Great day if a little damp
,
Good to see everyone and Robocog's legs after a marathon welding session in shorts
Shame our teammate blew it's diff.
Mark, Hope the cars ok apart from the rack.
As for the rest of the team, great job from Bob for standing on the wall for thankless hours and Conrod for belting about the pits (never seen the old
fella run before
), Oh and the drivers weren't that bad either.
Bring on next year, you never know mine might be done
ATB Dan.
not so much of the old
yup was a good day,cheers for the tea Dan and everyone else for the hours of entertainment
hi james,thanks for your help getting us in at short notice,sorry about confusion from me as i thought you were in our team you know the 2 zx9rs that
both finished with less than a minute on some laps,no gearbox problems no overheating,and after the race drove my car home good or what

Yes, thanks to everybody who helped out, really good day was had, if a little damp....
And here's what happens when you Mig in shorts.....

I wondered who the 'other' strange () guy was in shorts! I thought only our old man wore then in any weather....
Thats alomst 2nd degree burns you twonk!!! Next time you'll cover up I bet!?!
Sorry we never got to meet James - the only downside was the secrecy with regard to the red flag and allowance laps situation. The awards; I thought,
were a bit of a cop out. You cant really give an award without disclosing points... IMHO I thought this was a bit lame. I know we didn't do
particularly well but other teams who thought they may have done well seemed a bit disillusioned.
But all in all it ws such a brilliant day - we got down to the high 50's in the end... not too bad on a damp track!
Steve
That still hurts just looking at it
James, i feel it'll take longer to edit all those tapes than record them.
ATB Dan.
Only two things bent, my wallet and the rack, although I am not sure why that bent and everything else stayed straight.
Still a good day out watching though.
Cheers Mark

I thought robocogs tan on his legs was impressive but marks rack has now taken the number 1 spot.
I was getting more into the whole endurance thing when the rain stopped after lunch then the strikers diff went tits up, i agree with steve (hellfire)
the red flagged laps returned was a nightmare and hard to judge as people were back on track for a good 10 mins before the returned laps were marked
on the board.
All in all it was a fantastic day/event and great to catch up with the usual suspects, as allways i look forward to seeing you all again at another
meet/event.
I did notice chris masons team made an effort with the printed shirts, i dont seem to remember anyone else wearing a hat like chris's though.
Maybe it was just for team managers

the day...
Steve

wondered when that pic was gonna show up, i was warned by Conrod that it would be in the public domain before long
and to think i started the day with shoulder length hair, i now know why ron dennis looks like he does
Chris
....Ouch Helo Keith
The result should eventually end up on this site.

Chris, whats that hat you have on ?
Carver ? If the vid was running for the last session then you should catch us going under the leaning carver in the last session. We did have a camera
on board but the on off was out of our control.
Results ? They will probably appear on the GOME web site but not on there as yet, I'm pretty sure Tim's "damp" time sheet episode
put us well out the running, by the time it got handed to us it resembled something you would find causing a blockage in a U bend.......
The Red flag "additions" put us laps over in several sessions but the whole event was a great adventure and highly recommended.
i know what you mean about the sheet i held it out for steve to take and dropped it on the floor then we ran over it with back wheel heres a quote
from wadders "i didnt realise i was that wet till i felt the cold water on my balls"
I deffinatly enjoyed the day but i dint know if my brain would cope with another 4/5 hrs of pit control red flags laps returned and wet n dry.
i think i'll get carol vorderman to help next time
hi bob my bro-in-law came down and he was impressed with the build quality of the cars and couldnt believe the pace they were going , and he is a
proffesional driver having been a member of the austin healy club and now driving a formula sport 2000,and historic sport 2000 ,his track day car is a
bmw z4mtec and he saw me spin off at the esses !!!doh!!!

does that mean its a bit more than a fireblade ie is it turbo or nitro i couldnt take those lines at that speed he must be a pro driver that was my
first time on a track i was a bit nervous
I would say that jon and son are experianced lets just say they are proper drivers
It's a Fireblade engine and no it's not nitrous or turbo etc...

Just looked on the Carver webb site they are only £32000 or £44000 if you want the full options list,getting smoked by Jon's locost
blade,and I bet Jon was having a lot more fun by the looks of it
