Cadwell Park footage 9th Feb 08

First time I've managed to run slicks at Cadwell and it made a fair difference. 8)

Best time in there is about 1.42.9 which I was pretty happy with. :D 8) THere weren't many laps with no traffic though. :(

Perfect conditions with nice dry weather and not too warm. :thumbsup

No luck invloved whatsoever. :P The last 5 trackdays have been wet so I was due a dry one. Just as well as my road/wet weather tyres 888's, were slicks too. :lol:

Perfect conditions though. You should have gone. :D

Sorry a bit late. :oops:

Drove down via A68, stayed in a converted barn, had a few beers, went to bed, couldn't sleep because of all the snoring, slept on the couch for 4 hours, drove to track, drove round in circles all day, couple of cars brought home on recovery, drove home. The End. :D :thumbsup

Well that was a event full day out with 1 guy (Steve) arriving at 3am due to getting home from work late :roll: . 2 cars home on a recovery truck and mine limping home as just after lunch it started playing up by cutting out which ended play for me :cry: , between myself and Gav we came to the conclusion that it was fcuked :lol: Not sure what the problem is yet but it is either the coil packs or something to do with the fuel pump/filter but i managed to limp it home anyway. Cheers D for being my support vehicle on route home, appreciated :wink:

Cadwell was a great track pretty technical and narrow which my Pug seemed to be enjoying with its new Carbtech pads and me slowly getting this heel and toe thing :twisted: :lol: The bigger ARB has defo helped with the understeer which is nice, which brings me onto my little spin :oops: . Once you come up over the mountain into the twistys the first right has a little jump where the tail came round and i think once it landed it dug in and spat me the other way, before i knew it i was facing the wrong direction :shock:

All in a great weekend roll on the next one 8)

Excellent, feel free to work on expanding the next one, perhaps throw in a witty anecdote or two :thumbsup
