I'm now booked for Saturday - look forward to seeing all you guys there 
I'm aiming for about 0830, they usually have the drivers briefing around 0845. It's always a great day out, but an early start, I just
wish the circuit was 75 miles nearer........

Ok Mart, If there's traffic on the motorway at that time I will not be happy.
I wonder what time the Headington Mcd's opens?

was a good day, i left mid afternoon to get home at a sensible time. found the route of random engine cut out issue, a badly seated fuse (the main
battery 30a fuse). suddenly realised when i noticed the clock had reset back to 0:00!!
great day, see you all soon

Really enjoyable day, especially with so many familiar faces around, reckon we must do another one sometime this year.
My talent pot finally ran dry on the last session when I managed to throw it off the circuit twice, (once after the flag had dropped....) The only
damage and wounds were to my pride, so no harm done.
Had a bit of drama on the way back on the M25 when the trailer shredded a tyre, the flailing tread then attacked the wiring and blew the lighting fuse
on the towcar. Looked a bit of a disaster at first, but we managed to sort it all in about half an hour, pretty scary on the side of a busy motorway
though.
Anyway, hope all you long distance guys made it back ok,
Geoff.

Well, that was a fecking long day, not helped by the fact that I had a sudden compulsion to go to maidstone not once but twice on the way home.
Many thanks for Mark for sorting it all out, and everyone else for their advice. Strange looking at the pics my front suspension seems all over the
shop but it's the rear i'm not happy with.
Thanks once again, Dan

Good to meet everybody. Long day - started at 04:40 and ended at 20:45. That said, I am still buzzing.
Had a great time, good weather, a little BEC/CEC banter and a very good little track!
Dan - I was behind you when you reached the A249/M20 roundabout. You got away and when I went down the M20 slip road you were nowhere to be seen - I
guess that was trip one into Maidstone. What I want to know is how did you manage a second go round, and how did you get on navigating the county town
of Kent with that MASSIVE trailer on the back!?
Stuart - impressive first outing in the Zetec - peddling well! Looking forward to the video footage.
We must arrange another - anybody up for Abingdon Airfield with Motorsport Events. Not been before, but it is central, open pit and a lot closer to
home ?
Cheers

Looks a nice little track,passing on both the left and right allowed by the looks of things  ,you looked to be going well to catch and pass JUD
in the BEC,what engine have you got?,and did you get passed the elise with the big rear spoiler on,at the end of the video

yes you can pass on both sides and on corners, a bit scarey when your diving down the inside of a vauxhall senitor barge in a 7!!!
good little track, i'd certainly go again. Well suited to a BEC in my opinion, i was in the intermediate group and was keeping some very capable
cars honest (or at least i think i was!)

To be fair to Jud, he was two up, and (I think) shod on road tyres (as was Dan), so it wasn't a like for like comparison. I don't think
I'll be giving either of them too much trouble when they're shod on 888's or similar. Engine is a k-series, which for once lasted
the whole day.....

You are too kind Geoff
Yes it is true, I had 30 stone of Pure English Beef on board at the time!
Need to investigate some decent tyres - just about able to justify replacing them based on the current wear!
