[Fot] Spifire vs. big boys

[Jari Tabell]

Yes, the mechanical tacho is not in operation. I have an electrical one 
on the steering column. The old one would go round anyway, as I use to 
change at 8000rpm and have the absolute mental limit at 8500.

Yes, on the last lap I made a a bit longer trip... I braked a bit too 
late and didn't want to risk anything, so I used the safety road. Most 
embarrassing would have been be stucking on the gravel trap between the 
track and safety road.

Regards
Jari
