Wrong approach.
You should learn the track and build up gradually.
If CC bites, it bites hard.
You are not allowed to time yourself anyway.
What tyres are you going to be using?
It was only in jest Anthony, I'm going to be terrified! I'll be taking the same approach I would with a new kart circuit, easy as I can get away with until I feel my way round and then push on progressively from there You should learn the track and build up gradually.

She's on Yokohama Advan Sports!
Would be awesome to see you there fellas! Being a track day virgin I'd really appreciate having some more experienced heads around me plus more TVRs is definitely a good thing!
And Liam, I've just got everything crossed that I'm not being retrieved from the Armco at quarry by the time you turn up!

Already planned to put some brightly coloured tape around the handbrake as a reminder- I know not to apply it but whether I do it out of habit without thinking is a different matter..
I'm hoping I'm quite well set up- the comment about times was of course a joke, I'm not going to be timing and if I did I imagine the competitive streak in me would be quite distressed with the results. I've booked tuition with BHP, apparently there are instructors floating around on the day who you can collar as and when which I may also do- and due to the magic of PH I know there's going to be more experienced people around.
Beastie is in good health too and will get a thorough going over closer the date, we'll have to see how long my mechanical sympathy lasts on the day...
I saw that you'd entered the Challenge car in a series one of my mates is setting a car up for Perry, I'll have to come down to Combe with him when it's on and give you a wave!

Little drama? 
Did it involve a change of undercrackers?
Nope, just a change of fan belt! My car decided to improve the scenery at Combe by puffing clouds for half a lap or so..Did it involve a change of undercrackers?
Trev was an absolute gent and ran me into town to get a new belt, then helped me get beastie back into action. Was lucky to avoid any serious damage, as it was all she needed was the belt and a water top up and she was good as gold for the rest of the day!
