She didnt like the short straights, twisty bits and uphill start as her carbs are set up for circuit racing. Still, attracted lots of interest from the local radio station, friends of two former owners and someone who knew Dick Jacobs.

Hi Mark, Your YB seems to be reving great. Keep the pedal to the metal or I suppose to the wood in this case !!!

Best Wishes Ed Winters

Very nice, is there any footage taken by spectators too?
Willem vd Veer

Thanks. I think there are some spectator photos which I will try and post. Next competitive outing will be the Brighton Speed Trials in September.

Go for it Mark, well done! The Y type was sold as a sports saloon so its good to see it performing as intended. Bryan

I wanted to attach a couple of photos of UHK 111 on the Berkshire 100 regularity Rally earlier this month. She did well but the racing set up on the suspension was a bit hard on the rougher road sections! I think we came 10th out of 20 in our first proper event. Not bad seeing we were relying on the cars own trip rather than a halda etc. Next outing 11th September - Brighton Speed Trials. When I tried to attach the photos the system says they are too big. Any idea how to resize them. Tried before to no avail. Whats the optimim size?
Marc Hanson

Hi Marc

Email them to me and I will do it and end them back to you.
