Dads Day Out charity TWO DAY event - Dunsfold - 23rd/ 24th
Discussion
So all back safe and sound, didn't even get a chance to see Dave, sorry about that. Counting is hard but I think I did about 18 rides and used a whole tank of fuel. Hopefully tomorrow will as good and safe 
I think Adrian and Mark are in good shape as well although certainly Adrian and myself encountered some 'misdirectional errors' (i.e. we spun) but I think all is OK
(missed you there this year Fishy)

New Tack Layout for this year, Shorter circuit to help reduce speed (yea right)!
We started from the infield this time just about 1/2 way along the main Runway. We then headed towards Bacharach Bend along the back straight turned in Left then down to Gambon Corner, through Crooner curve then turned left again heading towards Follow through which people were taking at full chatt! then back into HEAVY Braking for Bacharach Bend again. So in other words 1/2 the circuit.
On a Personal note: I would like to thank all those Members who turned up for the weekend, and sorry to those who could not make it
Also a very big thank you to Don1 for putting Ade, myself and Dave up at his place, 
Big thanks to Dave coming all the way down from 'Op North' in his lovely Black RT/10, Top effort mate
And great to meet Andrew 
Have to say there were some Very Very quick cars on track this year. I decided to put my car on static display for the Sunday, thrashed it too much the day before! Somehow it even stayed mostly dry!

Short video of Ginja and Ex, El President Must feel strange seeing someone else driving your old car!

Great two days out! And after Neil and I got collared for some Blue Ribbon rides I then got caught in the 'we have no drivers' trap and ended up driving non stop from around 2pm till the end.
I'd also like to point out that in that video from Mark I had a small child in the car, hence the short shift, however, I had some fantastic fun chasing the F40, having the Daytona pass me coming into the first corner and generally enjoying myself. Very much looking forward to next year!
Thanks Mark for sorting it out and hope all is well for Le Mans

What a fantastic weekend - well done for organising this one for us Fatboy - had a great time.
Well done too for everyone that came to support the event - I look forward to hear how much we helped raise.
As for photos - unfortunatley I didn't take a singe shot - did some video though, for later.

What a great weekend we had thanks for organising it Mark, and a special thanks to Don and his lovely wife for the accommodation and what great hosts, next year I'll go on the track everyone seemed to be having fun. Ade did you use your sat nav to get home? Hope it didn't take you down any single track roads again, Mark was the footage of our Journey any good?

Hi Dave, I'm not good with computer gadgets, I think the Go Pro Hero2 camera was on the wrong setting (there's about 15 different settings) so it only filmed a short burst and switched its self off halfway around the airfield perimeter road I had never used the camera before so its going to take some getting used to!
