The First Race Approaches 1st April 2006 |
|---|
When I left you last time the Super Mighty Mini was jacked up and the greasing ritual was in progress. Driver was risking frostbite to get the basic servicing done. Now the seat is in and the harness installed. I hope I have got the position right. This year I have added the side head restraint for added protection in case of unfortunate incidents.  Membership of the Mighty Minis has come through and we have the racing number 57. Sticky numbers have been purchased along with white self adhesive film for the required backing (the latter courtesey of Homebase) . These need to be stuck on to the car, but this requires some dry weather. It has been a hectic couple of weeks. I decided that a test of the new car would be a good idea. So far I had only driven it sitting on an old tyre when loading it and removing it from the trailer, and moving it around the drive at home. Probably not the best preparation for my first race. A test would be appropriate. A morning at Mallory Park was the solution so off up the M40 on a cool damp morning. Everyone seemed to have the same idea so the morning session for cars was pretty busy. Normally the sessions are divided between the saloons and the single seaters with three half hour sessions for each. A tentative first few laps were made to get the feel of the car and the Yokohama A048R tyres. These are a semi race tyre and different to the A539s used in the Class A Mighty Minis. It was quite exciting as there were a number of quick cars there and you needed to watch the mirrors carefully as various individuals passed you on either side and sometimes both at the same time. The weather did improve and the track dried out later on. Great fun, and I started to get the feel of the car. It is looking good, but I still need to add the numbers and some of the championship decals. There are a few more jobs to be done, an oil change, fix the wipers so that they work on demand rather than when the mood takes them, get the indicators to work on both sides rather than just the left and fix the ignition switch more securely ( I will explain this somewhat embarrasing incident at a later date).   Now the moment of truth is arriving. Entry for the first race has been accepted. This is Snetterton on the 8th and 9th of April. Norfolk at this time of the year can be exciting. I have seen good weather and I have seen horizontal sleet. In this part of the country there is not much between us and the Urals ( the mountains in Russia, as you well know). The circuit is interesting and there are some fast straights and tricky corners. Last year I had on of my most enjoyable races so I am looking forward to this meeting. I have heard that there may be TV cameras at the meeting (Motors TV?) so we will have to put on a good show. So far there are only five entries for the Super Mighty Minis, but there is always a late rush of entries and this should easily double. The Standard Mighty Minis already have 18 entries and of these seven are new members. Looking good for 2006!
