Post by prolex-uk »

Teeside report

Travelled up to Middlesborough for the lastest round of the Toyota Sprint Series on the Friday. Nice uneventful trip up.

Saturday sampled the delights of Middlesborough

Nice vids but a long way to go for a sprint :o

You ought to get your name down for the North Pickenham sprint. Great fun. :)

Thinking about doing more sprints next year............

Bought a TRD Toyota Vitz (Yaris) 1.0 the other day........Its a NETZ cup car so has roll cage LSD TRD coilovers blah de blah weighs about 5 ounces so should be fun.............

Was a fooking long way but was a good laugh with plenty of laughs which is half the fun..........

I could have / should have done this to keep my championship fight going, but did a sprint at Lydden instead. I weighed it up & between a 6 hour drive or an hour ot Lydden it was a bit of a no brainer.

Great to see the glowing reports & pics on the TSS forum, plus your on board video too Dave, nice one.

Was a great track and challenge, but as said a long trek there and back.

Was disappointed by my result, last in class and 35 overall, but you cannot win them all, I lost confidence after a big " moment2 and never really got in to the track at all when it was wet.. :? :(

Still I got some points and there are a lot of developments in place ready for Woodbridge. :wink:

Cheers for letting us follow you to the hotel Dave, I was shattered...and would off probably got very lost!
