V24 controversery. again!

[verytricky]

1) on sunday you refused anyone to look at your engine

This is totally impossible! So you are an idiot or a liar or both! On Sunday my boat was in PORTSMOUTH! No one asked to see my engine. I left LA on Saturday! I drove back to LA in the SMART car on Sunday to deliver a fuel pump for Brian, as the part was in Portsmouth. I did this so he could race! My boat was GONE Saturday evening!

...Also, I had several people looking at my engine on Saturday in LA, including competitors and scruteneers.

I had several people looking at my engine prior to the race as well, as it was pissing water everywhere! This was before the race, and before the supposed protest that was never paid for! My engine was damaged before I even arrived at LA. It was posted on these forums on Friday night! So it was not just a convienient 'excuse' to get out of the pits early.

If the protest had been paid, They would have stripped my engine. Simple.

The protest fee was not paid.

Get over it.




* I will be bringing £100 to each race for the rest of the season, and I will protest you motley crew for anything I think is out of place. I know V2 ran with a different ratio gearbox. I know they ran with a bent engine, and swapped it out at Gavin Browns before the LA race. I am happy beating the others. It is good for the soul! I think I need to protest V2 at every race now to redress the imbalance from the first part of the season...

Your 'facts' are crap.:*******:

He's obviously one of the above

2) whats the point of the rya scruteneer looking at your heads going back on they might not be the ones you took off.

True, but then I should be slow as shyte at Cowes then? So the truth will out at Cowes!

Besides, if V2 paid the £100 I would have been *forced* to let them into my engine - right? Not my fault he did not pay the money is it? I am not going to strip my engine every race just for fun!

 

[verytricky]

3) V2 does not own the weighting equipment the rya do. You should be weighted at every race but sometimes they don't work. the only weighting equipment V2 bring is the bathroom scales

I believe this is incorrect, and the load cell used for us was provided by V2.

 

[verytricky]

4) You have gone wrong on more than one occasion the first one being Ramesgate 2004 and the last being Guernsey 2006, but i do not think Anna is to blame as you claim to drive and navigate. so maybe your right your navigatior has never gone wrong.

Ana claims I navigate and drive - I dont. And Ana did not get the gate wrong in Guernsey, I overrulled her advice, as I clearly saw a gate with a yellow bouy and a chequered bouy. **** happens.

 

[verytricky]

See you in Cowes, with my fully certified as standard engine. And lets see how the race is run? I am good this year because there is no competition!

Prior to making TWO major navigational errors and then breaking down, V3 kicked my ass at LA. If he was racing this year I would definately be finishing mostly second. If V16 was racing this year I would be finishing mostly third.

I am doing the same sort of speeds I was last year, I am now just so much more consistent, and my boat does not breakdown every race!

BUT - the challenge is clear. My boat will have a certificate after the RYA technical inspector has pulled it apart an measured it against VOLVO's specifications for the engine. It will be certified as standard with standard parts used and nothing bent in the engine. Then we have Cowes. A horible place to race - a place I hate to race, yet I have to do well there or else it is proof I was cheating!

So no pressure then!

Re: Re: V24 controversery. again!

.
So - Given that I *will* definately be stripped - either at Torquay or at Cowes - and I have had my engine examined by the RYA due to the repair - What do you think the outcome of the race will be? It will be completely apparent that I am running a standard engine ( possibly the only V24 to be running the homologated engine! ) Due to the RYA inspection and the promiced strip planned for Cowes or Torquay - there are no issues about that. When V2 insisted on swapping out my ECU and their ECU, I *still* won the race, and V2 moved from second place to third place! ( so my ecu is crap, and should be replaced! ) When they checked my petrol it is always within the parameters, when they decide to weigh the boats, I am always over the limit required. ( which is also crap

There is ski racing at Torquay that weekend too so it means i get to see all the fun and games

[kiwiracer]

hey mr verytricky, if it is any consolation to you, racing is exactly the same on the other side of the world, but after all we are just a colony!
but our rugby team is winning!

 

[verytricky]

but our rugby team is winning!

A game played by gentlemen with odd shaped balls....

This is all so depressing.

AS Ben said, it's all a bit depressing, all these negative waves of you had 10 turbochargers and whipped them of going back to the marina Bollock's........so I thought I would try to come up with something positive

so here goes allow outboard's into V24 IE...the boat remains the same but with a bracket to take any outboard up to 250HP min weight 1050KG ish and the same for any outboard up to 300HP and 1250KG ish.... more choice of power units may encourage people to take V24 up

Secondly an Ocke Mannerfelt challenge cup open to any Ocke hulled craft IE... f200...any rib...V24....B28....you all stick say £100 ish in an account, hopefully this may make £1000-1200 maybe Ocke may cough up a few hundred to make it 2K, the winning team gives the money over to a charity of there choice at the London boat show....Advertising for the sport plus a good cause

I know you guy's will probably shoot me down for suggestion's when I am only a spectator Nobber and not a racer, but at least it's not negative

 

[Matt]

No one'll ever shoot you down for making suggestions - unless it's a really really stooooopid one.

Shoot him!


I would love to see the V24 with twin 280's

 

[Matt]

Bit OTT IMVHO. The B28 with twin 280's is monster enough.

 

[verytricky]

You recon the B28 is the dogs?

It has a different design than the V24. It is also heavier.

I think the V24 with canopy, twin 280's in the 6 litre class! That will be a mother of a ship!
