KH SIDC Today

[666]

Sounds like you all had a good day at KH. I managed to convince the other half that it was on the way back home, but I'm pretty sure she worked out that I was lying when the journey lasted an extra hour or so!!! Was good to see so many Loti together. I've only seen about 3 on the roads so to see them all was great. It was just a shame that I didn't have time to walk around and meet you all. Saw who I can only assume is Mass desperately trying to fill up a Cup Racer, obviously to get back out on the track asap! Cant fault you, Mass. Wasn't hard to work out which one was Andy G (maybe the Atom gave it away )

Got glaring looks from the missus shortly after that so had to go home. I get the feeling she doesn't quite get the 'Track day' mentallity yet. Hopefully she'll get to like it eventually Maybe

Next time I'll try to see a bit more, and say hello to everyone. Not sure I've got the bottle to take mine out on the track tho!

It's yesterday now but I had a great time. Especially once I'd had something to eat to make brain work.
Good to see my big bro, and for him to take me out in my car to show me how it's done! The man has no fear!!!
Really nice to meet everyone special, thanks to Neil for helping out with excellent driving advice and petrol station advice.. was down to absolutely empty as I pulled into the forecourt! Pretty knackered today what with 340 miles of driving but can't wait to get booked up for next SIDC and try to drive better, faster and harder!! Excellent!

Oh and thanks Andy for your encouraging words in your post.. much appreciated!

The instructors comments regarding the gravel didn't make me nervous at all!

[foz01]

Typical, i decide not to go and the weather is dry all day FFS

[catrionaD]

re: falling off the road into gravel and flipping over like a pancake on heat (more or less what the instructor said beforehand)...not exactly what you want to hear just before your 'first time' on track in you new car when you're a bit nervous already... but i suppose they have to tell you so you're not surprised when you end up upside down.. hmmm.

really glad it was dry though i think I may have passed out in fear had i been out in the wet with ferg at the wheel! I don't think i make a good passenger.. I was shaking when he pulled into the pits! but exhilirated!!!!(that doesn't look right)..

Had a great day out yesterday even though it stayed dry all day

My car was going well for a change which was nice only problem was that Lynda managed to melt my front slicks down to the canvas , so ended up with slicks on the front and 888's on the rear which will probadly be the way i run it from now on as it really let you steer the car on the throttle

Was also good to see everyone again

A couple of pics of my 3 wheeler



Any more feel free to post them up

Mike, who was making the car tripod more.....you or Lynda?????
Good effort with the slicks Lynda!

Had a brilliant day on Saturday, was great putting more faces to forum names

Thank you very much Kenny for the px laps, great driving. I just can't believe the speed you can take the corners at and it just sticks awesome.

The px laps in Ed's Caterham were great too thank you.

Thank you also to Jamie for taking my brother out for some px laps, he was very impressed and complimenting your driving and the car

Really looking forward to Kames now

It looks to be me driving in most of the pics but i am pretty sure Lynda would of been on 3 wheels most of the time also

How was your car going?

[meatball]

Was good......some confindence has returned......I must be due a crash then!
What power is your 306 putting out?
Sounded good on the straights!

I spotted your car parked near me (very nice colour by the way). Sorry I did not have the time to say hi. You have already gathered I was busy filling up (for the third time) with only 15 mins to go.

Please come and say hello next time.

, hope not as i love your car

Pug has a exhaust and induction kit with about 170bhp but weighs 1200kg Bit to loud for my liking on the road, but perfect on track

edit; 170bhp 9 years ago....maybe not now:lol:

hi folks,
was my firdt track day on saturday as well.

has a superb day and was good to meet a few new folk and put faces to the names on here lol
the girlfriend came up on saturday as well, just as a spectator but she says next time she's definately goin passenger and maybe drivin!!!!
so next one if anybody sees her standing about rab her into the passenger seat.

cheers to tut for the pax laps, car is stupidly fast compared to anythin i've been in before, thanks

cheers to Andy D ( i think,with the yellow 135R) for coming out with me for a few laps, hints and tips and helping me find where the limits (and beyond) of grip are

campbell no apologies from you as per previous page. was enjoyin the wee tussle we were havin........until i fell off

just a wee word for all the track virgins out there who are considering a track day.......this was my first and i cant recommend it highly enough. book onto one of the SIDC days, every body very friendly on and off track so good for the virgins........very good indeed

[Modena Scotland]

The SIDC day seems to have good effect on everyone who attended. Hope more virgins will venture onto the track this season. Its a crime not to track your Lotus. Tracking does not not always mean crashing or intimidation.

More SEers the merrier.
