Just found out my mrs has bought me a trackday at Keevil on Saturday!

My first time, really excited!

Anyone else going to be there?

Well, its my first time, so I guess you will be able to give me more advice...

You should recognise the cougar as it looks like its on stilts at the moment (needs to have the suspension lowerd). Hope the weather is good!

Home safely for an early shower. The throttle linkage on my accelerator pedal sheared off at the end of the first session! Nothing major - can get it welded up, but pretty soul destroying.

Many thanks to anyone I was frantically talking to to arrange a repair, or recovery home.

Nick - Nice to meet you, hope to see you on another event soon. (I'm getting a tow bar and trailer sorted for next time though!). Looked like you and your pa were enjoying yourselves - brilliant!

Had a great time thanks (although thats perhaps not what you wanted to hear hehe ). Glad you got home OK, I dont think I'd have wanted to have made thet journey. Am thinking of the december Keevil day now, but the weather may not be so good. Hope to see you some time soon; with or without the westfeild.

Had to finish early aswell as one of the wheel lugs snapped off whilst on track yikes , and didnt fancy cornering on three wheels...

That's a shame. But as I learnt there's always next time!

Did it go with a bang? Threads ok??

Nothing too exciting. Just got massive vibration through the car so pulled back into the pits to have a look, and one of the wheel nuts was missing and the stud had sheered off. The other nuts were loose as well; hadn't long checked them either...

As you say, always next time. Still had a great day though.
