Title: Another newbie
Post by: probablyleon on 10, March, 2011, 02:20:22 PM
Hi, I'm based in Bath and have a Fisher Fury. Until last summer (and my very first trackday) it was powered by a Honda Blackbird. Four laps in, it gave way, causing fairly major fire damage. I'm hoping to be back up-and-running in the next month or so. (with a Yamaha R1 engine).

Very pleased to see such a healthy local kit car following in the area and look forward to making some new friends at some of the events posted on this site.

Hi Leon

Sorry to hear about the engine letting go on the track day hopefully R1 power will be more reliable.  Please feel free to comment on your experience on the Track Day Disasters thread.
