No elises or exiges and almost no se ers at a track night.Where was everyone ? apart from mckean who at least turned up in a highly modified elise! (5seats ,large boot and sporting audi badges). Was a good night ,stayed dry apart from a shower about 5.45 .

they dont advertise their nights on SE.com so its difficult for us to show support!!! 4mil sometimes draws attention them but thats about it! :)

Was that yourself in the S2? I turned up about 7 to see 4mil and Paul (shooomer) was also there. Swithering on the way over about doing the last hour or so, but discovered a nasty sticking throttle on the access road, so decided against.

Shug - throttle sticking from engine or pedal end?

I've just came down with the same - pedal end or so it would seem - anytime more than 3/4 throttle.

the pace was very mixed with a couple of fast cars ,gt3 ,fischer fury, and an escort with 500-600bhp and a lot of slower cars on.

I'm thinking TB's but haven't had a look yet. Can feel a click under the pedal at full throttle, so know when it's gonna happen - going to have a quick root about tonight, or tomorrow at John's (in the lunch break)

Yup the Escort (like GpA job) was blindingly quick looking.

Puncture is quite a tame way of putting it!! ;) You wouldn't have recognised me as I was straight from client meetings in shirt (taking tie off as I walked to pitlane!) 8)
