No, it must have been one of the quickest cars there though. GSX1000 engine, fitted the night before apparrently. It stopped on the circuit, but I dont think it was a big bang, probably an electrical gremlin..

Paul, you missed a good un, after all the thunder and rain through the night, it cleared up smashing! Dry as a bone from about ten onwards.

eccsmk - 28/5/08 at 10:10 PM

ooh i dont know i was sat right when it rattled like a bean can
altho he really was absolutely thrashing the poor thing
good man

Oh, I didn't hear it running, just had a quick look when he came in. There was not gaping holes in the crankcase.

Silver car in question..




And this was quite in teresting...


matt.c - 28/5/08 at 10:22 PM

I need to see a video of that in action!!

Andy D - 28/5/08 at 10:24 PM

A few more pics..














Rob Bartley - 29/5/08 at 07:25 AM

Couldn't make it as car isn't quite up to scratch yet BUT i did think it would be lashing it down anyway. BUGGER!! looks like it was a cracker

Andy, was it busy coz the pics make it look like it was?

Jubal - 29/5/08 at 07:43 AM

No, not busy at all. The odd car here and there a bit slow to pull over, but no major problems. No queuing to get out either! Got some good "matey" chase sessions going, if you know what I mean..



Aye, Jubal, you missed a good un!

Don't rub it in I've missed a lot of good track time so far this year. But only a couple of weeks to wait now.

PAUL FISHER - 29/5/08 at 03:17 PM

Found it too, mooching for new vids! That corner (Hairpin) was lethal first thing, when it was damp. Saw a couple of spinners there.

This chap had a bit of a moment there, dont think it was damp though..




Anyone on here?

eccsmk - 29/5/08 at 10:34 PM

good pics!!
that twin engined machine was fairly quick in a straight line
from a spectator point of view i have to say the westfields andy d included were great lots and lots of passing etc
and i did enjoy watching that white evo the owner was obviously not shy
im looking forward to watching the action at bruntingthorpe

Andy D - 30/5/08 at 10:31 AM

My son is taking his time with his video epic, so in the mean time, here's a couple of clips I've stuck on Photobucket.

It's all one session split into two parts. (Which overlap a little)

Part 1

Part 2

Andy D - 30/5/08 at 04:01 PM

Another video clip, being chased / chasing a pal in a Duratec engined Westy.

Clickety click

Andy D - 31/5/08 at 08:01 AM

And now I give you, the long overdue epic from Pete!

PINTOSAURUS!!

Jubal - 31/5/08 at 06:51 PM
