Default Croft, awsome day!

Ive just got back from croft and i cant wait to go back down tmora for the show. some poor lad smacked the railing in his evo early on in the day but after that i walked all over the place lookin at what cars were there, Andrew G's focus looked awsome even with its twin parked next to it. if you have nowt on tmora id highly recomend it cos its a top day out.

Just signed up to this site, I was at croft for both days.
Saturday i was there to watch a friend in his escort cosworth on the track, But unluckly the car became ill. He was not able to use his track time on sunday but he was able to transfer the track time to me and my brother.(We were in a PH1 172 clio(Hate us i know)).
Signed up to have alook around and compliment, The RSowners that were there for a very enjoyable weekend.

Erm..Its a 172 half stripped. (The front will be stripped and buckets and harness's in this week)

Battery moved to the back, also running cat cams (420's) s and a group N ECU (runnning about 185BHP atm as it currently isnt mapped correctly to the car so its running abit rich)

Was our first track day and the car is not final yet but really enjoyed it and the car managed the full 6 sessions then we drove home, could not ask for more tbh.

Croft was a good weekend yet again!!

You gotta admit us Derbyshire & Duham RSOC no how to put on a show

I'm Claire i was doing signing on on Saturday & a little bit on Sunday but was on track in Red S2 on Sunday - great fun apart from having shite road tyres on so got to hot & having a little slight oil leak but it got me home good n well

It was good to put faces to some names i have seen on here over the months.

Alot of very nice cars around show & track

Everyone was friendly & it was good weekend - shame bout feeling (ok n looking lol) rough but sat & sun was deffo morning after nights before lmao

Thumbs up Top Day

Really enjoyed myself on Sunday.

Thank you to Derbyshire RSOC for your hospitality and burgers.

Had to preserve the back tires on the barge so I could get home which was a shame - not to mention its first outing on track and not wanting to prang it.

Hopefully back next year with my s2000 powered AE86 (but I've been saying that for the last 2 years LOL).
