Test day @ Zandvoort

11 04 2008

After a 2-3 hour power nap i arrived at Tachyon again at 6 o’clock in the morning. Together with Ronald i Started to Load the truck to go to Zandvoort.

We went there with the following cars

Ford Mustang

Volvo Amazone

Morgan +4

Maarten stayed in the workshop the whole night while i went home for my power nap. At 7 o’clock the Morgan was ready and we departed to Zandvoort.

After some road blocks and diesel problems with the truck we managed to get to the circuit. All the cars went straight through the safety check and where ready to go on the track.

After some small cooling problems with the Volvo the car got 2 times a black flag for to much noise. But we expected that because we didn’t had a second muffler. The night before i only welded a small pipe on the exhaust to deflect the hot gasses from the fuel tank. Ronald Glenn our Volvo expert solved the cooling problems and the Volvo was ready to go.

The Mustang had no problems at all and the drivers had a nice time at the circuit.

For the Morgan it was the first time doing a real test. It was also the first time that the owner Nico Zonneveld drove his Morgan. After one out lap we checked the wheels and the engine bay and send Nico out on the track again. Nico was smiling the hole day and together with Maarten he discussed the car. The car is ready but there are still a lot of things to improve. Nico already updated his website with new pictures and new messages about his racing experiences. www.nizoracing.nl

After bringing the truck back to Soest i went straight home to have dinner and enjoy some sleep to be prepared for the next event this Saturday
