Jon Ison - 21/9/10 at 07:25 AM

I know Paul is going, anyone else from here, weather forecast is very good.....

Andy D - 21/9/10 at 08:04 AM

Weather is looking to be positively warm!

Have a good day.

you mistakenly posted the words 'weather forecast' and 'Cadwell Park' in the same sentence. Silly schoolboy error. We all know there is a micro climate there that means what is happening 1 mile away has no bearing on track weather.

EDIT: whats happening there, is it a track day?

Yes a trackday, the weather is going to be , just finished loading up, see you there Jon.

How'd it go?

Jon Ison - 23/9/10 at 02:36 PM

Weather absolutely fantastic.

Great day until 10 mins before closing..........

Went out at 3.30 lapped non stop for over an hour, big mistake, oil catch tank filled and spat its contents onto left rear, the rest is history.

Prior to that was very happy, lesson learned don't run at 10k revs for over an hour without checking your catch tank level, one mod aside from new front end is return from catch tank to sump.

Its not that bad, chassis is ok, nose cone, rad, oil cooler gone, left front suspension gone, steering rack gone, engine seems ok, steering column uj's did a great job as whilst the rack came back the wheel never moved, oh woke up with 2 very slight black eyes due to the sudden stop

Andy D - 23/9/10 at 03:12 PM

Oh hell, it sounds like a biggie.. where did you go off?

balidey - 23/9/10 at 10:12 PM

Oh crap. Sorry to hear that.

PAUL FISHER - 27/9/10 at 04:17 PM

I will be sad to see it go,but
ive had it 2 years Andy, its been a great car, but time to move on, looking forward to getting the TVR on track now, I know its not going to be as quick, but should be a very different driving experience, Ive got a set of wheels and R888's coming for the Chimaera, putting some Avo coilovers on it this week, and some brake pads and braided lines, and I will be ready to go

There was a nice yellow Mini Race car Mark, I did not come across him on track, but was watching him going round from the side of the track, sounded superb "supercharged", looked very quick, and well driven

tul214 - 28/9/10 at 06:34 PM

Yes,

He races in the Time Attack series.

His in car footage 'looks' quick but I didn't see any of you guys in his footage.
