The black M3 trying to drift the two hairpins was one of my favourites belongs to one of dingy;s mates

Custom in the black MkII RS2000 was going well to! that's loads faster than i was expecting

Mart from derbyshire group was flying on road tyres in his merc grey Series 2 - think there was 4 of us in grey s2's out at one point

I mentioned to a mate of mine, all the cars were well built. To stand 2 days of Track abuse! Lol if i took my RS2000 on it would probably fall to bits half way round!
A credit to all cars on the track, made my day watching them whizz round.....

Car of the day for me was the jamsport RS Turbo, properly quick car and Jamie can really pedal it, Si B and Nige in their evo's could match its pace but not beat it, likewise JC and the other subaru (blue one) as well.

Just goes to show what they CAN be capable of with the right mods/driver

Thanks Chip, it's amazing what Jamie's done to the shonky old Escort.

You should have come over and had a passenger ride. Me and Jamie were taking loads of people out all weekend.

We'll hopefully be out at National Day, so come over and see us then.

The engine this weekend was new, and we used Saturday as a running in session!
The boost was turned down, and we pulled some ignition out to keep it safe. It should be back on the rollers this week for a few tweaks, so should be a touch faster next time it's out.

Andy has got the car sorted, and hes not one for big dumpvalves and sideways through the hairpins

But however he is one for going through the chicane, tower, JC esses very quickly , and the speed he was carrying through Sunny Out was mental

Think its time for a cossie powered track car for me ,

was very impressed with the scooby STi and the orange 205 GTi.
Me and my brother were in the Clio 172 (bug shaped lights) and it was our first track day Although we couldnt take the corners aswell as others due to lack of experience i was very happy with the speed on the straights.
