PH Caterham Challenge, what a day!
Discussion
Yeah, great day - my face and arms had gone properly red by the time I got home though! Anyone else notice how barge-like their own cars felt afterwards? 
Have put up my pics at http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~kiteless/caterham/ - only had time to delete the odd rubbish shot, sorry about the quality but there's nearly 300 there and I had to squeeze them into a sensible amount of space. Email me with the pic number(s) you want and I'll send the full-res version. Will have a proper sort through them tomorrow.

LOL at the 'Smokey Ted' shots.
What a top day out, I'm a bit red today but still have a
on my face. Everybody had great fun, I lost count of the number of people that asked when the next one was going to be. It was great to meet so many like minded people.
I started out a bit slow (not good at these 6am starts
) think I was about 17th after the first go. Ended up in 7th at the end of the day 
, could have got better if it wasn't for that gearbox on car 1, 2nd to reverse is not the best way to get a quick time!
I don't think the full beans launch I did in the 200 at the end really improved the lifespan of my clutch, it's a bit juddery now
Top lad award goes to the driver of the T350 - Mmmmm donuts
BTW did I ask when the next one was?

Nah, well done mate, excellent driving!
I dropped from 4th to 12th after a 10 sec penalty.....
S**t or bust I think they call that. When the pressure is on...
J
Me too, started out after the 1st run in 24th, managed to scrape it back up to 7th only to incur a ten sec penalaty on the shit or bust run, i'll be a t the next one to give you a run for the money shot joust !
Great to meet so many PH'ers as well !!
Agree with all the above... What a great day out!
Really pleased to get the hang of the doughnut on the last run (even if the shock of it made me crash through all the cones and drop from 7th to 17th on the last course...)
Definately coming on the next one, and if anyone fancies meeting up one saturday night in a tesco's carpark...

Anyone manage to break any cars this time?
Nope, all was well, maybe because you were not available !!
Are you booked in on the next one Adam ??
How did the griff behave on the track day ??
Not me that broke 'em mate!
Not taken the Griff on the track yet. Couple of things lined up though, no doubt you'll hear what when I have done them
Wont be at the next slalom day. Although its brilliant I have done 2 already and feel I should spend the money trying other things too.
