Hmm, Shell petrol looks to be about 5M towards Norwich from the circuit. Think I'll try Newmarket Rd in Bury on the way instead. Anyone know how snarled up the A14 Bury then A134 Thetford is at 4ish?

A134 will be fine at that time but surely the A11 is the quickest route from the Cambridge area? .....I know Elveden can be a bit of a mare but even so the mileage you save would make it worthwhile going to the Attleborough Shell station, which is probably cheaper anyway

Another thanks to the BP crew for a top event, I had a blast and the little Honda felt the best ever after much needed geometry work and testing higher tyre pressures than I'd used before. Useful chat with the Toyo chap too, thanks

Didn't help with power though

so I hope I wasn't too much of a mobile chicane for you faster guys!

Cheers,
Alex

Great evening, thanks to all involved

More thanks to mattr34, datsun des, andy, maff, the guys with the 300zx and fast eddy for helping/lending me wheels etc to get me home. Considering I have 4 different wheel sizes, it drives pretty straight :lol:

A huge thank you to Stuart and the rest of the BP team for organising this event tonight.

As this was my first track event and with a car new to me I had a ball, so much fun and cant wait for the next one

The old Vectra done me well although the lack of power compared to our Subaru was a bit anoying at times, now I have just got decide wether to keep the Vectra or get somethign else a bit smaller and a bit quicker?? so I can get past a certain woman in a black MR2 :lol:

Thanks to Duncan for the advise given, and yes mate I think I have got the bug now
