The sun was out all day... 
Really enjoyable day which was spent mostly watching the track action. Nice to see Reyland car out as read Martins not been too well... so fair play!
Took forever to get in and park though.. was a lot quicker for F1! and the 0-60 was a bit of a trek... other than that, great day out
never the same going in a type R... now want an RS again
Who's car caught fire on track..
Looked bad.. happened just as we were leaving

great day, better laid out and busier than last year.
However the organisation for entry was absolutely shocking to sat the least. Left mine in the midlads at 0700 and got there at 0820.
From initially getting there it was almost 10am before i got the cars on the stand and set up etc....the split "y" entry system was a complete joke We was in the left hand side of the "y" system and we was being diverted from 2 lanes into 1 around the back of a building then back into 2 lanes to then turn right and then join the right hand side of the "y" system just by the bridge.....really needs a major re-think.
Never in 6 years experienced such a shambles of entry...........

Was a good day, serious lack of sleep last night didn't do me any favours though. I was at a mates place at 12:30am fitting a gearbox. I woke up shattered before even starting the day 
As soon as I saw all teh shiny Ford's it made me realise how much I miss my S2 and really need to free up some time and money to get her operational again

not a bad day but what was with the seating all but one or two of the spectator stands were closed off so there was nowhere to sit and should of been a 2 day event so you could see everything and they should allow camping in the site i recon

could`nt find the PF stand which i did try very hard maybe i walked through with out realising
all in all a well worth trip even getting the old girl out agian was somthing else even though i did run out of fuel 1/2 mile away from the petty station on the a34(no fuel gauge!)

Really enjoyed it today. Havn't been for a few years, but this was by far the best. The Paul swift show was brilliant!
That Corsa was very impressive. Were you having trouble getting power down, sounded like it!
Those Lotus' were flying around the track!

Was a great day as usual, thanks to the guys at FF
It was good to catch up with some new and the usual faces
I couldn't believe the amount of folks that took the time to ask how I was doing
We only realised half way through the day that the last time my Escort was used on the track was the same event the year before!!!

I reckon the OZ's would look good on a FRS.......
....and the do look like hubcaps if you dont know what they are

top top day out, much better than last year, track action was awome and seeing the rouse 500's made my day, harveys escort sounded fooking awsome down the back straight, food prices high but always are. Just a real good day out
