I will need to speak to you about your car and driver Shaun, as i will be announcing the team fairly soon, but i wont make any decisions until i have spoken direct with every candidate.

Here's a little clip of a few of the spins...

And coming into the stop box, i was sure i was gonna slide with no ABS and 888's on, but.....no problems:p

They caught me out good and proper. Were they like that all day? I only got a couple of laps in the afternoon so thought maybe someone had hit them earlier?

What's pointless is being scared of a bit of water :cuckoo: , you could have had a laugh, what other people think of your **** driving doesnt or shouldnt matter. :nono: :D

johnfelstead 22 May 2006 09:10 PM

They were like that from the start Danny, i quite liked that as it made you think on how to get a better line. I only really got it right through there on my last run.

Chris L 22 May 2006 09:17 PM

LOL John - nice to see you've lost none of your impeccable driving style :D :D

Exactly, i knew after to speaking to you John whilst i was queuing for the handling i was going to have trouble :D, so just went for the giggle.

After my sighting lap, i was chuckling to myself in the car, because i knew i would be sh!t, so just went to entertain the crowd. Opening the diff to fully open helped :D

Nice vid but you missed mine :D

Click here

My excuse... Second run and I was just testing the new wheels/tyres out.

And I did try to tidy up my mess ;)

RB5_245 22 May 2006 09:38 PM

good vid, looks like a good day out :)

Thats easy for you to say.... I can't swim!!!! :D

Anyway..... you should of won the handling..... especially considering you had an unfair advantage than anyone else and walked the track first!!! lol :nono: :hjtwofing :D

Keep throwin those stones..... just make sure your move out of your greenhouse first though!!! :p :D :D

johnfelstead 22 May 2006 10:24 PM

So did lots of other people, normal sprinting etiquete old chap. ;) Considering you helped set the course up the day before you had no excuse not to give it a go at least once. :cry:

The sad thing is you showed us all your testing video's on the Prodrive test track, boasted how brilliant you now are, and still didnt have a go. Dont let that happen next time or you really will look a tit.:nono: :D

ex-webby 22 May 2006 10:33 PM

John,

I didnt see anyone else walk the track..... you still taking the drugs?!? :D :cry:

BTW... I never had anything to do with setting the handling circuit up so :hjtwofing

I'm at ease with the fact that I am a tit..... your the one that needs to accept that you are!!! :D I'm man enough..... are you?!? ;) :D

It's all about knowing your limits mate.... I knew mine, wanted the car to win so did what I needed to do! ;) :D

Regards,
Shaun.
:luvlove:

johnfelstead 22 May 2006 10:39 PM

You told me yourself you set the place up on Saturday with Chris, when i was asking you why you hadnt driven yet. Or were you bull****ting again? AndyF and P20SPD walked the course a few minutes after me, as did some other people who were there early.

If driving your car on the handling track in the pissing rain makes you a tit, then guilty as charged. :D

ex-webby 22 May 2006 10:50 PM

John,

Did I actually say "I set up the handling circuit".... I said I was there on Saturday to setup..... just a bit more to the event then setting up the handling circuit! ;)

Take head Johnny boy.....

Assumption is the mother of all F* ups and you just had triplets! :D

Anyway..... must of been something wrong with your setup as my toyo's were ace to base!!! :cry: Remember a bad workman always blames his tools... you tool!!! :D

Regards,
Shaun.

flynnstudio 22 May 2006 11:18 PM

Great stuff - I think we got that from another angle Dannyboy....when I get chance I'll string them all together and post it up later. Pretty much got all of the afternoons handling runs right upto the little purple elise doing it's double spin at the end of the day!. Hopefully I can post some of these guys more triumphant drives to show they can really cut it...


...really miffed that we missed viding Andy F's runs - we were over in the car park when we saw it stream across the horizon and missed it the second time - went and stood for about an hour waiting for him but he never ran again :cry:

johnfelstead 22 May 2006 11:18 PM

LOL pretty sure you said you helped setup the course, but it's posible you were being vague and i didnt notice because it didnt matter.

Nothing particularly wrong with my setup at all, it works great on the road, there is just a limit on what a 205/50x16 tyre can do in the dry compared to a lower profile, larger footprint 18" tyre. I was happy with what i extracted out of the car in the wet, it was a lot of fun, you should have found that out for yourself too. ;)

The last wet run was very enjoyable, the dry runs were pretty pants as that showed up the weakness the stock tyre size posseses in that kind of environment. I was only 0.4s faster in the dry, so pants were my dry laps by comparison. :D

flynnstudio 22 May 2006 11:41 PM

Just out of curiosity John, what kind of speeds were you pulling through that course ?

Nice one John:)

I think it would be about 110MPH in the fastest spot at the end of the straight before the last corner, based on how long i was in 4th.

Do i get considered too? :D pwetty pwease?

ex-webby 23 May 2006 04:53 PM

Neil,

I'm a bit confused with your profile. :cry:

Not sure how you became the 2006 SSO handling Champion, as Dirk Hale won that trophy in my car?!? ;)

I also heard from someone else today that you had said you won this?!? Strange! :D

The official results for the Handling ShootOut Final (with the fastest lap giving the Shootout Handling Champion title) was as follows:

1st Dirk Hale 37.51
2nd Neil Wrenn 39.20
3rd Phil Royle 40.52

The interesting thing about these results, is that no one can say anything about the weather and conditions and who was running in what conditions etc for the previous QUALIFICATION times, as the conditions for the FINAL were the same for everyone. ;)

Regards,
Shaun.
