The rain really skewed the handling results, if you got a few runs in the dry then you were well up the timing scoreboard.
IIRC John F was 3rd in his fairly std Sti5 when I last spoke to him.
I had spent 2 days setting my car up for the handling circuit, with a new set of Whiteline ARB's, springs, drop links, adjustable rear tie rods, full bush set and full alignment........but.......by the time I had done 2 drag runs the heavens had opened
The extra camber and circuit suspension set up didn't seem to cause too much delay on the 1/4m thankfully !!

it was at least drizzling on all my runs, admittedly it did get a whole lot worse later on in the day.....as a mondeo nearly found out

I think i slipped down to 9th in the end.
I was pleased with my last run in the last 15 minutes, it came together well with a 38.9 in the pissing rain, 0.4 slower than my dry run. Neils time was seriously quick.
Well done Andy, top result again!
Very glad to see Bob was OK after a very scary moment, hopefully it's not too bad when it's looked at back at the workshop.

Good to meet you all today - John, you should have taken the cement out of the boot mate 
Just a pity my car was off the road and I couldn't have set that fastest time, eh Neilo?
Had an email from Bob and he's ok - thankfully

I think it was done on best time on each "heat", so if you couldn't put in a good time in that particular heat you lost out to the faster car.
Consistancy over fluke.
Wasn't really taking much notice of how it was organised.
All I know is Shauns car stayed in the top three until the final 3 cars ran where it in put the winning time to take it.
Well done Dirk.

i managed a high and a mid 37 in standard V3 type R when it was dry, cud of gone a bit quicker then came the rain, and my tyres were not best suited to that, still did all 5 runs, good laugh sliding all over the place

Ahh got ya.
Trackday tyres would have been an advantage in the morning whilst it was dry, but Shaun left them in our workshop.
