Wedge out to play

Heres a picture of my wedge in full flight yesterday at Rockingham. Picture was kindly taken by Andy Hills of V8S fame.

Also was MOT time again today, and once more she passed without a problem. Time to get her on the rolling road to set things up properly before BBWF.

I'm waiting for mine to be sent to me,

So what speed did you get her up to Ian, and did you manage to pass anyone ?

Would you recommend the place, and was it worth the money ?

I presume tyre wear is less on a roundy roundy track than a bendy one ?

[mikeb]

And were you one of the ones banned for giving it some on a race track no less??

You're kidding !

What's the point of it then ?

[Ian V]

Graham,

Didn't get much above 80 as it was suppose to be a parade lap behind the safety car. We did try though !

Mike,

Yep, afraid I was one of the naughty ones who went round again. It had to be done, if you know what I mean.

[grahamw48]

Oh, sorry Ian, I thought it was a trackday type event where you could hurtle round flat out.

[mikeb]

I did the same thing at Castle Coombe a few years back.

Went all the way there for a track day only to be told no way as the car was pushing out 119db at the time!

Ended up being last in line for the parade lap accidently on purpose.......me and this American Corvette thingy

Also accidently let the rest of the 'field' get about three quarters around the track before we set off.

Boy did we have a rollocking when we got back

Had to be done.

Nice picture, looks like its moving.

Quite a few years ago we had a club parade lap at Donnington. 90 odd cars were counted on and after the first lap (no overtaking please etc) it became a traffic jam. Sooooo all cars proceded to a slow crawl to open up a decent gap infront then er, slight increase velocity to catch up the slow down again etc. Think we got around 5 laps out of it. Peter Wheeler was in one of the boxes on the start/finish and seemed to be enjoying it. Think I saw him mouth the words "yep, proper sounding one that" as I went by
