Lauren and I were out on the MGCC Autumn Trial last weekend. We double drove, so the Skoda did 48 competitive runs in the day and everything held up. I finished on 83 points, the winner scored 22. That put me about half way down the field. It was very dry and there was plenty of grip, but the Weber carb was suffering from fuel frothing and we kept losing power on the steeper hills. Evidently a Weber won't run at angles steeper than 22 degrees without frothing its fuel and dying. Recommended solution is a Nikki carb, trying to find one to fit.
Next weekend is the Edinburgh, we start at 5:50 am on Saturday, penultimate car in Class O so we will need to keep moving. Did the spanner check today as I won't get much chance in the week. Found a hose that had split by the jubilee clip so that has had to be 'circumcised'. Will try to get a replacement but don't hold out much hope as it has 3 bends in two planes!
