How it all began?

Post by RobCallow »

Looking through some old magazines I had stock piled I came across this in Evo magazine March 2003 Me and my Teg during a track taster session in Feb 2003 at Snetterton :D

This was my first taste of using my car on track and it the bug had well and truly bitten!!!

How about anyone else?

1990 something Brands Hatch
Never been back!!

First 'proper' track day in a prepared track day car was in the Sierra at Snetterton in 2001 I think. I still had it road legal at that stage, and life was simpler (and slower)

I can firmly lay my track addiction at the door of the 2 Stu's! After seeing you guy's chasing each other ( dastardly and mutley stylee ) for at least 10+ laps earlier in the year at Snett.
I foolishly thought "that would be fun!" Now look where it's got me! (forever poor).
That said, I wouldn't have it any other way! Bring on the 17th Jan :biggrinjester:
