are they on track yet.

how did the signing on go on.

wish i was there.

 

any news yet?

how was the Q's to get on track?

have i missed a good day there.

 

how come your not there Dave???

 

booked on at Croft instead.

though i could do with a change.

 

just got back. not been on track but didnt seem to be much of a queue at all. will let the track peeps tell ya better. the ABC motorsport saff had a bit of a smokey fire type incident and was craned onto the back of a pick up.

 

I had a txt off Spikey,to say that my old 3dr was going round...

GUTTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pete...

 

Just back,

There were not too many in the que for the track,infact i would say today was quite dead to past years.

not many on track,not many spectators walking around and the stalls and for def was down in numbers.

I dont know whats happening now-a-days,CC used to be packed and awkward to find a spectators spot on the top corner(just before the start/finish straight) but today twas easy.

Hope it gets better for next year.

 

Today track actually sold out like last year only difference was all the track last year sold out b4 the day but 2day we sold out on the day.

either way we still sold out which is good

Looked like signing on was much quicker also this year.

As for spectators i have got the exact numbers as of yet so cant comment

Hope you all had a good day?

 

warleydaddy
yep mike took it round on the parade lap only lol

Ques were ok!

went out in my mates S2 RST and was very impressed!!

so much so,, that i sold my cossie just after that today to buy
a track car!!!
good day!

 

Top day.
Anyone know who was in the red mk5b rs2000?

 

rs_daz
yes! (well friend of a friend)
it was smoking cos he overfilled it with oil apparently!
but looked like it was going ok didnt it!

 

Your talking cak we had more people through the gates than any year before and a full line up of track cars.

 

I completely agree with st3v3, compared to past years it could quite easily be described as "dead". I hope this was only due to the fact that most are going to Croft tomorrow!!

I seem to remember last year there were three rows or cars queuing for track, this year there was only two!

 

Oh right nice one
Yeah was going well ..,nice to see one on track giving it shit all day.Good old battle with them pug
Just wondered if you know what suspension he had as it look pretty solid on the corners..

 

It was me and my bro in the Pugs - my bro sailed past him but I had nothing on him power wise and he wouldn't let me past on the bends or brakes so I couldn't get by - hence being on his bumper all day.

He has Gaz coilovers and no interior - plus cut slick tyres - otherwise bascially standard!

Was going well, but better brakes will help him race the Pugs!

Si

 

I am NOT talking cak at all,

CC was nothing like previouse years,i've been going probably 6-7 years now,or something close and this year was the definately slack,
You check your figures, im sure that will tell the whole story.

 

You guys were on the pipe all day fair play
Cheers for the info on the rs2k

 

ABC sapphi had a blow out not a fire and drove half way home so all good

 

today was spot on , track was flowing really well and there was at least the same amount of people as last year

 

very dead dave .. no queue to get on atall

well sorted out for signing on too

think they need 3 lanes of cars queuing tho .. as we were backed up .. but there were not that many incidents so i got 4 sessions in easily
went for no 5 and the car said it had had enough

 

You the guy that broke down in the que right at the front?

 

first visit for me today at CC.

loved it. Do they do tracke events all year around at all?

Tocca-nice Rover mate

 

tocca yep

how bloody annoying was that .... never did get it running again

 

Not good mate What was up with it in the end? I was letting my car cool down when someone had come to tow you out from where you pushed it! Took you a while to get it moved then? The cossie behind you went off on the first lap of the session. Seen you potching around when ya towed it back out.

 

think it flooded itself and killed 2 plugs

so now tucked away feeling sorry for itself

just need to find out why it flooded now .. was sat there warming the car up and it just cut out .. wouldn't restart if the fuel pump was running

 

I have to agree with what st3v3 has said above and like him i have been going there since the RS track days first started there.

I brought two friends along to watch the track action today only to be asked why half the participants were not Fords !!
In past years a lot of the cars were high powered RS's with just the odd non-ford getting on track, where as this year the quickest (visable) car on track was a quality MGB V8.

Before anyone gets their axe into my head let me say that the organisation and the cars in the show ground area was top notch as always, But there was a lack of RS cars on track compared to years gone by !!

 

Last year we got slated with some justification that the queue's were to long and the track organisation was poor, this year we got the track organised properly, reduced the track car numbers(as was requested by all concerned) down to 90 track cars the queues wern't there because it worked well it would seem we can't do anything right!

 

Did feel quiet to me too. Enjoyed meself nonetheless

 

I have already had confirmation of the figures from the director of Combe
the show was also spread out over a larger area this year so everybody can't be in the same place at the same time.

 

i can agree ... it was very quiet compared to the previous 7 visits

i love this track day

 

Thankyou seems people on here just have to moan whatever happens.

 

We can't force people to bring Fords and you also have to remember RS's are getting older and fewer every year alot of big powered cozzies are being broken and sold.

 

Didn't realise you were there
bugger would have come and said hello

Was a fecking brill day that track is fast I like




Regards Doug .

 

im not moaning .. i bloody loved it .. will be going for as long as i can

always has been a brilliant day .. well apart from last years problems .. that had been sorted out this year

good level of driving ... unlike donno last year

Doug

i know .. i kept looking to find you near the car .. you were either out on track or off wandering somewhere

 

I'll second that i thought it ran as smooth as a baby's arse never done this day on track been to previous shows and always thought well organised and plenty to do good job well done !



Regards Doug .

 

for me personally, it as a fucking good day!

ok the show was not as contained as previuos years, meaning that it was more spread out, but the numbers were there none the less!

i got a ride out with paul swift for a few laps in the fezzer st, fucking awsome, and then i was the passenger for his first stint of his action stuff, and i was then shoved in the boot for the drive on 2 wheels brilliant!!

the track action was great, you really cant complain over previous years where too many cars were allocated track time, meanging lots off of offs and early exits.

and now im fooking knackered and off to bed!

I have to agree with that too, its hard to face that there will be less RS's each year !![/quote]

 

Absolutely TOP day for me!!!!
NO queues at signing on, took me 5 mins tops. Out on track just after 9, 5 sessions done by lunchtime Another 3 in the afternoon saw me out of petrol for the second time and out of tyres LOL.

100% fantastic day - saw nothing of the rest of the show as usual LOL so can't comment, the people who came with me had a good time though.

Met up with a few people, old and new, good to meet Doug, and catch up with Eagle, Sketch, SiB

 

Likewise Rich was a pleasure mate



Regards Doug.
