P&**ing down in Bristol at the moment so not looking good for tomorrow I'm afraid.
I'll make a call if I'm coming to watch in the morning - if it's still wet I'm off to work
Don't fancy standing out in the rain all day trying to get photos - Beamer however is an all weather photographer
Have a good day - may see you if the suns out
Cheers
Mark

Would just like to thank the organisers and instructors for making my first ever track day an exciting and memorable one, my sympathies go out to terry b for his unfortunate collision with a crash barrier and Jimmy (think thats his name) for his collision with the tyre wall

What a great day, Would like to thank Mark and Terry for all the organising. It was a really well run day.
Was well pleased with the MX5, managed to keep up and overtake a few of them old scoobys The track was a lot more slippery than i would of expected but i did'nt mind cos it just gave me more chance to go sideways had a good load of drifts around quarry but the one around onto the start/finish was a bit more tricky, hense why i got it buried in the potatoe field ( i blame olley )
Another thanks to Mark, Glad i kept you entertained when you was following me

all very good apart from the mini driver that broke every track rule for overtaking all day.
Did the following not apply to mini's.??
No overtaking without the car infront indicating and moving to the left.
No overtaking in the corners.
No diving inside into corners and forcing yourself in were there isn't a gap.
there had been no accidents resulting in damage when we left ,although there had been a good few spins.
Hope the damaged cars are easily repairable.

I third it.
He was quick though! I want some of those tyres!
I were right pissed off when I indicated to let him past along with a slower car in front, and several other cars who were slower than me also took the opportunity to overtake, with me stuck like piffy on the left side of the track.
