David, on-track video teaser looks AWESOME, glad you still set it up...I know that I forgot all about it ;-)

Jim, your aerial stuff is magic. A couple of those would make great cover shots for the "AMP3 2011 DVD" !!

I was sharing the car with Uncle Danny, only his second time out at KH and first ever in my Elise (gulp). But thanks to some valuable pointers from Robin, and an extremely well behaved field, I think he had a ball and zero incidents. Phew! I was particularly impressed at his saving of a tank-slapper between Butchers and the Chicane :shock: He reckoned the tyres had gone off ;-)

I think UJI spent more of the session on track than ever before, poor scone got next to no cooling down time, but never missed a beat and once I'd got my eye in again I was actually catching some people up :-)

Some have already thanked Andy, Shug, Mark and presumably there are also several others who put a lot into making this noble event happen so slickly. Truly well done, all of you. Don't underestimate how much is involved, not just in getting the event off the ground but also making it run SMOOTHLY. AMP3 diversifying into corporate events?...wouldn't surprise me!

I wonder what the "Totaliser" will read once Mrs Andy has done all the sums?!

I wasn't drinking at the aftershow party, so I can safely say that around half the attendees were totally rubbered by midnight. The appearance of the gimp mask made me feel strangely sick, but Benny seemed to be enjoying himself so each to their own eh :twisted: A small proportion of the remaining half were worse than rubbered , let's hope they only went back to Benny's and not into town to the Opal Lounge VIP room.

Excellent social opportunity - was great to catch up with people that I see so rarely these days.

Roll on next year. Can we have a 4 hour one next time please Dad :lol:

Another big :thumbsup from me.
Thanks to Andy, Shug and everyone else involved in this. We had great fun on the track (thanks to Colin and Stew for the pax laps in the 340R - what a machine).

I've just about recovered from the bbq/auction/raffle (Susan's enjoying the fanny wangs in the garden :lol: ) Once again my whisky collection has grown considerably :oops:

Some poor quality video clips. Many SE cars in them though.

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

What a great day, well done to everyone involved.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Track action despite getting a bit carried away and making my first visit to the gravel. Busy track but great etiquette as always.

Seriously rough this morning after Louise and I taking advantage of a rare night without the kids.

Loving the aerial pics!
