after what seems like the longest break i’m back here at the diary again…

it’s the night before racing again. tomorrow we head off to the big bang at santapod…. exactly a year ago i was getting ready for my first ever race….

and here I am..

after the disaster with the engine at the easter thinderball there’s been a flurry of activity with me making late night long hauls criss crossing the country to lug parts and dead long blocks off to be inspected and then rebuilt.

well, the engin eis back in, and so far all seems well… as ever i have had very little time to put miles on it and tune it and settle it all back in but i did finally install the new oil pressure gauge and while i was at it relocated the oil tempo gauge with it to a position on the top of the rollcage. just about where trhe sunvisor used to sit…

got it all wired up and felt very smug at having taken the time to slow myself down and do it properly (ish) heatshrink wrap on all the joints, even dug out my 12v soldering iron, routed all the cables neatly and then to cap it all!!!!!
i spiral wrapped all the cables! how mad is that ?

(i even fixed the earth on the dashboard clock so that lights up at night too! (it doesn’t keep time but it does look nice at night now)

had another late night last night cutting out cloth and pinning stuff in a bannermaking stylee.. also did a full stocktake in advance of setting up stall at big bang (oh yes, i forgot to tell anyone ! we’ve got a stall at big bang too 🙂 )
off to get -stuff- this morning….

more later…
