Re: Jon Betts Autograss Mini

With a windscreen like that, I think I would want to be in front.

got a visor to go on yet, that should narrow the gap down a bit, and I've only got a wee head

Jon, extend your right arm out in front of you.... raise arm up high.. move arm at the shoulder so it falls to the left behind your head... bend fully at the elbow.. and move hand repeatable into the back area...

that will be the pat on the back...

Cheers Sharon, gonna let my two girls have a go in it, they are 13 and 15 (Yeah, I know I don't look old enough ) but need to teach em to drive first, at least they only need to know how to change from 1st to 2nd and turn right oh and stop before they hit anything

Re: Jon Betts Autograss Mini

Well my first season has come to an end, my racing improved 100%, its a lot bloody harder than it looks! 'Just drive around in a circle and thats all there is to it' Yeah thats what I thought too! Still struggling with my starts but its getting better. Only did two local meetings in the summer due to weather and some local tossers complaining, but entered the Nottingham Club Winter series. Missed the first one so wasn't ever going to feature in the top spots but did well enough. First meeting made the B Final, second one made the A Final (top 10), not bad out of 30+ cars. Sadly that race came to a premature end when i went into the back of a stationary car, hopefully it will knock out. The other chap suffered whiplash and bruising but he was OK thankfully after a night in hospital! Looking forward to next year now when the wife and kids will also have a go. Have started to collect parts for a Class5 pick-up which means RWD and upto 1400cc, this will be for 2008.
