Denis just left here after picking up his "Spare" Windsor that I had stored.

I also picked up my new Stroker for the Race Car this morning, and we were talking about my new sump having plenty of baffles and wings etc.

Denis agreed that he thought his problem at Winton was that his sump wasn't baffled enough and the track was very tight causing exactly the problem you were suggesting.

It's also pretty hard on brakes...I found out the hard way!

Denis will be up and running in a couple of weeks ,ready for the next A Series sprints in April.
Can't keep a good man down!

Cheers.
