I read the entry list and theres a few on track,but i wondered if any are going to watch if the weathers good of coarse!
A few people asked me to post a thread on here to remind them it was on so here it is.

We'll be there in the Indy. We now hopefully have a compliant exhaust can but won't know for sure until it's tested. Tried to book
when we knew the can would be fitted but all places gone with about 9 in reserve
Hopefully, some won't make it there and a few will be kicked off for being too loud and we'll get an afternoon session on track 
Fingers crossed.

if somebody wanted to sponsor me, or pay me on as a birthday present (check my profile) i'd be there on track too if there's a spare
reserve place, but as i'm skint, i'll be going to watch as long as the sun shines.

Apparently there is now spectators price... it's £5/car. Just in case your partner likes to raid your wallet, like mine does!

Your having a f**king laugh!? Pay to stand and watch on a cold, windy airfield!
Is this right? I was provisionally booked, but never got my arse (or car) sorted and paid. Thought about coming through for a look, but won't if
I have to pay....

According to one of the guys on here who booked in a block, you have to pay unless you turn up before 0900. They are stating extra facilites as the
reason for charging... I'm going anyway but obviously don't agree with it as I'm a Yorkshireman - and I have a car full of little
people to charge!!!

We were only spectators parked together and i didnt give permission for them to use it!!!!!!!!

and indeed it did roll on the rain.... absolute flood! at one point it felt like a lake with a few cones scattered about. I havent been that wet in
quite some time (and i went swimming last week! )
cant believe how much fun it was! i also thought that they were a very reasonable bunch of people running it.
did anyone see my car expire?! fuel stavation on the start corner knackered the fuel pump, so it died at the end of the straight what a pisser,
i had 25 litres in the van and had forgotten to fill it up! who was in the yellow 7 who ended up beside me?
fortunately i came in a recovery truck anyway, so it wasnt a problem.
Only one major spin, onto the grass (bent plate only) as i was just catching that green sierra in torrential rain. And my mate spun it on the first
corner he ever tried driving in a 7 lol.
awesome day, i just cant imagine how much more fun it will be on a dry day with good tyres

I managed 5 laps in the pi$$ing rain then aquaplaned into a 360 deg spin to the left then one to the right and couldn't get the car restarted
At that speed I can't have caught the clutch fast enough as the starter motor is buggered, never mind

Ahh, so that was you Joel. You should have come and introduced yourself. For some reason I was looking for a Red Locost like the one in your avatar.
Must admit it was a good day even though it was pi$$ing down all morning. Indy just scraped through static noise test at 104.4Db.
Didn't fancy going on track at first but what the hell, I was pi$$ wet through anyway

hi guys! i worked out who most of you were, and mookaloid pointed out the hellfire car, but it feels odd chatting to a bunch of strangers that you
feel like you know, but dont! next time i'll try harder, though i guess the crimbo dinner will be first anyway - are there any trackdays
elsewhere coming up? fella said that was it for elvington this year.
The red car in my avatar is only half finished, the blue one today was zilspeeds and brians old car went well actually, i was sure it would be
bodywork or wishbones that went first!

I was there all day Joel!
You could have come to see me, I wouldn't have charged you (much)
I didn't realise it was you either
Cheers

Joel who?
I was in a world of my own all day, sodding rain! Went for a spin (literally) with Tony later on but it was a bit of a bugger having the water going
up the sleeve of my coat!
Lost my voice now, I know, probably not a bad thing.
Cheers
Chris
