If anyone's interested, there is a track evening at Knockhill held by Scottish Alfa Club. Cost is £60 on day or £50 pre-book. Road legal cars only -must have current MOT- (or one's previously scrutineered at Knockhill). Bring driving licences.

If interested- PM me, failing that you could just turn up, but prior warning would be helpfull.

A big thank you to all to came along on Friday.
This was AROC Scottish Section's most successful track evening!
Good things were noticed, firstly the high standard of driving. Generally good yielding of slower cars, and patience of drivers in faster cars. Very few stoppages, nothing serious, and track time was maximised.

A thoroughly enjoyable evening and good to see some really nice cars.
Various Evos- some must have been really powerful- massive acceleration.
Caterhams- suberbly effective round Knockhill. At least 2 with the Hyabusa engine?
Elises- quick and agile great wee cars.
2* 350Z- just looked awesome!
Integrale!- anyone see the smoke from the brakes?
Renault Alpine- lovely. 30 years older than many but still keeping the Elises honest.
3* Alfa 75. I love these cars & one was mine!
MKII Escort- great to see.
Alfa GT 3.2- much better than I expected and serious grip from the Michelins. A V6 Alfa which handles- what's the world coming to?
Nissan 200SX- effective with the semi slicks.
Boxter- a bit reserved for a handling car.
Alfa Sud- stripped out race car and pretty quick.
Alfa Sud Sprint- quicker than my 75 in a straight line due to its 1.7 16v engine- dammit.
Other Alfas were GTVs, a 164, 155 and 156SW.
Finally an aquaintance brought along a rather used looking Porsche 924. Totally boggo but good fun I bet!

Any I forgot?
