good points

that xr2 absolutly hammering everything round that track when it was out in the morning session

watching mr rainbird going round the track really quickly

not so good points

my mate blowing his clutch up on the 0-60 strip

that bloke who lost a wheel out on the track, parked it up, went to have a look, then walked back with a "oh bollocks" walk to the other side of he car where the marshalls were already on the scene

sunburn, what a fooker

it was after the first corner and these 2 escos's were giving it full beans round the track, i think one was blue and one was grey, but can't qute rememebr now, one had the performance ford logo down the side of it
anywa, the performance ford one finally got ahead of he other one and, in what seemed to be the run in lap, the second escos slowed down right in front of us and then pulled to the side, then pulled back ou again and thenpulled over to the near side while the nsf wheel went rolling down the track into the gravel trap

the food pricing is becoming a joke, it's not even as if the food prices are consistent during the whole year, especially when they all use the same catering firms

one side of the park was Ł5.50 and the other sied it was only Ł3.20 (which is still too much but much more reasonable)

But good to meet everyone imo, wasnt as good as i expected it too be, but i wanted to do a lot more things then we had time for, so roll on next year

Steve Scott was in the bluey one and the one that lost a wheel was Stuart Whyte who came down from Scotland with Chris Doherty in the dark pink Escos. Stuart and Chris both race with Steve in the Ford Saloon Car Championships.
