Aintree sprint

[Hamish]

Shaun Roche and I enjoyed a great day at aintree 30.6.18
Exceptionally hot day but both our cars performed very well. 
Shaun’s dolomite class 3a race spec car was looking stunning and walked away with a well deserved 1st in class award. 
Me and my old 3a were just under a second behind to get 2nd in class. 
Less than a second is a massive plus for me as there are decades, big power difference and race classes between us. 
Aintree is a sweeping fast course.

These are all my aintree runs in order. 
The last run was my personal best here 
Thought I would share them as its great fun it is the TR Register championship ! So hope you don’t mind the posting here. 

But remember ANY triumph car can join in. So give it a go !!

there are other videos on my Chanel.

Nice videos! Nice last run!  Never done Aintree, but after watching that might put it on the venue list for next year. Might require thought on the gearing though, if you were on the limit in OD 4th, whilst I can safely pull a few more rpm, with a 4.1 diff and no OD I might be spending a lot of time bouncing off the rev limiter!

It was my smaller tyres. The 55 profile changed the gearing a lot. 

Equiv to 4.1:1 ? 

(I miss the minty lamb gearing calculator)

i crossed the line at 97mph

it was 93 last year so I’m carrying  more speed out of the last corner 

my 64ft time was better too

I noticed the good 64ft time!

Also see from the results that your hiding your light under a bushel, and that on handicap you won the event! Well done.
