RLC is in to see Willie at CLCM on Thursday morning. Hopefully that should have us nicely set up for SIDC

Good write up Andy, and again, well done to both you and Neil on your performances on Sat.

Did you head of on St Marys Loch route home, or just the 'Beeftub'?

I went on to Abbington and had to get petrol, then pretty wet most of the way home.

Was dying for a piss and fed-up withthe m-way so just jollied up the Moffat road. Toyed with St Mary's loch and going to crash at my parents place, but thought better of it.

Nearly ran out of fuel but got all the way to Penicuik before refueling

Thanks again for coming down, and hope you enjoyed it - much appreciated, although i was quieter than usual due to nerves - no bad thing some would say

Andy, great report. Thanks for taking the time to write it. real adrenalin pumping stuff.
Good luck at Silverstone.

Thanks guys.

I sat down on Sunday night still on a high after it all.

Last night i entered every race through the end of the season, and all for forms have gone to LOTRDC today!

Here's hoping they are all as much fun as the first one. Looking forward to SIDC this Saturday, and taking the RLC round KH for the first time since upgrading it.

We're hoping to use this as a suspension set up session, so hopefully RLC will be handling as well as possible for the next meeting..........can't believe this all started only 5 weeks ago!

Wise - to get the forms in - I have done likewise and my name is now on the list for all four

Was there damage from the tap that RL got?

a tiny little mark - looked like it was from the tyre!

Apart from that she seems fine, although will check the rear when i get her jacked up again

Great read. You seem to have got on way better than team Vx220!

supposedly the 2 team drivers are selling up to buy elises.

I believe its due to the extra weight the Vx carries through having to run a full cage and the restrictions imposed having an engine larger than 2000cc.
Never really understood why Lotus made the roll bar different on the 116!

Still great to see a race series where all Elise derivatives can go hard at it

Sorry to read that.

John's start in the second race, saw him fly past me, then fly back in reverse!
I'd forgotten all about that!

Was sorry to go past him twice later on as the car was retired
