Well what a great circuit and great company, nice to meet a few new faces too.
Think everyone enjoyed it with no issues apart from the odd melted number plate. [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY]
Thanks for the company Dom and apologies for my rubbish jokes etc.
I should have some decent video.

Great track - I decided in the end I really liked it.
Took me 120 track miles to decide this.
Still hate the hairpin.

Brilliant photo's and Video Don. .

I had a fantastic day, really enjoyed my first visit to Croft But I have to admit the drive back from Glasgow this morning was far more exciting, the rain was truly "Biblical", that combine with the well worn 888's made for an ar$e clenching drive home.

Still, well worth it. It was a great trip and no doubt Ali will be amazed I never got lost once on the way back home.

Nice one BigD and Kinger!

Great trip and track! Catching up with loads of folks. :D
Sunny in/out my fave corner surprisingly rather than the really fast stuff. Very technical track and well worth doing.
T shirt and sunglasses all the way back to north of Glasgow, a bit chilly and damp for the final leg so eventually stopped to put on my helmet but home just before 11pm.

What about these guys? Been on my diet plan?

Wow, what can I say?... the speed, the thrill, the over-taking, the danger, the excitement.. and that was just white van man on the way home!

Great trip. A big thanks to BigD for his chauffeuring services. A big thanks to those who let me have some track time :thumbsup :cheers

Loved the track - there are some great sections where you can really carry some speed, and some other sections that require some mastering.

Always a hoot following Malcolm (and some proper racing lines). Laughing out loud in my helmet as he 'brrrap'd' the exit kerb at Sunny Out with a good dose of opposite lock... :D

Oh and no interest from the police on the way back despite overtaking 2 traffic cars.
(rear plate was in the footwell after the ever present melting issues)
