Team Hector: PDRC May 1-2 2005
This was our first test and tune of the season. We entered as a RWYB car but were rescued from the horrors that that can hold as regard track access by Andrew (PDRC) who put us in the "proper" pits. Cheers mate!

My times on the Saturday were nothing special (12.892 @104.990 mph being the best I managed). But a 0.593 reaction for that pass did get me the 3rd best reaction time of all entries in all car classes at York that day:

Monday, May 2nd was Linda's first outing as driver, and with her first run she managed 13.007@107.16 mph. Scarily, her best reaction (although not on that run) was a neat 0.533, giving her the 3rd fastest car reaction of day two, and therefore of the entire event!

Hmm, box problems again but at least this time the fault was finally pinpointed. Various field-expedient repairs attempted (many thanks to the WBers who offered tech assistance, tool hire, and tow car facilities!). Nothing worked 100% but we now have a fix - as well as the offer of a free box from Sid - which is nice! We did prove that the longer exhaust pipes make a huge difference and that, although looking sexier, maybe, the short zoomies just aren't useable with this size of small CI, high revving engine.
