Booked in now that I have managed to change my pads eventually - Anyone else going? I was going to go to the one on the friday before (31st Oct) but very cleverly missed out due to forgetting to book until it was full!!

Shame it was wet yesterday. The track was like an ice rink. We struggled all day with worn out rear tyres which made any attempt of speed a comedy. Mine was the black Supra.

Your car still looked clean by the end of the day, so I'm assuming you avoided any offs. There were alot of mudded cars going round!

Speediechrissie, I'll be in my Black Z4 3.0, see you there.

cool. i will either be using my mx5 or sharing one of my father's racing cars (either a classic mini or an elan).

the others in my group include:
an E30 3 series
another mx5
an old shed of a supra
possibly an MK with a volvo T5 engine in it.

see you there.

Yeah avoided all offs, I could not believe how many people were going off to be honest (especially as it dried slightly towards the end of the day), it was slippery but not that bad. Mind you, I always seem to fare well in the wet whilst racing so I kind of enjoy it that way!

Yesterday's ( Sunday's) weather was really good. Damp for the 3 am sessions and dry and sunny for the 3 pm ones.You needed to be careful in the morning as parts were a bit slippy,but as long as you weren't a hooligan it was fine.There were a few offs, made worse that the muppets didn't fit towing eyes and held up the sessions, other than that a great day. I've killed my brake discs ( they were getting v close to be changed anyway and my F1 asmymetricals held up well despite my best efforts.Overall a brilliant day and a full turnout, not bad for November.

It was a very good day. quite a lot of waiting in the pit lane as you said, but it is difficult to avoid all waiting in sessioned days.

the day did end badly for the supra in our group as it had to be towed after a blown heater hose which couldnt be bodged meant it was without coolant, but the owner was still happy with the day overall.

sorry i didnt try and find people from here, but as we had people in all three sessions in the group i was quite busy all through the day either driving or passengering.
