NSSCC & SMRC Races at Croft
Have had a good weekend at Croft, my son, Peter had two races in the Northern Sports & Saloons, and he allowed me to have my first two races in
the Scottish Sports & Saloons in his Honda Civic 1.6.
We came away with a pair of class wins each.   It's fair to say my class wins were somewhat easier than Pete's, my only
competition being a Mk1 Fiesta. Would love to say it was a Duratec powered 200bhp beast, but no, it was a well tuned 1.3  A beautiful car, built
for the Scottish Classic saloons.
There will be some vids about in the next few days, in the meantime, some pics.

What class are the two cars in the first pic, they look mental!!
I know the back car is an FTO what is the front red car?
Looked like a lot of fun and varied classes which always makes good viewing.
Get them Vids up!!
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

First pic is the red Lotus Elan of Mark Campbell, with the blue Marcos Mantis of Colin Simpson behind.
Yes, I love the variety.. much better than watching one make stuff.

I'm sorry the videos are not up yet, poor old Pete has been burning the midnight oil at work, I've hardly seen him since Sunday.
We borrowed a better on board camera on Sunday, I watched the footage last night, it's much better than our usual stuff, so worth waiting for.
Has to be said though, compared with Pete's, my start and opening laps look like I'm on my way to Asda. I didn't want to
damage the car, but perhaps I was a little over cautious.

My second race with SMRC

The soundtrack appears to have slipped on the Sunday race vids, not sure why..

I had several close encounters with the blue Ginetta, and had to avoid the red one too at one point.
Talking of mixed grids, I shared the grid with THIS
I think it's a dragster in disguise!

Think about it, think about it again and then do it.
