I am nursing another set of tyres until the SIDC day, they would be illegal if I when on.

Noodle bar afterwards anyone?

Dude - Halfords, Pentland components and even MMC must have them in stock - not sure why you need to mail order one!

Cheers,
Robin

P.S. DDtB has a cap he could loan you at present

Cheers for the pax laps Ed, superb drifting skills. Very impressed.

Pity about all the red flags you caused but nevermind

Sorry what? .............. I cant hear youuuuuuuuuu!!!

No probs matey, glad you enjoyed it! Had a great night. Good to see everyone. Apologies for the red flag at the end. Caught abit of curb and it shot me off into the gravel. Then i couldnt get it started again and when i did i stalled it!

Think i must have taken a load of gravel on to the track!

Was very slippy, but still great fun. Driving standards were pretty good overall. A few dodgy cars dropping oil everywhere and stinking.... Managed to blow the flexy and its now fecking loud. Cheers to andy for lending me the esures or whatever they are called. Saved my ears!

Looking forward to the next one! cheers Ed

Quality night. Never actually rained whilst we were on track but it was sodden from earlier rain.
I did my usual and sat out the first 10 minutes. By that time the evos and scoobies have normally pulled back into the pits. Unfortunately some shed had deposited a nice slick of oil all the way round the track on the racing line

. This didn't half sharpen the focus and lead to some comedy braking and turning-in moments.

The session was red flagged shortly thereafter and the KH crew did a great job and cleaned the track in about 10 mins. Unfortunately it was still extremely slick off line and I found myself unable to stop or turn in at the hairpin. Fortunately I found the gravel trap to have much better grip and managed to do my braking and turning there

After that the track started to dry and by the end of the session it felt like there was more grip than ever before.

I did manage to pass Ed a couple of time, admittedly he was facing the wrong direction on each occasion

I found driving standards to be good and the track seemed dead from about 7:15 onwards (except for S1 elises)

BTW Novice Racer there was a chap called Philip looking for you. He is apparently looking to buy an S2. I introduced him to Kenny and rather rudely left them talking as I was keen to get back on track with 25 mins to go. No doubt Kenny has persuaded him that the way ahead is an S2 Exige

Could to catch up again and also put another 2 or 3 faces to names.

Glad I didnt make the journey.

Good to put some more names to faces as well.

Well done chaps! SE was leading the charge again, despite attrocious conditions in the first session, which was like a skating rink, with oil on top of the water from the pre start downpour!

Understeer in , both under and over through the corner to oversteer on the exit, thanks to a cossy, it was challenging. So much so it was red flagged.

The sessions after that were pretty sweet though, and the RLC held up well even when i did a 720 at the chicane

Well done all - hilarious to see Ed christening the SS. A bit of a rougher approach that Ali i suspect, and on the edge

NIce to meet Iain and new Elise chap (john ??)

Till the next £35 bargain

Good to meet all the Faces behind the Avatars.

Quality Night - Much Cheapness!!!

Mostly Rally (Forest and Tarmac) specced cars and a few Fifer mobiles leaking oil in the early stages.

Sheds are definitely the future.......and worth about three seconds a lap due to the "don't give a fcuk" factor they instill.

Andy

Good pace on 48's in atrocious conditions

Ed
You will definitely be a force to be reckoned with......... if you can keep your car pointing in the right direction.
The Chavs spectating at Clark's got their moneys worth when you appeared over the crest backwards

Stewart

You were getting the hang of it and pedalling hard when the dry line appeared

Good driving standards with people paying attention to their rear view mirrors

Got Fcuking soaked on the way home though!!
