I am still up for this as I have booked a day off work. Unfortunately I have jury service starting a few days before so may have to try and book the week before subject to places being left.

"Guilty your Honour".............. sorted and your free for the track day.

Or am I not taking social and civil responsibility seriously enough?

Yeah, great day.

Sorry I didn't chat to more of you. There was some lovely 44s on track, shame I was the only 24 and no 68s.

Now I've got to work out how to adjust the rear camber as a massive spin has knocked mine out to the point where my n/s rear road wheel fouls on the arch. It was always tight but has never fouled so something has broken or been forced out of alignment by said 80mph un-held drift (spin :mrgreen: ).

Nothing too exciting. Didn't catch my big spin as the battery had ran out. A reasonably fast slide at 3:50 though.

Ellerslie, sorry mate we didn't catch up and have a chat, the 24' goes well though :D

I am sure it would be a good idea at these meets to have car name badge with your forum name on in the windscreen?

Great day thanks to all that made it along, there is serious talk of another this year?
But an annual outing for the calendar for sure!

If there is another at Bedford later in the year I would be up for it. This one was too close to the big annual spend on the car (service/mot/tax and insurance) Ouch!

Yeah, saw him coming so no great drama. He was black flagged for that I think.

Good footage but would be so much better without the Opie Dangly thing blocking the view of the track :D

That looks like lots of fun. Must get that fast road cam too.
