Yea running at NW on Sunday on the ESL 97/8 demo (refreshed blue wagon). First time out so using it as a shakedown. What car have you got now Logan? What are you up to these days Russell?

Not bad, 2nd FTD. Was FTD until it dried and Duncan Cowper got me.

Not too bad losing to him though, eh?

Great result Andy.

Nice video

Reminds how shitty North Weald is

Reminds me how much I liked looning about there in the M3

Reminds me that you are better at grip driving than drift driving

Car looks quick mate. Nice and smooth too!

Looking quick Andy, still the red wagon?
What sort of time did you run?
I believe there was a "new face" out in a scoobie in your class who came second behind you... Rumours are an Ex Ten Of The Best car doing the B19 Championship this year, maybe some competition for Mr Black

I'm at North Weald on 3/4 for Sevenoaks sprint, should be fun as it'll be my first MSA sprint since 2009

Lol I didn't think I was that bad at drifting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBgWavmRJyg

The car was a major handful though, spat me off three times so I only got 2 timed runs in. The knocking sound on the vid which we assumed was the exhaust turned out to be loose shock top nuts which might not have helped. Its very hard to catch it on the return swing:

The car is the Blue Wagon ESL Demo 97/8 car built by Ren (ex StanS). We did a 79 in the dry and 83 in the wet. Loads more to come though, the car is 1300kg and I had to miss daisy it to get a run in.

Justin Andrews and his TOTB Scoob was quick, came 2nd in my class and I think managed 7th FTD (leaving the legend that is John Start in 3rd, though not by much!)
