Nice meeting some of you guys today, some interesting cars you have there too! Thanks TimR26 for the entry ticket and also the demist cloth, a nice touch. Hope to see some of you at a trackday before long.

Hope we get some dry weather tomorrow!

I was thinking to get there nice an early to make it easier getting in, since I'm only 20mins from the circuit. Is anyone else aiming to be there for 8am or will I be first on the stand? I'll have my hat in case I go for a session :up:

Andy said they have a lot of work to catch up on, but if the car is left with them they can spend more time on it Inbetween other things. Especially for cold starting etc. Hope all goes well, keep us updated !

Hi, just joined this forum and read all through your build thread, a cracking read !! Excuse my ignorance but how exactly does the whiteline ARB improve the handling? My 172 cup is standard at present.
