Hi, plenty of vids on the TDT forum but guess you have looked there. The Msvr boys usually take loads of pics which will also appear on the main page in due course.
How was it for you ? Probably a bit tough starting at the end of the season when everyone else has 6/7 races under their belt and are getting a bit cocky
Saw you there and on track, meant to pop over and say hello but we destroyed a cv joint in the first qualifying session and spent a hectic 2 hrs making a new drive shaft up from bits and pieces.
Made it out for both races but we missed the TeamTrophy qualifying and had to start from the back of the grid...
Still a cracking day, Dave.

Hi Nero

I was there in the blue mx5, was chatting to you at scrutineering.....

Hope you had a good race?

[Nero601]

Hi chaps

had a great race thanks , know where to improve next time out , Brilliant circuit ! few areas to work on with the car too

seen the pics on MSV , hoping to find some 'action' pics along the way , are you both doing the TDT next year ? we have yet to make our minds up.

R Toy , bit of a pain just doing the last race but hey , would have been my third but failed scrut at Donny , and could not get time off work for Anglesey ! What car were you in ?

Roddo , yes nice to chat with you , where did you finish ?

[roddo]

Hi mate
Finished 6th on the track, 2nd in class behind Paul Sheard also in a mx5.

I will only be doing the odd round next year as I will be racing with max5 racing (Mx5 races)

We're in the yellow elise, lost over a lap in the TDT race in the gravel and finished well down the order (21st i think). Managed 4th in the TeamTrophy tho' which made the day esp as we started from the back of the grid.
We cant compete in the TDT next season as we both have 6 signed off races and lose our novice status.
Considering the Elise trophy or the Msvr Team Trophy (prob most likely.)
The TDT has been really good for us as total rookies, learnt a lot, had some bkings,kept the car in one piece(ish), frustrating breakdowns, big highs and big lows.. And made some new mates along the way.
Guess thats racing,

Was that the gravel at Druids ? if so you had just overtaken me on the way into Watertower !
Good result in the TT Agree about highs and lows too , we are not sure if we will do TDT next year , may do TinTops or similar , may do Team Trophy though , we will see
