beefy, the only thing they tested on the firecat was how well it sits on concrete
must of only gone round about 8 times
I make that only 9 places filled so far, may bring my kids along and let them have a go + the missus reckons she can get the day off too, she might actually be slower than super, but I doubt it

Can any body tell me the procedure?
usual format is get there @ 10am, get in some practice laps, stop for dinner around 1pm, back on track @ 2pm till we leave around 4-5 ish.
some fun timing laps are done in the afternoon, using hi-tech umbrellas and mobile phone stopwatches
the main thing is to enjoy the day, and get rides in as many different cars as possible
chris.

He will be responsible for everyone`s actions.

Drive as fast as your car can accelerate up the main straight, stand on brakes, wonder what the smell is for a moment, turn in, turn in some more, turn in and apply some throttle hoping the nose will bite, realise its not and lift, catch oversteer, apply throttle, realise you've got to brake again, wonder what the smell is, flick through a right then sharp left, accelerate, brake heavily, wonder what the smell is, try and guess the apex, miss it by a mile and hammer it down the straight. Repeat until you realise the smell is your brake fluid boiling and your brakes no longer work. come off track until everythings cooled down then repeat.

Well *bumped* Andy, was just coming on here to find this thread!
Just had four new tyres delivered courtesey of leigh tyres, think I'm gonna have to put the spare wheels on this time as it shagged my last set from too much hooning.
Nearly a month to go.

Charlie, I think I`m going to need new pads after this next outing to Curborough...
Hopefully I can make the tyres last longer...

Good but dusty. You will not need a new set after Curbough, they do not take much of a hammering as the speeds are quite low. Unless they are well worn to begin with.

I think it depends how hard you are on braking at curb. as to whether you can **** your brakes - I had to do some vigorous pumping to get some pressure back in mine when I left to go home afterwards, but then my pads were pretty much down to metal.

Better than taking corners with "hetrosexual caution"
