Thumbs up

.....well i'm hooked, when's the next one

Did the 2 SIDC sessions at trax 2003 - 11 am & 3.20 pm, best fun ive had in the scoob yet

Only downer is my vacum hose between my dawes device and inlet manifold split on the last two laps causing me to overboost all over the gaf, so if you passed a silver classic limping that was me

I was also impressed how my UK kept up with a few classic STi's, I even overtook a P1 at one time

roll on the next one

My first time on track today too

Had a great time, shame it was over so quick, but then my car is still fine

Had no brakes most of the way round, so sorry if I held anyone up going into the coners, and I did let everyone through who I thought needed letting through

I was catching people up, and could have overtaken again at several points but decided against it, as I would have held them up braking into the corners

Still a very enjoyable time on track, and day overall

Lap time allegedly 2m 55s, but I wasnt timing it

My brakes were juddering before the pace car had gone in hahaha. They juddered less as the time went on, but they also worked less

The pads and discs were just about shot and i knew this would finish them off, time for some nice new ones
