Overtaking on the wrong side whilst going through Craner. taking your helmet off whilst still on the track

Cant see what the marshall`s problems are really

Go to 'signing on' which is in the café and buy one there - extra driver wristbands cost Ł35 and passenger's wristbands cost Ł20. They have changed from single wristbands to two wristbands now - one of them being a wider paper one which is a different colour each trackday.
Passengers and drivers both Ł20 I think now. They were the same price last weekend anyway.

Perhaps Julie who does the signing on, was feeling in a charitable mood that day

Paul

the rs2000 isn't the fastest out there but it 's good for what it is

totally standard engine /gearbox/diff/exhaust/fiter
and it's fwd so you will be ok mate

warm the slicks up and go flat out dont take your foot of the accelerater pedal there is decent brakes on it if you need to stop too good for the car .lol...

it hasn't got a cage tho, that is on my list , but if you get one give us a shout

Booked on last night as did my mate. Out of interest whats it like for leaving your tool boxs around when you are out on track? Just don't want to come back in and they have gone walkies like most other stuff at donno.

Looking forward to it Redkop

was going all out to have the S2 ready for it, but run out of funds firstly and secondly would be right on the last minute timewise so it's staying home probably safer for it


So will be out in the REX '360' it'll be there pre-prepared with crash damage, so if it has another little moment will go in the gravel this time

.. Lee.. Bora / CRX challenge round 2?

Sounds like me aswell. The thing with the integra is so easy to drive quickly it's not much of a challenge imho, and i owned one for 18months and did a few track days. Saphs alot more fun even if it maybe doesn't corner quite as quickly it's more of a challenge, double the power of the itr helps aswell

My mate who's coming along in his car won the Fwd handling class at totb this year, so atleast i am going to get some good passenger rides if my drivings crap. Where in different groups anyway.

Whats the sketch with pit garages at donno is it first come first serve or do you have to book/pay extra? If anyones getting a garage do they mind if i just store my tools in there when out on track?
