I was thinking about it just to see what it's all about as I have never been before. However the weather here is really putting me off. Stang no like rain, although it makes driving interesting. laugh

My rain radar tells me the downpour over KH this morning might have now stopped. Nice day in Aberdeen, so I think I will venture south this evening. Any update on KH weather from you southern folks??

Took the chance and went down and it was bone dry - excellent! A wee bit damp on Friarton Bridge on way back up the road but otherwise a rain free and very enjoyable evening.

bit too busy for the Murci and felt it was holding back the wee cars in the twisty bits which isn't fun for them.

Still hyper after that!! Apologies to all who had to endure my yank tank on the track. He really ain't designed for that kind of work......................however the porsche is bounce

That was just out of this world. Can't wait to do that again with the porker!!


CUE99T I was going to try and get to say hello but we both missed each other when we were on the track.

What an excellent night indeed!

What a great mix of cars on track too. I never grow tired of watching those rage buggies go round corners.

However, I did have a little moan at the knockhill staff. I felt that some cars there were a little out of place for a Hot Marques event. Not me being snobby or anything like that, just came to mind when i was following an old 1 grand sierra round the track and it was blowing reek out at me and scraping it's exhaust along the ground.

Once again....... any pics would be appreciated!

Cheers peeps

Hi Folks,

Was up at KH last night in the Cobalt Blue 997 Turbo.

Just watched your vid Avril, what a rip off that beast about 4 mins 40 in when there is a break in the music and you are gunning it up the straight, made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!

Details of where you got your camera from would be appreciated

Alot busier last night than i have seen it for a while must have been near the 30 cars max.

A bit dissapointed again for about the 3rd time in a row the session is stopped with a good 10 minutes to go (No reason for the stoppage that i could see, nothing was dragged back into the pits either???) There could have been enough time for the big queue to get another 5 laps in, they were chasing us out of the pits and closing the gates at 5 past 8.

Take the point about the value of some of the cars, i happen to know both of those Ser Cossies very well and they have both had 10/20k spent on the engines alone and are pushing out 375 BHP+, last few nights though there have been a few mental little cars, a standard civic and a few nova's creeping in.

Seems like it is down to KH's decision on the night as to what gets on.

Anyone going up to Crail on Sunday????

If so will be up there in the Porker, nip over and say hello.

Regards

Scotty

Hi Scotty,

what a sweet car!

Fair point about the cossies having a lot of money spent on them,... I suppose it is a bit of a grey area. I know that i was matching one of them for pace in a straight line, so if he is running well over 300bhp he should maybe have it checked for validity, lol.
