance (gearbox & diff oil coolers, brakes etc), am keeping that for road and hillclimb/sprint use. Plus the Morris is a real pain to work on.
