Default Your "on-it" cars from the PF track day...?

For me it was: (in no particular order)
Reyland Escort
Steve Scott's Escort
"Dangerous Reyland" Escort (cheers for the passenger ride mate )
Andrew G's Focus
Charlie Shaw's Focus
Tommy Field's Escort
Dingys Mk2
White Mk2 with blue stripes over it (dont know who owns it)
PF Daves Fez
PF Nicks S2 (thanks for the passenger ride )

The mk2 with blue stripe was Adrian halls, top car and driver and considering its powered by a n/a cossie engine it was taking it to much more powerful cars such is his tallent.

well isaw quite a bit.in no order i was impressed with

tommy fields escy(thing flew through the gears)

martins' thunder saloon(have to say greg did a good fast couple of laps with me in it )

martoons escy was doing well considering he didnt know the track(maybe i'll get out for a few laps next time with you mart.)

that zakspeed mk2 was awesome!

the lotus cortina was also shifting red top vauxhall i think?

steve scotts was on it most of the day

warren's was too.

dave xr2 was doing damn well

The temps spiked a few times from what Steve told me, so he went back out at half boost to test it and see if all was ok.... but I think the fun and games between you two finished it off

The one that stood out for me was the black Capri with the stupid thing stuck over the back screen for being the worst driver i have ever seen on a track day cutting people up,not paying attention to flags etc etc,i even watched video footage someone took and everytime the capri driver came past i could hear him moaning about it lol.

Cars that stood out for me in a good way were the Thunder saloon 3dr,Tommy Fileds Escos and Dingy was going well for his first outing around Brands hatch,Infact i think Dingy thought he was still on track on the way home when he went flying past everywhere we were going to stop for food

I wasn't supposed to be on track but went and had my car noise tested first thing for a laugh to see how much I would fail by and future reference.

I just passed and then went on a mission to get a track pass. Dave was very kind and went and had a word with the organisers. They would happily give me a pass if I found someone that wasn't using there's.

5 minutes later and the blue mk2 escort crashed. I asked him and he sold me his track pass for £50. What a top bloke. I was on track before 10am.

I don't think some of the 4x4 saffs were very happy at getting blue flagged to let me passed. Especially as I was only running 15 psi till 5k and then dropping to under 10psi.

I really got into it in the afternoon. Only my second track day ever and the one before that was over 3 years ago.

Running 26psi now. Can't wait till it dries up outside
