Back from the Philippine Motor Sports Festival held at the Subic International
Speedway. I did take the kind advice from the kind gentlemen in the list. I
started of practice with 32 psi and experienced massive handling problems
totally unpredictable from understeer to massive oversteer when pushed. So I
brought the fronts down to 30 psi and rear to 28 psi. It was a more manageable
car during qualifying.
I had a fun time not having raced at speed in 23 years. There was a
big grid of 22 cars, a Lola T70, Westfeild Lotus, Lotus 28, 359, 911s,
240Zs, Celicas, Afla, Opel GT, TR4 to name a few. A few Japanese drivers
joined us for some kamikaze fun. To put a long afternoon short, 2 sprint races
and the only MGBon the grid won first in class.
There was a friendly open Hill Climb the next day to wind the
weekend down. Thanks so much for the help again.

Yea, yea yea. Off to the track huh? Well I am going to get a bloody
big plastic shovel out to clear a path to get out my snow blower to
clear my drive. This allows the municipality's behemoth snow plough
to roar past on the road and deposit a wall of hard dirty and
certainly not my snow, thus preventing me going to the Beer
Store. Take my MGB GT V8? - you are joking!!
