Cheers Andy for another great night.
Other than a few laps in Tut’s passenger seat (thanks again Tut, great fun), I lapped pretty much continuously.
Damp track with dryish line was a fun challenge. With a bit less grip Duffus almost became a proper corner for the MX5 too – it’s so slow chugging up the hill that it’s usually easy to take flat in the dry with any line you choose.
Oh, and the blue S1 with the fresh Honda in it looked fantastic. What a neat conversion. Want!

Great night again - loads of folk just turning up for a chinwag as well.
Massive cheers to Kenny for the shot of the Zenos - impressive car that and loads of potential. Soundtrack reminds me of a Porsche 962 (no greater honour from me) in the whooshes and chirps from the turbo behind your lugs.
Also to Andy who let me out in the 211 - ended up waving at me from the pitwall to remind me the car wasn't actually mine Total weapon. So planted, so confidence inspiring and so precise.
Great to catch up with tons of folk, awesome track manners, superb atmosphere - great evening.
Next - the Charity day...

Everyone - thank you for attending!
It was a great night. I actually thought, although quite a few people couldnt make it, that it was one of the best SE outings I've been on in years.
Typical SE, everyone having fun, supportive, encouraging newbies, and just having a ball.
Highlight, probably probably the 211 vs V6 CR battle and then getting asked to try and make Petes car overheat, which was just happening when the flag came out and thanks to Uncle Ron for the laps!
Thanks to all those who attended for the support. It becomes very expensive for me if we can get enough people, and we JUST made this one work and no more.
The next one if gearing up to be the last of the 3 for 2016, but if theres enough interest from the SE posse I'll try and look in to 2017 and monthly outing

More for 2017 please. It would be a shame for you to lose out financially and clearly involves a fair bit or organizing too but the upside is the best etiquette I have been on for track days and a great evening(s). What is the 'right' number of attendee's for these? Around 25?Andy G wrote:Everyone - thank you for attending!

Actually its around 30, as there are always no shows, broken cars, and its usually quite hard for Scott, Shug and myself to get out on trackmxvx wrote:

Certainly hope to get more of these going in 2017, as I'm enjoying the social side of it as much as the driving.
