If anyone fancies watching me and Andrew (unijacko 67) are sprinting tomorrow at teeside. Hopefully it will stay dry! I'm car 47 and think Andrew is 48 if you want a chat

Dam, been wondering what to do tomorrow and only 5 minutes ago arrange to meet a mate in Seahouses for a boat-trip out to visit the Farne Islands. 14 year-old would probably have enjoyed coming to watch the sprinting more, but too late now !

Ho, hum, 2 hours each way with a bored teenager !

Regards
Jon

P. S. This evenings local weather forecast for tomorrow looked good, so I hope you enjoy it !

WI try and get there, good luck

Do you mean Teesside Autodrome?

Yes, Teeside autodrome. May pop over too, but got some stuff to do today first.

Well done Dan on your impressive 1st in class and 5th O/A.

Thanks Andrew. You were pretty impressive too considering we are 3 event novices! 3 straight class class for me now so the bubble will no doubt burst very soon

Some short video from today.

I got some on board footage but my lap top won't upload it. Might bring the sd card round to upload it

heres a clip of one of my less tidy runs at 45.09. 44.99 was my best time which took the class win. there was a problem on track so we were held in the paddock for ages so skip to 13 mins for action!
was struggling a bit with understeer as it was pretty slippy and bumpy!

Great video Dan, your car is absolutely planted compared to mine, but that’s understandable and it goes like the proverbial poo off a shovel, good drive!!!!!

It was under steering badly compared to normal. Especially round that last corner! Although I was hard on the throttle. Lol!

blimey, that shifts!

couldn't help but giggle at the nervous hand shuffling while you were waiting!

I'm a nervous character and was sat in the car for nearly 15 mins with it trying to boil itself,so was desperate to get away!
It wasn't my best run as my last was a 44.99@ 71.99 mph average! 3 of my 5 timed runs would have won class on my first visit to teeside on shagged tyres so was quite pleased to get my 3rd class win in a row! The car is a lot better than me although there was another radical in class with a 1400 busa which came 2nd or 3rd in class
