2016 race dates and car changes

Did the old setup fit behind the cup rims ?? I seen the wilwoods before but was unsure if they would go.
 
Brands Hatch report.

Had a new set of Ultraleggra's on with Kuhmo 205 tyres. On the way out for quallly they were rubbing on the rear body work, not a lot we can do apart from take it easy and get in our mandatory three laps to allow us to race.
Did a 58.9 putting us in 19/40
We cut away the rear quarter, stiffened the rear a couple of clicks and ready to race.
Race 1
Had a brilliant few laps going from 19th to 7th and flying, car felt amazing and could see my next target. Coming out of Clearways the dreaded three cylinders....
We had bent pushrods . Race over.
55.8 best lap

In the pits we decided to change rocker assembly to another we had machined down. We run this at Thruxton and was fine.

Race 2
Starting at the back 31st and was making up places rapidly, car didn't feel as fast as down 30bhp, probably overdriving , tyres didn't seem to have the grip.
We got to 9th and finished the race :)
55.4 best lap

Next outing Goodwood trackday, 20th August
 
Machining down the rocker assembly totally changes the rocker angles, so we don't get nowhere near as much lift from the cam.
 
The car is staying as it is. Its working and just want to enjoy it now.
Stickers will be on for Goodwood trackday.

We will be doing two more race meetings this year.
Snetterton 10/11 September
Mallory Park 25th September

What day you racing Dave?
 
Banana pushrods! Gutted matey, are these the uprated ones too?
Didn't someone once fit Ford Puma ones or Ford Ka items which were an upgrade???

I think it was Dave Reed in his monster C1J???
Sorry - my brain is a total mess, but I'm sure it was a crappy ford item that did the job well.

Yes Dave fitted ford pushrods which are thicker diameter.
We have issues on no 4, I want to find out what is wrong there first.
