Breaking drive shafts within 1 hour of track time is what i seem to be good at!!

Dogs ypu admit defeat or get out welded up like I did at cadwell?

Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Please read my ring story:

We got it fixed, but it involved two trips home, and swapping the drive shaft twice!

Croft May 5th, anyone else?

My current count has 8-10 se7ens of various flavours there so we should have a decent showing, still space for more though

We generally send info out a few days before the event but it will be usual times etc so 7.30-8.30 signing on, 8.30 briefing etc.

If you let me know your name I'll check you are safely on the list

We have still got a few slots left for this one and I've managed to book BTCC racer Adam Morgan to instruct for us, we don't charge for instruction on our days so this is a great chance to get some top level coaching for free!

Track limits are set by the circuit, 25 for Croft I think which should make it reasonably roomy out there .

Not sure on final numbers as some of the places have been sold by Mazda on Track and I haven't seen the full list yet.

Just seen a BBC forecast, it's looking like more than just a wet start. ..wet middle and end perhaps..

Hope they've got it wrong.

I'm still showing it drying out, otherwise I may have loaded the wrong car

I've got suitable cars for wet or dry, but if I take the front car out and bin it then I may as not go home so I'll be in the MK regardless...

At least it was dry loading up!

Definitely a day of two halves! Piddly wet in the morning, but thankfully it dried out after lunch, although the wind was quite strong over the back of the circuit.

Nice to meet up with a couple of bods of here, T/Jack and G/prince.

Shall get some pics up soon, and some vid.. eventually.

Some videos.

Me, with a couple of Westy mates ahead, passed by my pal in the CRX, then followed another Westy mate.

Last session of the day, following Gingerprince's MK Blade.

Pal in the CRX, same session as my first one. Doesn't it sound good!
