And am still open to more offers suggestions. I have this Rockingham one, Lydden on 2nd Aug if my mate sorts his MX5.
I cant do woodbridge on 12th as I need to actually get my car mobile!
We are there also, with the luego and a friends fiesta st
Myself, Bigfoot, and at least four other Wesfields that I know of will be there. Should be a good day.
Hi,
Ill be there in the avon, new exhaust system to try and get the noise down, not a problem at rockingham

The ground clearence might be an issue- looks to be about 40mm under the exhaust!!?!!!
Les
Weathers looking better every day, sadly that means I wont be keeping up with any of the Kits! lol
I am mega looking forward to this.
Really interested in snooping around big foots striker. It looks rapid in the vids. I just hope I can keep up, if he is on slicks that won't
happen!!
Richard will be on slicks as will Andy d!
old and worn slicks, really should of put my fresh ones on the rear.

Must try and remember to do another fly by vid. It sounds fantastic off the pitlane roof viewing area.
Crap video really, but turn up the volume,
If that doesn't work try this:

Didnt realise slicks were allowed, ive only done MSV days before where I seem to recall them not allowing them.
See you all there

Has everyone cooled off now? 
Wet morning.. my car on 888s was utterly useless. I think they mentioned in the breifing Rockingham is quite slippery in the wet? I think that's
a bit of an understatement.
Afternoon was good, and although my car was holding out OK, I think the high temperatures got to me. After only a few laps I was knackered and ready
to come in.
I've uploaded some pics to photobucket here:

A few ...
Great pics Andy - I was trying my best to get down for the afternoon but didn't manage to make up the time 
Hope you all had fun?

Good lines, so thats what apexes look like… I must start getting to know them, and touching them occasionally.

I spun on the first session but luckily had forgotton
to switch the camera on. My wet sessions do look like the video above, but in double slow motion! 
What a day! Good to meet Wayne, Eddie, and Richard? (Orange striker).
Track was a Skid pan in the morning then a monsoon, back to a skid pan till lunch, when the sun came out and literally change the track. My lap times
dropped from 230 when mildly moist to 1.55s. Even my novice father in law was getting the hang of it.
I decided to take a session with the instructor to see if I was missing anything important round a track that was new to me. Surprisingly there wasnt
much, just ensuring I keep my hands in one place and dont change before a bend to preempt the it, and ensuring i held the brakes into the bend to
keep the balance.
Will upload some vids and pics on Monday.

Chasing a couple of pals, Stoney and H, before outbraking myself.. followed by a couple of laps at the end of the day behind the Striker.

worse.

I think they may have mentioned the track would be slippery in the breifing ... one or two.. dozen times. It was bad though wasn't it. Anything less than a full race wet didn't work. Fwd territory?

Yeah, there was a phase 1 in what looked like full race trim, cage etc. Mine was the phase 2 with the personal plate (L10GYS).
I made the mistake of thinking I could get the temps into my Avon ZZRs on the green track in the morning, and after the downpour. I probably should have changed to my standard road tyres but didn't want to tear them up on the drying track as they were brand new.
Yeah that was the other one, I didnt run against him but the times I saw it from trackside it was going very well.
My tutored session:

Really pleased with that, I really should get my ARDs and give the real thing ago!

Looking good.
Coincidentally, I took my ards in 2010, and did a couple of races at the end of the year in my sons Civic.. I raced against Phil House's dad at
Croft in the Scottish sports & saloons . ;-) I had two class wins so retired whilst on top of my game.
Some footage from trackside... mainly of the father in law!
