Gutted for you mate but glad you seem ok. First time i went to Oulton it was wet and i came in one lap with grass all down one side and the missus shut me down. Lots of mishaps that day as circuit is very challenging. Hope you get back out soon.

Duncan,

after the euthoria and excitement Sat evening, we were really disappointed for you yesterday.
But in motorsport these things can and do happen, and looking at the outcome of some of the other cars, you escaped with comparitively minor damage. Small consolation I know, but......

At least now you can say you have overtook Mike!

and Sam Kerr :D

Fekking stiff neck this morning, can hardly turn it - not much of a surprise really.

Thanks for the offer of help guys.

I managed to buy a std OE ball joint from the stealer yesterday and a track rod end from a cheap parts place but I need to replace it with the Whiteline Roll Centre adjusted ball joint and whiteline extended track rod one that were on there.

I still have my old brake discs that will go on there today to get it up to the meet on wednesday.

We still havent sorted ours from my shunt head on into tyres. Dent wing, bonnet and scrapes. Just put stickers over it!
Ditto, still got wing damage from KH last year, stickers are great :lol:

Bad luck Dunc, glad you're ok though, I came off in a similar place later on, its lethal in the wet there, made more difficult by the undulations, so when you think you've caught the slide the track drops away and makes it worse.

Hope its all sorted for next round.
