Well done Calvin for organising a cracking track day even though I did not arrive until after 2pm.

It was nice to see Nick (The Moose) and Dylan having a spirited drive out on the track, you two were evenly matched and there was never more than a nats crotchet between the two of you.

It was nice to see even though everybody was driving as hard as possible in the conditions that there were not any accidents, this must be a testament to everybody's driving skills.

Sorry to hear about Mervil's engine problems but I am sure that even now you are putting your car on a trailer ready for the trip to have the car sorted out.

Thanks also to Ellis for the 'loan' of his umbrella whilst he was not using it.

Having seen what a good time was had by all I will definitely be entering my car on the next event.

Whiteline rear anti-roll bar is the way forward Matt, transformed the handling of mine. Dialled that nasty understeer right out.

Well my mate is popping round tomorrow with his diagnostics computer to see where and when it happened and what the hell is wrong with it!! I'll ring quite a few companies before I settle on a package, Engine Tuner have already given me a quote 'Roll in- Drive out'

I think their 2.1 with S206 Turbo would be a superb motor

Fair play to all the lads today for pushing the cars to the limit in the pouring rain. Great day today and great bunch of lads you scooby lot and glad to see i am still made welcome even though i have joined the dark side. Would be good to see another track day later in the summer and perhaps some sun as well.

Many thanks to Calvin for organising this, I had a great day!

I think I had the oldest car (1988) and highest milage (161,000) out of everyone there. Certainly not the slowest though

I quite enjoyed the rain it highlighted the people who could drive well I think I did spin a few times though. Once right at the start when I got a bit carried away with cold tyres on the rear and when I got a bit cocky with the handbrake in the wet!

Hopefully get to run with you guys again sometime!

(I was the guy in the red CRX just incase your wondering)

If another one is organised then I'd suggest a non refundable deposit to secure spaces

.....and I don't think I'll be going on this time
