Building, racing, crashing and setting fire to various kit cars…
That’s the unmistakable sound of me banging my head into a brick wall. At least that’s what I feel as if I should be doing after last weekend at Snetterton. To say the weekend was frustrating doesn’t come anywhere near it.
We got there last on the Thursday night and parked up in the area of the paddock nominally reserved for RGB. Mind you, we appeared to be a in Stock Hatch city. I was testing on the Friday and, apart from worries about the weather, looking forward to it all.
I’ve been doing a few small things which are essentially about getting the car ready for the upcoming race weekend.
First thing was to fit the rear undertray. This is made rather more difficult that it ought to be because the CBR1000′s fuel pump sticks down rather more than the old tank sump did. I resolves this with this power bulge in the undertray. Not very pretty but it should work OK.
…I’ve had a few.
“You’ve not updated your website”, they say. Apparently the fact that I’ve done nothing is insufficient excuse. So, I thought I’d cobble something together anyway.
First up, here’s a smidgeon of video from that day. I’ve also updated to the new version of Trackvision which makes producing videos a bit easier because it understands the MPEG-4 files that the camera produces. The eagle-eyed will notice Colin and Adrian too in the clip.
Well, the short news is that I did make the trackday at Snetterton.
The long news is a bit more traumatic. In fact, at one point I’d decided that I was torturing myself unnecessarily and it’d be more productive to go for a sleep.
