I too would like to thank Frank for chance to take part, it was a great day and my first proper trackday in my 5xv r1 powered MEV tR1ke.
For me the best bit was the great variation in cars, just fantastic really.
Here's a couple of clips from the day if the link works.

Going well. 
Trying to figure out how it all works though.. you're changing gear with your left foot?

Lol,
It's the biker in me, left hand clutch and left foot gearchange, 1st back then 2nd to 6th forward.
There's much better feel from the clutch than when I had the normal settup plus it stops all my car driving mates from wanting a go

It's certainly quick, especially when you're solo. Dan was hoping you got some footage as my camera battery died as we went out and I got
nothing.

I had been (not) chasing you but not making much ground. Then just as I almost caught you, I realised you were on your cool-down lap so I came in too
so folks thought I was doing the same.....

Just spotted this on one of Frank's vids.. there's usually not a lot to hit if you go off at Blyton..

You cruel man!

Did you not use the Eastern circuit in the afternoon?

Flying as usually Adi I really need more power starting to get jealous of all these 1000 bike engines 
I spin up that inside left rear on that start corner all the time aswell when it unloads.

More of a wee take of Martin in his new Fury
I think i should probably make some futile racing driver esque excuses for Martin, as I did put the fear of god into him when he collected the car
about having to heel and toe otherwise you lock the rear wheels, pulling too many gears on the downshift and over-revving, etc, etc.
Excuses in order:
First time driving the car
Missus in the passenger seat slowing me down
Couldn't see the apex over the bonnet bulge (that's a short joke in disguise Martin )
etc.
That said "Miss Daisy" does seem quite appropriate considering the excellent weather conditions and sparsely populated track

My excuses are as follows:
First time out in the car since the build
First time on the track in a kit car
I'm fat
My car over heats
Gears didn't work properly.
Oh n my nose was running a little.
That said I "estimated" my lap time at 1:12"

Actually Adi, I did go off on that corner. Which is why they red-flagged the session to tow the tractor out of the way.
My excuses start at the front of the Turd, and end at the rear. It still stands me at less than £600. It's hard to see why it's cost more
than £4.

For his first time he was getting quicker but the talk of heel and toe and trail braking was a bit too much at first Tim. He'll be on to comment
and agree with the list of excuses soon, but I'm making the most of it while I can my old blade power and carpets will hamper me soon enough
But to add to tje pressure I reminded him he had one of the quickest cars there

Thanks Tim! Yes I did have the wife next to me, I had to lean forward to see over the bulge in the bonnet when turning left and half the time I was
guessing the gear, and I locked the rear brakes from over use 'smoking' but towards the end of the session I was getting the hang of it,
less braking and smoother lines.... No spinning! Spot on car Tim thank you
