Atom managed a 52 on that course, and that was after a HUGE session, although i did have the fly weight Uncle Ron as my pax :damnfunny

Sounds like an epic outing!

Loved the bit about Walshy getting gravel in his face, sign of a good session with him.......someone always get injured :cheers

Scotty's rough lap times from Brands were pretty encouraging, so obviously our :sheeplove friend, and your track instruction were reaping dividends.

First Cross Bow scalp - clearly had Tut been there he'd have........ :damnfunny

When i saw it I thought it must have had some super turbo nutter engine in it. But no, it was a moving chicane

Pity.

In their heyday, some of those DID have turbo nutter engines in them, didn't they, I used to love reading Fast Ford etc for the latest crazy scheme! I had a tidy Mk1 XR2, from 1990 to 92, great wee car. Read with great interest about a guy who took one and dropped a 1600 Escort RS Turbo engine in his, complete with boxed arches, the works. Mmmmmm!!

LOL - no, you guys weren't trying - I think walshy did at least 3s quicker in my car (just to give you the handle on how slow I really am ;-)) - and maybe it was a 66 now I come to think about it ....

Was definitely under a minute the time we were there Robin, I recall 56-58's being the general zone most of our times were in. I think Walshy still blitzed that with something a 54.
