Hi Andy

We are at Oulton Park on Saturday 17th i will try to take some pictures as we have just had the car fully resprayed in Kawasaki green,Chris Maries is giving Danny some tuition on the day as he has to have an ARDS instructor with him whilst on the track on a track day,on a test day he can go on his own.

I am trying to get Danny as many track miles in the car as possible and Oulton park is local for us.I don't know if we will be competitive this year, it will be interesting to see how the LS powered cars go compared to the AJP cars ?

Please pass on my regards to Steve he's a great guy.

Thanks Andy.

It's a nicely prepared car with some interesting mods, I think Danny may well surprise himself and others this year. smile

Hi

Test day went realy well,seriously wet track all day so wet that the marshalls insited on lights and rain light if you had one fitted?

There was a lot of Ginetta's there,one guy was eager to get out as the track opened at 9.10am,he didn't make one lap and totaled the front at druids,poor guy, but why not just take it a little easy on you first few laps to get a feel for the track in these conditions ?

Danny loves the car (even in the wet),He say's it's a lot more planted since the 4 wheel laser geo Johnathen did,he was running similar times to the 997 cup car that was testing in the garage next to us (and no offs

smile
