Croft - 1st July 2016
Re: Croft - 1st July 2016
Great day gents. My completely dumped rear tyre got more interesting on the way home when the throttle started misbehaving and all of a sudden applying itself at full power in the rain. Newcastle rush hour was a series of burn outs .....
We need more trackdays! And I need new tyres

Two negatives make a positive but only in Scotland do two positives make a negative - 'Aye right.'

Re: Croft - 1st July 2016
Another great day at Croft.
The view of Andy getting completely sideways in my rear view mirror going through the esses was my highlight of the day.
The low point was coming in with a rumbling noise from the car only to discover my n/s rear wheel was loose

Looked like you were catching it... for a while. Would have been the perfect drift if the track had turned sharper right there.a4drk wrote:Here's me spinning off when the rain came on

Could have ended a lot worse than just a rumble!greyrigg wrote:Another great day at Croft.

Re: Croft - 1st July 2016
Just to say thanks a lot to D for a great trip. Croft is epic and I am so glad I went. Thoroughly enjoyed the drive down on the old M74.
Good to meet some new faces too!
Thanks to AndyG for a wee shot of the s1. Thanks too for the pax laps and offers of a drive, really appreciated.
Til the next one!!

Re: Croft - 1st July 2016
That was my first time doing Croft and I thought it was a great track!!
Really enjoyed some of my sessions out trading places with some of the other SE guys and will definitely do it again - Pretty close to home too as tracks go.
Seeing Mr Kyle spin into the grass and Andy sideways at every corner when his tyres were shot were highly amusing moments too......

Had a cheeky wee spin myself then forgot the 'come in if you spin' rule so got black flagged too.
Managed to upset someone early on in the day too. Will post evidence when I get a chance.
Other than that great track and the car was going very well on the new suspension.

Re: Croft - 1st July 2016
good sign of effort.
I managed to slide down the entire straight after that in mine - new tyres just purchased

Good hands!
Re: Croft - 1st July 2016
Och ok then, since we're doing spin vids here's mine, mildly moist. Almost had it,..... almost.
