havent heard not being able to use aftermarket mc in formula 400... bit dodgy as most of the standard ones are shagged by now!
Having said that, the acu say we cant have ramair or change the exhaust to race formula 400!

Its pretty crap how different clubs have different rules, ive seen a few 400's with brembos so assumed this was allowed.

Yep it is pretty crap! Your best bet would be to speak to Dougie Brotherston to clarify what's allowed.

You will be fine with the brembo m/cylinder I spoke to Dougie about the brake set up on mine and he says its fine to use upgraded stuff

Thanks Dave.

Finished 2nd in the 2nd race too, but just could not get close to Mike Skinner :smt009. Felt good on the 675 as well. Finished 4th and 5th and got close to my 53 second lap target!!! Got down to a low 57 on the 400 so a good weekend.

Hope you get your bike sorted mate. Was a hell of a few days for you :smt009

Not sure if i will get it sorted in time for E Fortune but will give it a shot - have entered for that one and would like to get some racing after a long winter of messing about in the garage (missing EF would mean no racing until mid May). The race yesterday looked real competetive - there were "scraps" going on all over the field so even the middle order guys were having a load of fun - and perfect weather for it - see you at E Fortune hopefully :smt002

Well done Colin! It was a really good weekend. Some really fast guys and close, competetive racing!!

It was my first time on the bike this year and it felt really good! Decent tyres make a big difference and give much more confidence. Only managed a 14th and 12th but i'm happy with that as I had fun :smt003 Grinning all the way round. Had some good sport out there. Still got to find two or three secs a lap to match the top guys pace but the times are coming down. Need to get more time on the bike to practice.

Can't wait to get out again! Not gonna be able to make East Fortune which is a bit of a bummer so I'll have to wait till Knockhill in May.

You certainly knocked a fair bit off your laptimes between qualifying and race 2!! Sticky tyres make life so much better :smt003 Was good to see a large grid and I know of a few guys who could not make the first meeting so hopefully the grids will go up the way.
