As much as I would like to have a go at it I dont think I could be bothered with the hanging about between runs.

Maybe in a few years though, happy with trackdays and autotesting for now.

Kenny,

The wait between runs is acutally very good - you don't notice it at all as your either comming down from the previous one or getting physced up for the next!

My eyes have always betrayed me. They do change shade depening on what mood I'm in, bizarre as it may sound.

There is an event at Doune next month - I'm trying to free that weekend up from work as I type :wink:

I think that Kenny's issue is more of a 'well actually it is timed, then they will realise how slow i really am' type scenario! <BG>

Slow is relative though.

Compared with Iain McKenzie who won the class and Fd then I'm slow.

There's nothing wrong with picking your battles within your own class keeping one eye on the folk above you.

If I ever do take up the challenge I'll be happy to be safe and slow. No point in binning it on the first day out.
