Default Back from Combe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a fantastic day!

Realied what I've been missing not doing a track day in so long!

So:

Did anyone see my MR2 have an absolutely massive spin quite early in the morning?

That is a properly fast circuit - so much bumpier than anywhere else I've driven, and so little run off! Had a thoroughly enjoyable 6 or 7 track sessions - plenty of sideways, although I must admit to backing off ever so slightly after witnessing Dave's accident up close

MR2 is not a patch on the cossie - it definitely doesn't like the hot weather too much, and you really have to catch the slides on this thing mega early!

Thanks for a cool day to: Paul Eggleton and his Dad for helping me out all through the day - that saved me so much grief - cheers fellas

Thanks to all the organisers for putting on a very cool day.

Thanks to Renton and Sona for laying on a lovely BBQ at very short notice - superb hospitality! Cool TV too

Only gripes if I'm allowed to make a couple, is that signing on took far too long, and the queue to get out on track was a joke. 12 cars per session a 2 mile circuit? I had some sessions where I was just out on my own for the whole time - great for me on track, but not for the guys queueing for 90 mins to get out.........

Anyway, nice to meet all the usual suspects, and a few new faces too. Sorry to anyone who didn't get a ride that I'd promised one to (Rich, Dave etc), but I will make sure you get out at National Day.

Gutted for Dave obviously, but fair play for just getting on with it, getting a beer, and thinking about the next car

Anyone get any pics or vids of my MR2 then?
