..................anyone there yesterday? I was out on the 11.30am track session with a few scoobs, a Silver blob that had "300bhp+" on the bottom of the rear number plate and a Blue hawk which had a "perfected by racedynamix" sticker on the boot...anyone on here?

Mannnnnnnnnn was it slippery..

when i saw that blue hawk waiting to go out there was a young lady behind the wheel. It looked very slippery plenty of moments for the spectators to enjoy.
Did you see Phil Collins in his escort giving it plenty?

Yeh Phil can sure pedal that escort and the thing flys.

I was out on brandnew budget tyres that had barely covered 100 miles! never intended to go out(only because a mates car had broke) so left the track wheels at home.

The tyres had no grip at all, under braking trying to turn in, it just wanted to go straight on...Just couldnt get the power down it was that wet

The only fun i had was drifting coming out of Quarry.

The thing that made my day was the new exhaust setup, 87bd...no more bungs!

A few of us from Reading went, and managed to get on the simply Subaru club stand on the outside of Quarry, amazing spot and we could sit in ours cars in the dry while watching the action when it was absolutely chucking it down!!

Some of the old escorts were phenomenal!! Looked great in the wet to lol

I'll try and get my pics and videos up tonight or tomorrow.

Where did he lose his side skirt?

Wow i thought it was running a lot more power than that the way it was overtaking on the exit of Quarry, and on semi slicks is even more impressive in those conditions!!

Pics in my next post
