Just checked the latest weather report, forecast is for heavy showers all day

But knowing Knockhill's microclimate we will probably be basking in sunshine

See you all tomorrow

I've just spent the night out at Haymarket and to be honest guys - if you haven't already booked and paid then I wouldn't bother.

The amount of rain and high winds will mean the track and infield will be soaking - bearing in mind it's the infield that you and tyres when you run out of black stuff!

Looking pretty suspect here, not that it counts for much given i am miles away!

Think i may just give this one a miss chaps! Hey...at least your cars will be lighter!

had a wicked day

greasy and sunny to start with then a heavy shower, then the sun came out again. Not much traffic, nice and slidey(?) with plenty of space to get sideways

one of the best days i've had at KH

Great day, even if it was a bit damp

I really had a good time sliding around on a quiet track. It was an ideal opportunity to learn a bit more about the handling characteristics of the car

Even if it did mean a near miss with a hay bail

Big up to Ed for allowing me turn a few laps in his lovely Exige

Canâ€™t wait for the first track day of 2007. I think I have caught the bug

Hi chaps,

I was in the black 02 WRX and have some footage of some of you. It was a great day despite the 4WD friendly weather

Was speaking to the woman in the Shell garage at Drum on the way home and she was asking for Tut. I think she got the horn from his shorts wearing episode a few weeks back

Will post up footage when google get their act together

I'm loving the way the pictures give the impression that Ed spent more time in the infield than on the track

Anyone might think you were a bunch of woofters with those roofs on <BG>

p.s. Ed you have no excuse either now

To be fair i think those pics were taken at different spells during the session. It was dry to start with and then got wet for a bit and then dried off for a bit later on. The weather still hasnt been good enough for me to get out my dremel!
