Firstly, a hooooooooge thanks to Frank for organising it, and inviting us all to join in such a fantastic day.
From start to finish, nothing but good atmosphere in the Paddock, fantastic etiquette on track, good times, great slides, lots of laughs and even
better (adithorp) tank slapper.
Really enjoyed the warm welcome considering I'm a newbie to this event - already looking forward to the next outing.
Great meeting new faces, putting names & usernames to them… sorry Ian, I just couldn't call you 'Oddified' in real life, felt
strange.
I'll be putting my photos in here, along with my video footage. Yes Adi, including the last tussle between Jon Ison, You & I.
May I just announce, I hearby declare this is the first track day since kit car ownership started in 2012, that my car has come home, running,
working, all wheels pointing the correct direction ever. Very happy Olly.
Looking forward to seeing other peoples footage, and reading their take on (what I thought) was a fantastic day.
Cheers all
PS: this update was brought to you by 7 espressos, 2 litres of Redbull, 5 ProPlus, 2 Twix bars, and a Jacket Potatoe @ Lunch (cheers Steve!)…. I was
dying of manflu 24 hours ago!
Ditto opening line, superb effort by Frank, thank you.
Pretty much echo the above, saw absolutely zero dick head driving from anyone, (aside from the dummy I was sold at the chicane superbly friendly
day, bit on the cold side mind, I too look forward to seeing the tank slapper when I came back around the tarmac looked like 27 F1 cars had been doing
donuts so it must have been a good one, I caught a glimpse in my mirror (snigger) but thought it was just a standard "little incident"
apparently not ?
All in superb day, glad I could be of a little assistance with the non conformist lines around a few of the bendy bits.

I had an eventful day.
Started of with first drive with a rebuilt engine and playing with the fueling cheking for leaks. All looked good.
That was until I hit a cone and took off one corner splitter, bent my under-tray and cracked the o/s side pod.
Then next run I let the Ison by and switching back onto the line lost the rear end... no biggy just a bit of grass. 1/2 lap later the temp is rising
and I've got steam Pull over as the temp rockets and get towed back. Fortunatly the session was already red flagged as someone had spun and
stalled... on my anti-freeze! Back in the paddock and I find a split hose. A trip into Gainsborough and I had a substitute and was back running after
dinner... cautiously.
All looking good after so back to mapping/testing.
Then Jon and Yellow cab say they're going out for a play so I joined in and finished the day by signing my name on the track in rubber.
Thanks to Frank for organising and those who searched there kit for hose and those who persuaded me to go and find some rather than packing up and
going home.
OK so here are some screen grabs from my GoPro footage for now - kinda sums up the day… tried to capture as many LCBers as possible, but never seem to
be out at the same time as Daniel Mason or laptoprob
Trying to brake, and turn using these guys in front of you just simply doesn't work
As above… this blue cone is just a figment of your

Is this the way to Amerillo?
This is what warp speed looks like in the IsonBusa, there are 15 cars in this photo, but we're going so quick you cannae see em

Precision driving, didn't even touch the cone (this time lol)
And the finalé goes to adithorp (tank slapper trophy winner), who didn't really know which way he wanted to go… I was travelling at 115mph on
the first screen shot… and the rest are in sequence

Also Guilty. If you squint, you can see the coolant spraying out the back from my split hose and onto the rears tyres. I think was the cause as it was
twitchy on the next lap (until the temp went up and I stopped). My puddle was probably what caught out the Clio and probably the Probe (?) at the
chicane.
anyone manage any rough idea on lap times via youtube go/pro?
from my footage on the soft but very old tyres its saying anywhere between 66-69secs on a clear circuit. and the sprint circuit (start line to exit
of last corner 69secs (without a launching start) on the only video i have!
