Had a great weekend, totally loved it.

Special thanks to mobile van man for the tools and expertise

To all who came, thanks it was great making new friends & also I did find out why my van was the slowest vehicle at the meet (apart from the guy on the pedal & pop :lol:

) When it went into limp mode I took the EGR valve off and managed not to re-connect the boost hose to it so effectively I had no turbo :cry:

I noticed as soon as I drove it on the road with the window down and no lid on :roll:

fixed at bishops stortford services and made it home in 2hr 10 mins (sat nav said 2hr 30mins) totally gutted I felt like turning round and coming back

we're home :mrgreen:

superb weekend - loved all of it (well almost all of it :lol:

)

big thanks to alann for doing 90% of the organising and letting me take credit for it :lol:

thanks to tony and the maitland racing guys for organising all the racing - the eliminaters were brilliant this year - i think almost anyone from the 8 could have won it - in the end colin's LDV beat stus cossy mk6 even tho stu ran a quicker time colin got him off the line and he couldn't reel him in - i was routing for the transit :oops:

but credit where credit's due well done colin

my van (and stu's) ................ :oops:

i'll go into more detail in the progress threads but i genuinely think the track was slower than previous years, we had a headwind and no one actually posted their best time, but the mk6 cossy just didn't get the gains we hoped for - we were improving every run but didnt beat the time it ran in 2009 it needs more work done :!:

my van ........... 2 seconds slower than when i had the 24v cossy in :shock:

not ideal with it being the 1st time its ever got into 2nd gear but my gearbox mount came off in the 1st race :oops:

thanks to mobilevanman for sorting me some nuts

plenty of things to do at it tho but it would have been nice to at least beat the old cossy time :lol:
