i was on toyo tir's gerry
know what you are saying andy about the cones im so glad i done the shakedown sprint two weeks previous because i didnt have a clue where to go on my first run then and it certainly helped for today.

sorry to hear about the wagon andy , you got one more sprint out of it though i guess, will be awsome when its back up and running
Small one's are more juicy

Only 2 runners in D8 Gerry, neither of which I recognised. I'll try and dig a list out of the car. I think they were slower on the whole than B3.

I knew the wagon was on its last legs Trev but like you say could be quick with a little work.

I tell a lie!

D8

Jason Watkins M3 (the red one in Stus pic I think)

Paul Brown Escort RS (Mad fast yellow thing that pipped me by a tenth for 2nd FTD after it had dried up a bit)

That was it.

Coo, maybe would have stood a chance then, had I been there, with a car that works :D

Shame about the wagon but you were pushing your luck using it again, knowing it had a problem :o

Longcross is next on the calendar but already has a long reserve and I've just been offered a place at the first round of the BDC at Teeside in 2 weeks so need to focus on that for now (as my soon to be drifter is still without a tranny).

I'm sure you would have won D8 today.

Hmmm! Perhaps not then :D

It was nice and warm, at home, indoors, feet up, watching the GP, with a cuppa :D

But I was thinking of you all and suffering with you :^o :D
