Couldn't agree more! Doesn't bother me to come last, someone has to

Gerry was quick today and dipped into the 65sec bracket, only to be penalised later on, but he was easily second quickest in the modifieds.

My best was 66.2 which got me a gong for 3rd in a big roadgoing class behind Kim in the Evo7 (uncatchable today) and just behind the Quenbys. One of the GT3s was sidelined by gearbox failure and John Start had put his wet weather T1Rs on but it didnt rain until the awards ceremony!

I still dont feel I have quite got the hang of Debden even though I've been there twice now.

After a bit of scrubbing and a few heat cycles the RE070s were working better for me. Kim noticed that the date code on them was 2003 and suspects their age may be affecting their performance. Looking forward to trying them at Cadwell tomorrow.

OE off an STi2003! After 2004 the wheels dont fit and apparently there isn't an official distributor for them in the UK???

Congratulations Andy. Third is a good result in your class, there were some fast runners today. What happened to the purple Porche that was leading early on?

I didn't get a chance to say cheerio, the rain was absolutely torrential during and after the awards as you well know.

Nice one lads, well done Andy for a third! Was thinking about you, as I wanted to be there in the thick of it :!:

The Porsche was one of the Queenby cars, it came second in class. The Qenby Subaru was middle of the class this time I think.

I left after getting the award as wasnt sure I'd get out if I left it any longer. Insane rain!

You were missed Logan, plenty of peeps talking about you though, hadnt realised you had actually put it on its roof!

Andy - there are lots of places to get RE070's - I got one same day from Cambridge Performance Tyres, Kingway Tyres have them as do blackcircle iirc.

I have no info

No idea on what time briefing is, or signing on - I have emailed EasyTrack but no response.

I am aiming to get there at 8am latest as I am guessing 8.30 for the drivers briefing.

I have never done an EasyTrack day before so dont know whether they have arrangements for late briefings or what so ... sorry I cant help.
