Pete's racing his Civic at Cadwell this Sunday, so he should be well practiced for the trackday. 
Me and Chris Mason sneaked down last night and did a evening session at Cadwell,just to make sure we don't get lapped too many times with all
these s7vens booked on

Cheers Andy,but to be honest I think the noise of the car makes it look like it was going faster than I actually am ,still only managed a 1m 48s on
my best lap,but we had to go slow through the old hair pin,due to BMW removing the armco down there, and the Ultima driver was not the best in the
world.
And Martin don't worry about how fast or slow you are,I have found at every trackday Ive done,there's always someone who is a better
driver me,and with a faster car than me,or a combination of both those things,the main thing is drive within your limits,watch your mirrors,and enjoy
yourself.

Have we been given the times for signing on and safety briefing? Have checked through the Easytrack website, and can only find a "typical"
time of 08-40 for the briefing..
Weather forecast is showing a little moisture through the day.. I hope I dont have to fit the antique 888s, cant imagine they'll have much grip
in the wet!
Bring on the heatwave!

Well, weather's still looking a bit dampish. If it stays wet, I can see us kit car drivers getting wupped by a pair of chavved up Clios.

Desperately hoping for dry track. Last time I was at Cadwell it was damp all day and self-preservation prevented me enjoying the track to the full.
And with light RWD car against heavier FWD cars I was keeping up but couldn't pass.

The problem with days like that, is the wet grass. If you do go off, you wont stop till something stops you!
Here's hoping for at least a dry session or two..

That's a horror!
Funnily enough, my very first visit to Cadwell was like that. They shut off the mountain half of the circuit because of the satnding water on the
straight.
