time. Usually a burger van for lunch there.

Interesting, may be able to get there for a look in the afternoon as footy is a morning activity. At the moment not being able to drive is a PITA as
I have to get lifts, but we'll see.

Will keep an eye out for you! Bring the whole family! There will no doubt be a few family spectators hanging around and there's lots of places
to explore for bored kids!

Ooh could I pop down with my little lad to watch for a couple of hours at some point in the day? (3yr old, appropriately restrained on his reins)
Doubt we'd be there before the 10am gates locked though.
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be...

Plenty of space to park along side road or by gate, its only a vehicular gate, place is full of dog walkers etc most of the time.
This is entrance.

See you there Loggy - it is a long time since you took the F27 video.
Now in red Eunos, Moss and MeisterR stickered.
Daughter has high hopes of another Ladies trophy.....
Weather's looking good 22C by 1600hrs - don't forget the sunscreen.
MattD won't accept bribes - tried that, didn't work!
Cheers, Pewe

Nice to meet you both.
Great day even if my daughter pushed me close at the end.
Car was largely unscathed apart from someone who we won't mention running up the bank on her final run and scuffing a rim - good job
they're reserved for Solos!
Guy who chopped in his class winning S2000 on Saturday and still won the class in his (almost) new Cayman was a brave person.
Till the next one.
Cheers, Pewe.
BTW Loggy did anyone post pics?

Pewe - Nice to catch up - very impressed with your daughter..... and her driving 
My bro and I were taking pics on his camera all day so no doubt he will get them uploaded over next few days. Keep an eye on the Autosolo facebook
page.
Colin - good to meet you and have a good natter - hope to see you at another event sometime.
Sorry Humbug, didn't get a change to speak to you (i dont think?)!

First pics up on the FDMC facebook page, not many though - I have chased my bro to upload his.
I started terribly with two wrong tests on the first course, giving me over a 30 second penalty. I put it down to being rusty as it's been a
few years since I last competed.
Course 2,3 and 4 went much better and managed to claw my way back to 2nd in class, only 0.5 sec from 1st. So my error cost me dearly!

Funny you should have wrong tested on the first two - I did exactly the same and as a result Alice beat me by two places!
Suppose I'll just have to concede I'm not as fast as I think I used to be.....
Cheers, Pewe

Great - thanks to your bro - some nice pics.
Had forgotten how tight the entry/exit to the loop was - can't imagine how the Cayman didn't hit any cones.
Cheers, Pewe
