I hope it is not nailing it down...... I have the 888's on at the moment! Road rims and tyres are up at PowerStation and I can't be arsed to go up there and swap over.

I will have to be on low boost boost anyhow, since high boost will undoutedly shatter the noise meters!

I haven't driven Dono properly for about 7yrs..... so I am shitting my pants a bit.

Yeah funny that..... especially when I was in Jay's Escort years ago at Dono and he lost the brakes down the back straight. Oh, and you tried to kill me as a passenger when you nearly T-Boned another car on my side. Mmmmmm, really strange why I am shitting myself!

Not sure if that would work, as I am in the novice group, so I would have to run straight from your car to mine . But would be nice to do if possible.

Glad you know your true name .

Some great cars on that list! Can't wait for Sunday! Hope it's not like a few years ago though when the first 4 hours of track "action" actually consisted of about an hour of cars on track and three hours of the clean up / recovery!

Ok you nonce. We will try and work something out...... it's a 20min session is it not (I doubt I would stay out for the full 20mins anyhow), so it does not really matter if I was 5mins late going out tbh. I am doing alternate sessions with my mate, so I will only be out once every two hours in theory.

Can anyone tell me what time the track action starts and finishes, inlcuding lunch break, so i can work out how many sessions I can get in?

I'm not on track this year, but it used to start at 09:00 and end at 17:00 with an hour break for lunch. Meaning the maximum number of sessions you would get would be 7. I'm guessing you and your mate will be doing three each and then fighting over the extra one!

Just come back from a few days away, chuffed to find all the track stuff waiting for me!

Lets hope the queues for signing on aint as haphazzard as last year? Dont know why the RSOC make such a meal of such a simple thing TBH. Normal trackdays at donny are SO straightforward in comparisson.
