Sell it so you can get some new bats' and a nice PAL drive system

bats actualy thats a good idea, then I can hit anyone who takes me out as I'm lapping them the knock me off the track I knock them off the rostrum

The problem with selling the Lab is I really want a second car, I'm sure to have a few wet races this summer and I'll be in trouble if I run at an event on a Sunday and then need to rebuild the car for Monday club night, they were going to change to thursdays for outdoors at the club but some complained plus it's easier for breakages, espcially at the club where you race then marshal then have 5 minutes whilst the next race is run to change your cells and make any changes to the car, fixing is next to impossible. Now I'm down to two sets of 3000's for racing and an old set of 2400's mainly used for practise I'm going to be in trouble with cells though if I'm doing an order from Speedtech it may be worth adding some nice 3300GP's to the package and getting more value out of the postage costs

Steveo, I had a chance to run the CUDA yesterday at the Corona Track. The track is asphalt and is not blown, swept or sprayed so traction was an issue for most people. My car was stuck though. I ran TQ times and won sportsman stock easily. I haven't drilled out my pistons yet because my car is really good right now and I don't have any replacements in case I don't like the change. I used 40/30 oil f/r and yok pink/green spring combo. The thicker oil slowed the cars initial reaction in the corners which made it feel really stable in the dusty conditions. I tried the stock springs, but the car didn't fell as responsive and was a little loose. The takeoff CS-32 tires seem to be really good on unprepared surfaces too. Can't wait for next week at Camarillo.

motor limit depends where you run, where I am most places have a 12 turn limit, which is a sensible level to me, means you're plenty fast enough yet don't need to skim the comm every second run.

Dave you know what he wants, pics of those secret things you keep hinting at, come on, you said a few days and it's been more than a few

Yeah...I've checked with three suppliers and no one has cells right now. The war is making it difficult to get shipments in but they're all saying they should have some more by the end of next week.
