A few pics from todays trackday at Anglesey, that i managed to snatch between sessions.
Great day, superb track,cracking weather and a real good crack with the lads, good to meet some new faces, hope you all enjoyed it as much as i did.

P.S what a stupid place to leave a line of traffic cones

Nice pics!
Glad you had a great day out.
I couldn't get there as SWMBO was too ill to leave (not that I would have anyway).
Maybe next time.

Chris, love the picts of the Sprint-R.
Carbon Mods sent me a "test" set of csr wings this week to try. They fit, so I am getting a second pair next week.
They look cool on your car!
All I need is the rear wing! Where did you get yours!

From Phil, Myself and Keith - many thanks to all for such a brilliant day out - excellent evenings chat around the campfire! I'm sure I can say that the new track was superb...

Do most of you tow your cars to trackdays or drive them there?

The quality of the driving was pathetic... I had a similar incident with the ALFA 15*on the corkscrew turn, the driver tried to outbrake me into it, so he's got 3.2 with Turbo but even in Ireland surely they understand trackday rules. I was SO angry I sought him out in the Carpark... I was SO close to nutting him

Took me ages to calm down... the only retribution I had was returning the favour on the subsequent lap, it was getting very lairy towards the end of the day, which spoiled it.

Still had fun though....

i was letting plenty of faster cars past but most cars in the afternoon were staying on the racing line and not letting anyone past .scooby did better than expected considering tyres were only 300 mile on em lol .

there was a few in our group who drove down to anglesey and those that trailored like me took al our tools and bits they needed.the benefit of trailoring is if anything goes wrong with ya car you can use ya tow car like i did

Ah that would be you who passed me on the A55 on the way home (Silver WRX towing black Indy). Nice choice


higgsti - 8/7/07 at 03:22 PM

it was me excellent tow car . thats what i thought driving was all about until i bought my first westfield and now i know differently.must say it went well on track was surprised could keep up with most things except slick shod cars and sevens .plenty of 4 wheel drifts especilly on the left hander after pit straight and following hairpin

Looks like you all had a great time, I couldn't make this weekend, but plan to go up for the Bank Holiday weekend, so might see you there.

Some cool pics there Al, love the Sprint R's

Great weekend, cheers Chris for the headsup getting everyone together, good to see everyone and meet new guys too. Can't believe how good the weather was, I now look like a large Swan Vesta, really needed some sun cream

Shame about one incident though (I won't mention who or what for insurance purposes but you know who you are) - hope you get it sorted mate.

See you at York weather permitting.
