Teamwoodspeed onboard

[tony]

Onboard with John.. dunno what happened at the start? Bogged down maybe john?

[teamwoodspeed52]

Shared the clutch woodruff key on the warm up lap, some how it bit again and managed to start from dead last
Its at Charlies now being sorted for Lydden hill.
pity the cam didnt record the engine noise, still love the Edwin starr tunes ;D

[tony]

yeah.. we have to see what to do with this.. I blame the 32 hp... so therefore its Charley's fault!

[teamwoodspeed52]

Its just one of those things, at least i got a finish and some points, i thought i had burnt the clutch out it wasnt until i stripped it to fit new plates that i saw things were not lined up.
Still the best engine ive ever had pleasure to thrash around a track. ;D

[tony]

oh without doubt... that little taper was only designed for 6 hp.

[scooteristforever]

gutted i missed cadwell..
i was in a tent in Yarmouth feeling dreadfull...

scoot flies john, it looked a nice day for it...!!!

last tune on the vid is very apt. ;D ;D

good luck to you and Tony for the rest of the season...

[ste15]

bit of bad luck there john hope you have better luck at lydden

[Wayne Miller]

Shame about the key shearing but I bet your glad that it managed to jam itself it the end. Like you say you got a finish and some points. Well done mate, hope its goes more to plan at Lydden hill and best of luck ;-)

ps that little beastie flies, I loved seeing it fuck all over those lammies :-)

[teamwoodspeed52]

I blame it on the curse of the on board camera.
Will be down geared for lydden so should be able to fly up hairy hill.
Cheers for posting my moment of fame Tony.

[tony]

That will be wheelie-ing everywhere mate! ;D

[teamwoodspeed52]

get the camera out ;D

[Perkin]

John is no mug!

I f*ckin' love Cadwell. Just watching that makes me wish I had something with an engine, two wheels and handlebars that makes a noise.

The club circuit is the best of the lot, on a scooter or something without massive top-end power. The full circuit just gives you an extra straight (although the mountain almost makes up for it)...

[tony]

the full circuit gives you the woodlands... so big that they run this section as a track on its own.. I hate the mountain... on a 90ss it wants to spit you off. The twisties are fine but watch the entry to the hairpin.. its normally damp from the trees... then you can launch it.. 1,2,3,4 and flat out through the left turn coppice at around 90 to 95mph... drop to 3rd for the first part of the right and back to top as you apex.. up to over 100mph along the straight before the 3rd gear 70mph park corner.

[teamwoodspeed52]

Then up to 4th until you get to the flick for the Goose neck which is back to 3rd, then a dab of brake and drive for the finish line or set yourself up for the stupid bus stop chicane back to 2nd (which i never get right.
Anyway enought about cadwell give me some tips on lydden hill Tony. ;D

[tony]

me... haha.. you see how I rode it last year!! I cant give advice!! ;D

But... mmm.. my best tip is 'don't go!'
But errr... well... at the end of the straight I flick the bike left before chucking it into the right - chessons? A lot of people dont but I dont brake really there.. just a dab and down to third I think.. maybe its second? Depends on the box.. I was so overgeared last year i didnt use 4th
Also.. downt the hill to paddock corner.. use the run off area on the left before you turn in.. go over the white line and then turn it.

[teamwoodspeed52]

I touch 4th on the start straight then back to 3rd for chessons but if i lost to much speed i ended back in 2nd then drive it hard on the exit up to 3rd till the bottom off hairy hill.
Anyway differant gearing this year so it should be fun, got to start beating some of the specials and claw back some points.
