Re: Terry Windle

A terrible loss.
When we saw Terry last year he was very keen to give my dad a copy of his last mdoel F1 chassis plans so my Dad could build a replica of the chassis. With my Mum dying at the start of the year we never got round to going down, Terry was very insistent that we make the trip next time ...

East Fortune September 12th/13th. Jim Silver Memorial.

We're at (past actually), the deadline for the East Fortune meeting where The Jim Silver Memorial sidecar trophy will be awarded and we're one bike short to run the class.

Anyone from South of the border (or anywhere else) fancy coming up to help the class run at one if the friendliest circuits in ...

URGENT: Passenger Needed for 15th/16th August - East Fortune

Passenger needed for my F2 this weekend at East Fortune
I just found out 20 minutes ago that a scheduling clash is leaving me without a co-pilot.
Money's already been paid so it's a free ride, we have a spare bed so can provide accommodation too.
PM me here, Facebook me, email me at teamandrewsf2 ...

Re: Yoshi EMPro advice?

Using the EMpro couldnt be simpler.
Just plug it in with whatever wiring harness you had (plus the supplied mini loom to bypass ignition security etc..)
Use one button to start (and a clutch lever for clutch interlock if applicable) and you're sorted.
You dont actually need to use the software or ...

Re: Not long now?

Not an old timer here. 36 and this is my 8th season.
If the speed reduction wont be significant as you suggest then that further undermined Eckarts argument.

As you'll see if you read my posts, my concern is that 600cc engines newer than 2005 are getting hard to come by and very expensive.

Re: Not long now?

Ive never heard of an experienced, world class passenger having any problems keeping up with the power of a 1000cc engine.
Since when did two accidents over two years mean that something had to be done?

I think that a problem has been invented by the governing body that simply does not exist, and ...

Re: Not long now?

What are the thoughts of our wise and knowlidgeable? ACU masters on this, or are they just puppets on a string. :roll:

Dont the ACU think the "New and powerful Triumph 675" is too powerful for an F2 still? :roll:
I think they'll go with whatever is the most inconvenient and expensive for British ...

Re: Not long now?

Can't say I've ever seen a competent driver crash because his engine was too fast.

I've seen compenent failure, driver error, bad luck, bad weather, bad decisions, but having too much horsepower available, assuming the chassis and tyres are properly built and designed to take it never killed anyone ...
