ouch!!!

 

we should have a sweepstake of lap times, for both wet and dry conditions see whos closest

 

How do you mean?

for the fastest person?

or just how close to the time you get whcih you pull out??

 

Please bring your V5...!!!

 

I aint driving no golf!

what do you mean exactly?

 

Log book (V5), winner keeps the opponents car!

(Just kidding by the way)

 

ahhh race for pinks! as the yankees say

im really looking forward to this now, shoudl be quite the spectacle i take it by the way you talk buck that you have a fair amount of track experience under your belt?

 

Track days I have done a couple.

Quite a bit of karting experience, although nothing at serious competition level.

My one and only w/e visit to the Ring, just after I got my car, 39 laps. Lap time around 9 minutes. 4 laps in the rain which was great fun.

Yourself?

 

39 laps of the ring in a weekend? i did 2 (both in rain and fog last october) but then i was on a tight schedule

Ive only ever doen one full trackday, that was in Nov 2004 when my car was around 280bhp and on standard shocks/springs. Ive done things like trax last year and GT battle last year at rockingham, but they cant really be classed as full trackdays.

I also loved karting and am way too competitive when doing that. We had an interclub competition with my forum vs the pulsar gtir modifiers and i wont that by 52 seconds in a 40 minute race loved it.....

In all honesty i think that i get most from the karting but also playing far too many games as a kid.....(im only just 26 incidentally so i literally was a kid playing stuff like GP2 etc)

The red mist decends.......

Incidentally i dont take this as seriously as some....ill be the one in jeans and a long sleeved t-shirt...

 

26!!!!!!

You must of have a hard life then!

 

thought you were only 28 though shaun.....






so anyway shaun, you gonna hit a 1:10 this time?

 

not if the weather stays like this

 

Maybe my missus should be driving instead of me then! I've done the odd trackday here and there, and a couple of laps of the 'Ring.

She's driven or competed at:
Mallory
Oulton Park
Donnington
Snetterton
Cadwell Park
Pembrey
Llandow
Nurburgring
And some others I forget...

However, this is my one chance to have a play, instead of being spanner monkey/trailer driver/gofer/chief supporter/etc. It's her turn to wait nervously for the car to re-appear around the corner each lap!

 

chicken

 

Yep! Arrived on Friday, dumped my gear, 4 laps. Sat 19 laps, Sun 16 laps. Should have bought a season ticket for that w/e, would have been cheaper!

You wont be the only one!

Buck

 

i think my power delivery might be slightly different to yours

 

i did advise mikey to have it turned down a touch, even if it stays dry.....will be amusing to watch if he doesnt

 

jeans n t-shirt here too, racing suits are for nonces


until i find a cheap one that is

 

he hasn't! if anything it's gone up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KRPK7D-FJI

 

those car doors look a bit flimsy in the vid, wot are they made of.....fibreglass

 

it's not just the doors

 

i meant turned down from that.....i know what power its running at the moment

 

Aye, i had a ganders at it when i was at scoobclinic the other week, shud weigh,urrrrmmm, all of 10 stone **** wet thru

 

500bhp at the wheels?! So whats the engine BHP?

 

a conservative 640 for this weekend

 

can see that fishtailing down the straights

pure comedy on the cards

 

you saw what happened at SSO with only 350 in my own car

 

and mine to be fair......never seen a mondeo reverse so quickly....

 

anyway, i'll be locking the dccd up abit to compensate, how about you?

 

Good luck to you all
