I thought that was Jacko who drove like that!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only Kidding Graham!!::
Had a good day though, good to meet new people.
Had a great ride home as we ended up having a bit of sport racing the cars kicking out from the drag racing at Melbourne,i don't think the 3
fto's new what hit them when we left them for dead after overtaking them on a right hand bend and the Skyline owner tried hard but spent most of
his time looking in the rear view mirror full of MK
Cheers

If it was the White older Skyline it was pants at the Drag Racing as well!
Infact the most impressive thing I thought at the drag racing was a Green (cortina?) estate!
There is some very nice roads out that part of the country, just a shame some are a bit bumpy!

Great day out and good company. I was impressed with Paul's car on the track, it's amazing to think of the punishment that blade engine
takes week after week.

Elvington
Just to confirm as above brilliant day at York. Lots of nice MK's and nice to meet people so that I can put names to faces. To Sonic [Mick] I
may drive like a women now but in my younger days I used to do Grass Track Racing. I was class champion for 2 years, raced at the National's,
The fastest man on grass for approx 10 years. That included tracks such as Birmingham, Tenby, Bradford Scarborough, York, Hull, Market Raisen, Burton
Pidsey, Preston, to name but a few. Either way got the t-shirt, trophies, and photos. Of course driving like a women acheived this. Ha-ha. See you
soon. Graham.......  By the way It can't have been my son in his Skyliner with nearly 900 bhp and if it was he wasn't trying or
had the family in . ha ha Graham again

Another great day at Elvinghton,top marks to javelin for a well organised day, again,and don't forget there's another one on saturday 22nd
oct,there's a block booking already in place for yorkshire locost builders,so all you lot who went up there to watch,and have your own little
drag race up the run way
you no who you are,lets have you all "ON TRACK" next time,they even won't mind if you want to do a bit of grass tracking Jacko,if
you think you can get round a bit quicker that way but skydivepaul tried it,but without much success just come along and have fun,I think we all
did that on Sunday.
cheers Paul

East circuit seems to be far worse than west circuit for loose stones. It is quite hard on soft tyres though.
Stonechips can be avoided by protecting the vulnerable areas with 100mph tape.

yes the track can be a little bit rough in places,if you compare it to a "normal" race circuit,but the trade off is at least theres no
crash barriers or concrete walls to hit,as with most circuits,which is a big plus for us novices,it means we can only run into each other,or a big
grass sod

ive always wondered, what happens in the event of a an accident (either fault or no fault) resulting in damage to the vehicles? Im guessing that no
one has track insurance...?

from our point of veiw insurance wise any car that is owned by us or driven by any of our staff has to be insured for public liability etc because we
are a manufacturer representing a product, for instance brands cost us 380 pounds extra for the required cover due to track action
