[ben240z]

Hannah managed a 39.35 second run at gurston over the weekend. 86mph in hollow and 85mph through the finish line.

Still got a 6000 rpm limit on.

SOooooooo proud

Roll on June meetings. Don, t be shy, come and see the Zed running at Gurston Down and show hannah and steph the support of the club.

You never know you might even have a good day out

Excellent progress, you'll have to let them off the leash soon

Once they cant get any faster through the speed traps then they can have more revs. They both need to lean on the slicks more. There is so much grip they are not using yet.

Thanks for the comment though mike. It will mean a lot to them

Ah the magic 40 sec barrier. Well done, its not as easy as people think

I can remember finishing my final run of the season in the red car on a 40.01

You are so proud Ben - lovely.

Anything happening at Gurston on Friday, I'm in the area.

her first run on sunday was 40.01 and I was afraid she would not get the sub 40 that day

I shall most likely be there working but nothing motorsport going on. Be good to see you if you have time to drop in

good to see the young girls keeping the Old Girl performing. Keep the news coming. It's time they joined The Club

Well I gave in and raised the rev limit to 6500 so that Hannah was not on the limiter in fourth over the finish line. She is now hitting 89mph over the finish. 3 hundreths from her best time and then the drizzle started for the afternoon runs which slowed things down a bit but they still went out for both runs in the drizzle on slicks. Had to have the wiper on so not a dry track. Very impressed with the girls again this weekend

Team Stapley ready for another weekend hill climb

Great picture Ben.

I'm full of admiration for your 'team' but feel I can't reply to each post with the same response.

At the end of the day the biggest rewards are not the motorsport.

So true rob. Not looking for a response to each post, just trying to make sure this particular Z does not get forgotten.
One day it will be recognised for what it is

Good news Ben all your/there hard work is paying off as Rob says you must be so proud of your girls
