Great day at Donnington today, excellent Scoob presence, weather stayed dry, even though it was freezing cold.
I was too much of a wuss
to take my car on track, so thought I'd take a few photos instead. 
Apologies for the poor quality of the pics, but I accidently left the digi camera on its lowest resolution/quality.
Arrived there, and was quite embarressed as my car was the dirtiest of all the 35 or so Subarus...
...this was soon changed however by a certain Green MY98
Didn't see JohnF's Westie on track, can only assume it had problems
... hope it's nothing too serious.
I think John had some competition for the 'speed freak' title today, from another Westifield... this time powered by a 5.0 TVR V8. - Seen here chasing a full race spec Escort Cosworth
AND IT KEPT UP!!!!!!
A few more pics:
Flamin' Evos
Nice...
Scoobysport RA
Scoobymania type-r
Awesome fire breathing R33
3 door VS 22B
I'll have one of those too please
oops
Got a loads more pics, may post a few more if/when I can be bothered

Is the Terzo yours? I nearly bought one....Hope you guys had a good time and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the pics. I'll try to make the next track day.
Did they let you guys go round the Melbourne loop??
oops guess it is yours, I posted before I'd seen the bottom of the post.

I had an excellent day.
Took me most of the day to get used to the car and track, couldn't keep up will the scoob's on the bends but none of yer could keep with me on the straight's, so when i get some AP's you'll all be seeing the back end of a MK II.
Had some fun on the last session a bit of sideways actions coming onto pitt straight, anyone get any photo's

Rich
If you could I would be most grateful. God bless you and all that sail with you.
Some other memorable moments from the day.
1. 1st lap of the first session, Doc Jock falling out with some grass and then cool as a cucumber, placing the car back on the track for some action
2. The awesome tussle’s I had with the Rik from PowerStation, the best session of the day when I over took you, you then over took me (bloody Evo 5), then I got the tail from the ballistic Westie and overtook you again. Awesome M8.
3. The Comma Racing spec Cossey overtaking me like I was in reverse.
4. My brake fading 6 pot Tarox brakes that were ok until my rear caliper decided to spit out one of the pads at the top of the start finish straight, no brakes, F**k, spin, grass, Phew, Fing Tarox.
5. The racing Vauxhall that span behind me, all because he struggled to keep up
6. The Howl of Petes Ra, the thunder of the Scoobymania Type R, the colour of Stefs Car, he he
7. Poor John's Westie, Hope you sort out that Turbo.
8. Putting faces to names, SDB, Harj, John F, Rich R, The RA lads.
What a top day!!!
Edit: PS apologies to the chap I cut up on the last session of the day, my brakes decided they had had enough, Fing Tarox;, I apologised after

Dingy,
Is yours the white MK11 Escort with very loud dump valve? If so may have some shots. Took a couple of reels but not had them developed yet, I'll let you now.
Cheers
Lee

White MK II yes.
DUMP VALVE, no way through it away, the only noise is the wastegate chatter, Not many big HP RS boys run dump valves.
Let us know about the piccies, as our camera messed up so we don't have any piccies

SimonM,
I was not the passenger when the Westie had a little moment! THANK GOD!!!! The track may have been closed for hours due to the mess
It was fantastic chasing the Comma Cossie through Craners!
Cheers,
Jon

Chris Twigger was the passenger.
Hilarious sight.
He looked like a "before and after" photo... his left side was covered in mud, from waist to hair, his right side was perfectly clean

Anyone ever heard of a cooling down lap, eh richard??
We could allways go ***** out till the pit entrance, but you wont have much left of a 22B to drive when you come over!!
will know the score re my turbo this weekend, would you believe the guy who made it for me was with Gareth LLoyd in the Escort Cossie, he sponsors the car
He recons my exhaust impellor blades have got so hot they expanded and hit the housing, causing them to break off.
Heat, in my car, surely not!!! LOL

As a side note, the green westie has 380BHP.
I have built some 450BHP rover V8's and the only way to do that is to use Wildcat Engineering cylinder heads. Honest Gov, i know rovers like the back of my hand.
I'll eat that thing for breakfast when i have my chargecooler system installed, i kid you not!! LOL

Jon... they'll have to catch me first
Dingy,
Does your car look anything like this:
...or this:
Pete... It was pretty spectacular, but like all the good moments the camera was turned off , so I only got this:
John... hope all is well soon... but that must count as another melting to add to the world record attempt
Look forward to seeing the new chargecooled Westie next summer!

Sadly the little green westie had to call it a day soon after taking to the grass. What a MONSTER.... It was giving John Felstead idea's. Not that he needs much help!
Was a totaly good day, nice COLD dry weather. Just right for a track day.
Thanks to everybody that I blagged rides from. DocJock, stonking brakes, Chucky, I thought you drove really well for only your second or third track day, Tim W. those tyres are only going to get better.
Dan
P.S. Mr.Squires, if your going to let that Harj bloke drove you motor, get him to have some driving lessons...... It felt like it was going backwards. Everything was going past us!!!

Yeah.. Probably because of the latest DMD chip I've had installed in all the team drivers heads..
OH DMD = Driving Miss Daisy
Thankfully, it was much in evidence this weekend rallying up in Canada on lottsa snow and ice.

My spec is basically a grp IV spec car, minus the tarmac arches, running a 405bhp / 410Ib Torque cossie lump, T5 Box.
The engine was Built by Harvey Gibbs, usually stuff, WRC spec head gasket / bolts, lightned bottem en, grp A head, wild cams, t34 Hybrid rs500 intercooler, water injection, Ahmed Bajoo Chip, Mongoose exhaust.
I do need some brakes though, so the 6pot AP's are on order, and possible some 4 pots for the rear, depends on the cash flow,
Simon, cheers for the piccies
I have joined the SIDC too so i guess you'll be seeing alot more of me!!

i must have had a remap Richard, because i had it well sideways trying to take the old hairpin in 5th, and no, it doesnt work LOL
I gave an American chap from virginia a run he wont ever forget i think, he was a little shocked when i accelerated hard after the left kink of craner towards the old hairpin.
He had never been on track or in an Impreza Turbo, he owns an Impreza RS in the USA. Picked an awesome car for his first ever run, doesnt come much better than a 22B.

john..
Great I was hoping that he'd manage to get there and get into the 22B..
Nice One..
Richard..
Not sure about the "re-map" though, just be careful that you don't start detting or blow a head casket...

I agree, when I go to a non-SIDC event I would much rather be out playing with non-Scoobs.
Luckily I could as I was doing charity laps, but I think it was a pre-arranged thing.
In the future, they'll hopefull just stick to grouping the cars by driver experience. Much more fun!
