Well organised event. Sorry to mess up the first session for you all when my 306 GTI6 decided to throw the entire contents of its gearbox all over the track just before the pit entrance!! I only managed 2 laps but enjoyed watching the rest of the day from the pit area. Saw some pretty impressive drifting displays from the Vauxhall Carlton/Opel Monza boys - also managed to time a few cars - the fastest of which was the little red Sunbeam Lotus and the Silver 996 Carrera - I'm sure the fastest car out there was probably the white Lotus Carlton but never managed to time it on a clean lap.
Next time I'll take the Impreza as its clearly much more reliable than the troublesome Peugeot!! :x

What a fun day! :-D

A big thanks to the organisers and the people who gave up their free time to make yet another great event! :thumb:

More thanks to Jim & Son for the collection/filling of the Jerry cans, Jason for the pax laps and also to Steve for the loan of the tools.
My brother & brother in law have not stopped talking about their pax laps in the Golf!

It was good to meet Lee (Nice car, hope you get it fixed soon)

After wearing one of the tyres down to the belts on the edge. It was Gerry - who suggested adjusting the camber to take the wear away for the edges, using the top mounts....Good idea!!! This improved the problem that I was having due to under-steer (and crap tyres).

Another good event with Bigpower!! :D :D

may i suggest you corral a group of your superb staff in future so we can pick one each for pax laps? :-D

A really good day, wish I could've stayed longer and had a car there. Big thanks to Woody for letting me tear round for a bit in the Fez, it put a grin on my face for the rest of the day!
