            Thanks to everyone for there support
            after speaking with Andy who helps with the car we think the 20 odd bhp we are missing is going to stop us climbing the grid so i think we are going to build either a 1600 8v or get a proper head for my bottom end as although its a big valve 13oo head a standard 1400sri head has 1mm bigger valves so i might have to miss the next few rounds and i am trying to move house at the moment so will have to see how funds are

                Well done Jezza, pity you didn't get out for the second one but at least you've got the race under you're belt and survived to fight another day.
                Be good to see this car evolve and improve, I reckon it's got loads of potential

                  I was so pee,d off with being told i was too slow at the begining of the race i got the times printed off when i took the transponder back and as i thought i was quicker at the begining ,the clerk of the course said he was watching me at the end and thought i was allright pace wise that was when i was at my slowest with the slipping clutch

                      Jezz. Nice to see you out in class E. Considering your car was fresh out and it was your first race your qualifying times were very good. There must be a lot more potential with the engine and set up. Keep at it. Well done.

                          Jezz. Just looked at some of last years qualifying times and you would have been some where in the middle of class E. It is unfortunate that at the moment class E is under subcribed but they will all be back soon.

                              its time in the seat under race conditions you need most, more power doesnt tend to make huge differences in lap times unless your gaining a huge chunk of power
