The stone chip was from the Blue Focus RS that spun off at Duffus Dip & went sideways into the gravel spewing it all over the LHS of the track (in the apex of the corner!)

Great day out, I was just spectating...........
Wee Elise is still in his Winter Jim Jams.....

For you today, It must have been like your woman wearing a very expensive Gucci dress to a Wedding ....
turning up & finding someone else is wearing the same dress........!!

(To those who weren't there, there were 2 club racers at KH - same colours !)

We joked that if both Club racers were on the track at the same time, a half lap apart, will seem like doing 30 seconds a lap to the people in the pit lane.

Only popped up for an hour or so, but was nice to see a variety of Lotii and their owners :) Once again I was less than impressed with some of the driving standards at a Hot Marques event, there seemed to be an awful lot of groups driving very close together, as Andy mentioned the Evos seeminly the worst for this.

Brian, really sorry to hear about your incident at the chicane, hope it's nothing too serious.

I spotted the "rage" megablade thing clipping that awesome P plate 911 Turbo up the straight.
IMHO it was the Rage;'s fault not checking his mirrors - Porker overtakinghim.

No problem Mass, these things happen :thumbsup . You actually got our space for Friday's track day as our Elise is still off the road, so if you can take her out on Friday she'd be grateful :D

Well as it happens, photographing the day, i still didn't work out that there were two on track, i blame it on the baltic conditions, could barely press the shutter button to take a pic! (getting my excuses in early for my cr*p photos!)

I did meet Neil and his other half, at that point i had done 3.5 hours in the cold, battery was dying and my will to live was no longer there, so apologies if i fcuk off without much chat Neil!

Annoyed that you pitched up Paul, Jim and Ross, and i never got a chance to speak to any of you!

Cheers,

Dave

I was the only Club racer on the track. Did you take some nice photos?

Jamie, did you not see me standing at the road side just before the lights at the kincardine bridge?
IIRC there was a corsa/saxo boy behind you so maybe you were concentrating on him more! :lol:

I think the bloke in the car park with the V10 M5 & trailer was the owner of one of the Rage's ??
Did anyone see the car on the trailer. ?

Hi Ross, spotted you leaving Powmill as I was heading up to Knockhill, but didn't see you later on :oops:

The Corsa behind me was worrying me a bit, I'd passed him not long after leaving KH and had been passing a few other cars, only to find him pulling off crazy overtakes in order to keep up...
