I just wanted to say, a big thank you to everyone who came to the track day, to Nick of xtreme photography, and to Richard and his team at Blyton
Park, you all made it a great day.
Plus, the day raised over £1100, for The Showman's Children's Charity, which is massively appreciated.
I'm starting to look into organising another day in September, it's looking like I'll be Friday 19th September, I'll let you
all know once it's confirmed.
it was a great day allround. there was some interesting cars there too. i really liked the look of rdodger's thruxton. frank and the ppc guys
once again did a cracking job too! as did richard and the catering staff
the locostbuilders are some of the nicest,most helpful,decent guys ive ever met on a circuit and most are very quick on limited budgets. thats the way
it should be special thanks to steve who sorted my brakes out and jon ison for my new speedo!
one of my favourite track days ever i think!
Small video from Blyton with the three Kittens on track at the same time, Just see how fast froggy becomes a mere dot in the distance from the start
line. It was good to watch from my car as you could see froggy's wheels spinning up even on the straights as he was running an open diff
(seriously fast car) as is Ian's as both cars where not running at max power, then the session was red flagged as there was a small car fire. I
had a run out later behind Ian, but only for a lap as I forgot to fill up with petrol and just managed to get to the pit before completely running
out, Good to meet up.
seems like you were well on pace there jacko and could have gone a bit faster with a clear track?
probably the fastest 3 kittens ever in one place at the same time!
I was only keeping up cos I had my slicks on (well AO48 as Ive looked again) and could catch up on the corners, the other two cars had road tyres I
think.
My first video rendered & uploaded, takes bloody forever in 1080p HD…
Nothing really ground breaking, this is just me marking/ following Grayme Lidster (laptoprobs mate) in his Tiger 2.0 16v Turbo C20LET (blue one), and
in front of him, is a Tiger 1800 Zetec I think… before I get by
Full screen, speakers on, change quality to 1080p HD
OK second video is live, a little more interesting than the first (imo)
Just marking Andrew for him as he asked for some footage for a few laps… after we passed the Astra MK3 with the Saab Turbo engine, Andrew had some
difficulties with some gears heading into Bishops.
Again, speakers up, change quality over to 1080p and full screen it baby!

I found it strange that folks associated my car with an enquiry about their health. I ask if they want a drive/ride and they reply to a question I
didn't ask: "It's OK. I'm fine..."
LOL Owelly - I never even got asked you cheeky mare!
OK, so now we're getting serious, mid afternoon it seemed a chunk of people either had gone home, or just simply wasn't on track, so I
went out as a lone-ranger and decided to fly solo having warmed my tyres up a little (albeit still not enough)
First time on my own of the day - had passengers the rest of the time - added a stopwatch to these 5 fast laps, and I'm incredibly happy with my
'1m 9.250sec' time… considering I thought I was quick last time with a bent upright doing 1m 14s laps
Using 6th gear more regular, aswell as staying in 4th through Bunga Bunga & Bishops (thanks to a passenger lap with Jon Ison)
You know the drill, full screen, speakers up, change quality to 1080p… and enjoy

Cheers Andy - it felt very dialled and planted again which was nice.
I thought 1:09.250 was my fastest lap, but just uploading the video of Me, Jon Ison & adithorp having a play, and when I had the IsonBusa behind
me I managed a 1:09.000… the pressure!
special thanks to steve who sorted my brakes out and jon ison for my new speedo!
