Last week I went on my first track day
of the year at Mallory Park. Safety briefings have moved online so there is an
enormous amount of hanging around to be done between signing on and driving the
sighting laps. As is traditional I saw an obscure single seater that went on
track once, spent half a day in the paddock being peered at, and had been
trailered away by lunch. My favourite car was a race prepared frogeye Sprite
with a tiny "toad of toad hall" aeroscreen. The weather forecast said there was
going to be heavy showers so I went with wet tyres that I wanted to try out. It
stayed dry all day, I think I was the only person in the paddock hoping for
rain.
On the way home I ran out of petrol.
The faultfinding of that particular problem was very annoying because even when
the recovery service arrived the gauge was still reading "top of the red".
Worse, the gauge is reading the same now that there’s half a tank of fuel in
there.
