Brooklands BEC Trackday

From April's Brooklands BEC-trackday;

This was a trackday organised by the BEC list collective, track surface was very lumpy and possibly more suited to 4x4's but a good time was had by all.

This day certainly helped to take MooSpeed in the direction of bike-engined cars for project number 4. I had a trip in the orange Westfield of Ed Cane and was my first bec experience.

I was prepared for the acceleration which was, as expected, truly phenomenal. What I wasn't prepared for was the braking and cornering forces I spent most of the time trying to hold myself in the car against the harnesses. The second bec experience was in the red Sylva Fury of Pete Osborne, again - no comparison can be made to ordinary road cars - unbelievable acceleration, braking, cornering. Fun fun fun - gotta have one

From November's Brooklands BEC-trackday;

Distinct difference between this and the last Brooklands day, and not the fact that at this one I froze my bits off.
I've gone from spectator to owner , admittedly only the owner of a project underway.

The main difference is that before I was wondering how the hell you could fit a superbike engine in a car and now the ponderings were all along the lines of "how long is that bracket ?", "where does that hose go ?" and "ah - so that's where that bit is supposed to go"
