It was open pit lane, later in the afternoon, after a couple of sessions. But it had quietened down a bit with fewer runners.

Both off-side tyres took a hammering on that track.

Liam, you need Jungle Jim for advise on posting up pics. He seems to be the resident expert 8)

I know what you mean Liam. I tend to give up easily if it doesn't work by the umpteenth attempt.

I used to find problems more easily when you had to use DOS. Now it's all done for you with plug & play, if it don't work, I haven't a clue where to start looking.

I know its a little delayed, but I thought that I would give my views.

Well, as an initial intro, the day was superb from right from the start.

Upon arrival there was already a good selection of around 40 cars gathering, everything from Lotus Carlton's,Big Singled Supras right through to Ultimas and Westys.

Whilst unloading and setting up, the cars continued to flow in to what must have been 60+ with a few additions from the exotic market such as a selection of Ferraris and Lamborghinis to mention a few. Fog was low as it had been on the Saturday but was clearing.

Keith Watson pressed forward with the driving brief of which I must say was very commendable. He did a great job organising the whole weekend with no detail being missed. Very enthusiatic guy and a great team with him.

After brief, the fog had lifted, so we then moved onto the first warm up session on road tyres to familiarise with the track.

After that session, came in to change rubber to softs.Carried on throughout the day, conditions getting warmer and warmer all the way up to 23c :-D The tyres started to get a little rolly as the rubber was getting very sticky, compound was a little to soft but never anticipated conditions this warm. Don't think it really helped when the Mad Monk pitched it into a 120mph powerslide going down the hill towards the left hander that runs onto the straight,holding it all the way round :-D with a passenger who has never been in an evo :twisted: needless to say, the chap said he loved every second of it, after he changed his pants

Towards the tailend of the day, their was still a good amount on track with only a few leaving due to technical failure, predominantly from the Ferrari and Lamborghini corner with the F40 blowing its turbo seals........................only a few weeks after they were previously rebuilt.......................and after he smashed the head light in the first session

The track closed at 5 with everybody commending Keith Watson and his team on how much of a great day had been had. I believe that the figure raised at around mid day was just over
