Ive got a spout but on it's last outing more petrol ended up on the floor than in the tank!

Also got a compressor if anyone needs it?

 

[Stu.]

Ive got my wheels and a jerry can of petrol ready, and a small tub of sockets etc. Ill have a funnel with me if i remember to get it out the garage...lol just hope the weather is semi decent. my tyres will be gash in the wet lol

 

[renclio]

Is this gonna be an all day thing or just a few hours ? Just wondering if it's worth going up if it's only gonna be on till like 1.

Track is open from 9-5 with an hour closed for lunch. So will be plenty of track action.

 

[Evil Ally]

See you all tomorrow I'll be in an inferno 182. Oh aye, I'll have a leccy compressor if anyone wants a shot.

 

[Stu_182]

Was awesome. Weather just got wilder and wilder. Horizontal rain, gale force winds (That up ended a tree blocking the road home) but was still a hoot.

 

[Missing Link]

I tried watching it on the webcam............ Even it was shaking........

[Gaz85]

[Stu.]

One of the seat trailers got blown back into the posts at the cafe where you register! was deffinately a quallity day though!

 

[Whiskerz16v]

Rain sports, spare pads and a low jack

 

[Craig.H]

Well it was fun while it lasted......dam injectors! :dapprove:

Was good meeting alot of you!

Pictures?

 

[Adam.]

Good day .

Good to meet some of you guys!

 

[Stu_182]

I came up and watched but from inside my car the weather was just too mad!

Enjoyed watching you guys especially the bluey/green ph1 172 and racing blue 200 they were bumper to bumperfor quite a few laps.

 

[BioHzrd]

Kris was grabbing some shot while i was out in the R26 for tuition so i have around maybe 100 or so of folk on the main straight hair pin area.

Was good to chat with those i got the chance to prob see a couple of you at FCS in a couple of weeks.

 

[Cupman29]

It was a good day but the weather was shocking.

Got a few good laps in just before lunch then my alternator tensioner decided to break so after a couple of pikey fixes that didn't work it was game over.

Good to see you all!

[scottiebhoy]

Was a great day, despite the weather. Some really nice cars and good to meet everyone. Looking forward to seeing some pics, try get ones ive got up too.

Shame it took near 3 hours to get home with the Bridge being shut though!

 

[Cupman29]

Took me an hour and half to get there, thought that was bad but then took 4 hours to get home. My arse was killing me in that damn evolution seat!

Was having so much fun I forgot to take any pics.

 

[Craig.H]

The lack of pics is unfortunate, not that my car was out for long! And anyone who did get any pics would have had to have been very brave/stupid in that weather!

 

[Missing Link]

Who got a run in the new models and did anybody get the track tuition ?

 

[Stu.]

quality day even if the weather was shite! was good to meet new faces and was good banter! only took me 15 mins to get home too, bonus

Who got a run in the new models and did anybody get the track tuition ?

Most folk i think were out in the new cars, i got out in the 200 and then the megane for tuition, was very impressed with them both :approve:

dont think many were crazy enough to brave the mad weather for pics!

 

[.GAZ.]

I hear Noddie got some abuse at the Shell garage, off a trucker!!

 

[Adam.]

9am on the dot!!! haha.

 

[N0ddie]

Lol. I was wondering who was tooting at who until I seen ye hanging oot yer window.

9am on the dot!!! haha.

Lol. Love that pic.

I was rather keen to get out on track.

 

[Craig.H]

Ha ha, good effort being first out! That's dedication! Your 200 is perfect mate, just as I would have one!

 

[Stu.]

Did anyone actually get any pics or vids from the day? or was the weather really that bad
