TVRCC track day.

I will be staying local Thursday night. Where are people staying? (Who is going from here?). This place looks nice www.keddingtonhouse.co.uk/

As I'm coming from darn Sarth, is it worth me coming around the M18/M180 route timewise? Last time I drove up at the crack of dawn on a Sunday across country Not sure it'll be so clear at 6pmish on a weekday.

Also, what's with the tape required over the headlamps thing in the TVRCC instructions? First time I've ever needed to do this. If I hit something there will be more to worry about than bits of plastic cowling on the racing line.

Well that was fun We were lucky the weather stayed fine all day.

The T350 certainly loves the track, it's even good enough to mask the fact that I'm pretty crap on the track

Nice shots! Much better than mine. Can you send me a copy of the piccy of my car? (funny how the photo makes my numberplate look wonky - must be the g-forces ).

If anyone wants to see them drop me a line.


If you happened to get any nice photos of my flame thrower I'd definately like to see them! Anyone else manage to get photos?

Great day again at my favourite circuit and only one smash!


I got a couple - send me an email so I can send attachments to you.

So what was the scoop with the Saxo/rear engined thingy? I didn't take a close look in the paddock - it looked like someone had spent a lot of time building it. What engine did it have in it?

Nice photos! One of me before my disaster. I hope to see you all at Oulton.


What happened to your car? (it looked ace!).

Sorry, I feel for you - tell us it was cheap to fix please.

(Interestingly appropriate phrase in your profile?!?)

Thanks for the kind comment.

I am afraid news is bleak. Current prognosis is gearbox failure.

I went large.....I went home!


Crapola - sorry to hear that. Still, at least the gearbox in our cars is pretty ordinary. Try www.gearboxman.com if you get stuck.
