Jon, pretty much 
Only jokin, ive just spent about a Grand on Camcorder and bits, paid the dreaded Car Insurance, Car Tax, and Servicing all in the last 30 days.
I will bring my Camcorder and bits, so i can wire it upto your car for a bit of footage. Its really nifty you can put it anyware on the car, just with a bit of spounge and blacktape.
nice to see your rejoining us Trackies

I know when i spun off last year, i only went back to donnington 8 months later in November at the SIDC day, I was so careful, I will never do Craner flat again, i may lose a couple of seconds, but rather that than the gravel.
It is quite unnerving at first but after a few laps you tend to concentrate more on your lines rather than spinning off.
I guess it is in sessions right, which session are you in, i forgot to ask ?
The Bullet camera is superb, i have tried wing mirror cam and front grill cam, both of which give excellent pictures.
Hopefully someone is sorting me out a decent mounting bracket, so i can securely fasten it to the rear arch etc.

hi guys
i am thinking about doing this donnington on the 10 of feb. will be driving with a friend of mine all the way from Dundee on saturday. is there any hotels near by that you recommend?
we would rather stay in nottingham for the saturday night so we can maybe socialise with the locals.
any one leaving from nottingham on sunday morning is kind enough to show us the way to the track
sam
ps i have only done donnington once before in my scoob and i thought it was brilliant.

hi type R
the moat house will be ideal as i have stayed there before when i did donnington last.
this will also be great just in case the track gets cancelled and we only end up enjoying the social aspect

Sam,
Glad yor coming down again, I still remember our "off roading" around Donnington last year.
Should be able to make the trackday but not sure about the night out yet. I'm sure salsa-king and co will be down Notts on Saturday night though.

so are you taking your car on the track this time? your valuable co driving was much appreciated last time
sam
ps my evo is even more twitchy than my subaru, so side way and rallying will definitely be on the menu until i get to know the track.

I'll try to pop down for a while in the morning. I'm out in the afternoon but give me chance to waste some film in my new camera.
Crappy blured pic of your car anyone?

Weird you go to www.trackzone.co.uk and get Bookatrack.com. They have a day on the 18th Feb @ Dono.
Anyway I'm booked up for the 10th. The format of the day is 2 x 30min sessions per hour, incase anybody was interested. So far 55cars have booked
It should be good as it will the first time I get my new racecer out on track, so no laughing Matt.
