The SLR isn't ready yet so I will take the CR.

Just back from an excellent evening thank you Graham for organising it and managing to squeeze me on track hopefully i didn't hold up too many people. The T1-r were no where near as grippy as the R888 i had on a few weeks ago and felt i was sliding all over the place.

Seconded. Excellent night - great weather and good driving!

Thanks to Andy G for letting me do some laps in the 340 - been away from the track too long - the 340 felt brilliant, albeit I must have been 5s a lap slower than Andy :-)

Popped up the road to the Tormaukin for a swift pint with Iain and Paul and then enjoyed the road back past Powmill and Knockhill and home.

It's a great road, slightly spoiled by a slow-fast-slow motorcycle, but still good fun.

Cheers,
Robin

In your defence you didn't f@@k the driveshaft boot trying to chase down the race r500 on slicks :damnfunny :thumbsup

Top night just a shame it ended up in sls (but thanks Ali for taking it in!) :thumbsup

hey guys,

g, thanks for organising a great night, glad i couldnt sign up as my first night would have had to be a bloody quick one, I timed at least 3 gts lapping in 57's and a whole lot more in the early 60's.

thanks to Ian and Mass for the pax laps.
Ian those ceramics are unreal, your car is awesomly quick, I actually felt sick for about 30 mins after the session squirming around under heavy breaking. It was amazing - thankyou
And thanks to Mass for what can only be described as emotional (hysterical) laps. think it went like (waiting for green light) some good banter then BAM - green light, right left right, big slide, right, slide, right, slide, by this time im howling with laughter, then I realise we are sans tc, then the hairpin and do it all again. It was surreal hunting the turbo and 3rs. Mass - you are indeed the man, thanks for a great session.

Thanks to the new friendly people I met tonight, good to meet a few more se'rs inc the northerners.

Finally, two doh! moments for the night. 1-having a laugh with a group of lads and saying "somebodys come off down past duffus as theres litter all over the track" only foreverybody to laugh and a nameless person to reply, "yip that would be me" (with a wry smile). and 2-young pete jnr spinning his dads exige on his first night. Sort im out Pete.

Top Night,

cheers

:damnfunny :damnfunny That was my husband, Alan! Our tyres arent the best! :oops: (neither's he, mind you :wink: :lol: )

Was a great night, although a wee bit too far for us Northerners to go for 2 hours!

Thanks to Mass for taking me out in the CR, was great seeing our car from behind and all the flames coming out the back!! :lol:

Also thanks to Robin for taking me out in Andy G's 340r. It was a slow start after you getting a talking to before we even left the pitlane (all Andy's fault! :wink: ) and one lap in they closed the track for a bit, but was great once we got back on again! :thumbsup

Was great to meet a few new folk too, and also to put more faces to names! :wavey

There were some loverly cars there. Ian, I think I need to get Alan to earn more money so he can buy me one like yours! :D

Finally, a big massive Thank You to Graham for organising the event. You did a fab job! :cheers

Jen

Edit: just noticed Alan has changed my signature.....grrr!! :roll: :lol:

It was green, if that helps?

I don't think it was anyone we know TBH and he wasn't going _that_ slow in the corners, just too fast for me to overtake in a straight line. Bikes are rubbish :-)

Cheers,
Robin
