Thanks for posting, it's a good read.

I'm going through a similar situation myself at the moment, having just passed my ARDS a few weeks ago. Got my first race coming up, next weekend, at Knockhill in the SMRC XR2. Can't wait, I'm a nervous wreck, but a nervous wreck with the hugest cheesiest grin ever

I really wish I'd taken the plunge 10 years ago.

I was thinking of doing some kind of blog but I am useless at descriptive writing unfortunately. mind you a lot of what you've written, from the trackday onwards, is very similar to how I'd want to put it anyway

Everyone Take note! I did it 12 months ago and haven't looked back!

I agree, my first race was this weekend in the Welsh Sports and Saloons. 22 cars on the grid from motorbike powered minis to ex touring cars and me in the middle, rolling start, bumper to bumper, havent stopped smiling yet.

Had my first races on Saturday at Oulton Park. Might have finished last in class for both of them, but the car completed the weekend in the same condition it started - which can't be a bad thing!
