Yeah, another great night, some nice cars to drool over and great company although I didn't see much of anyone as I was out on track for the majority of the session, testament to the little shed and how well sorted she is that's like 3 track days and 2 Walshy days taking an utter pounding with no mechanical issues at all. Good to see some of the SE crew up for a nosey too! Sorry I didn't stop and chat long was too busy having fun :thumbsup Thanks to Stu for the lend of his compressor, I always thought the S2 should be on say 24/26psi after about 15 mins I dropped the pressures down there and it felt a bit meh compared to before so Stu helped me sort this with a lend of his compressor and cigarette lighter as my socket seems to not work :oops: seems the car is much happier up at 30/32psi on AD07/08... Also took a second off my lap time :thumbsup

Same here, never managed much chat as had to shoot sharpish after track closed.. I too improved my lap times but finding time is getting harder almost into the 61's last night but not quite :-( I think my next event might be some one to one instruction. Enjoyed a good wee push with Mark on my tail towards then end, you were going well and and made me up my commitment a bit when I wasn't shaking you with my power advantage. Great show from the Lotus contingent... great night.

Was great fun mate, yeah you had me on all the straight bits but I wasn't far away by MacIntyres, likewise keeping up made me push that little bit extra, really enjoyed the night :thumbsup I also fancy some one to one Knockhill tuition to see where I can improve a bit... I was consistent 1:06 very almost 1:05, a tenth off. Andy said he'd take my car round next time so that I can see what it is actually capable of lol :lol: I'll not be trying to match his times! That said my tyres are on the wear bands now so new ones might get me into 1:05 territory , I'd love to see a 1:04 or 03 out of my car.... I had a great time anyway and that's the main thing, it's not a race not that there was much there I could catch in my lowly S2 Elise, I'm utterly hooked and looking to see what's on in September as Andy's day in October seems so far away lol....

Had a great night too, second time out on track in the 2-11 (yellow one). Still getting used to the car but loving it so far. Didn't take any times but wasn't getting overtaken by much so that's good enough for me! :lol:

Good to see everyone as always although had an absolute shocker trying to get to Knockhill on time. What has happened to the Edinburgh bypass? It took me 2 1/2 hours . (45 mins in the way home)

Anyway another good night until I realised how close I was to running out of rear brake pads's. Always entertaining having such a wide variety of cars and seeing the differences.

3x211 must be a record for Knockhill surely?

Great etiquette , people improving and learning their cars and everyone having fun. More of that please
