Only the top 5 cars moved through to the Super Battle, however, when we started checking the times during the Super Battle we realised that only 4 cars from Rons class were running...
Not sure exactly what happened to the car that qualified 5th and why 6th didn't get moved up to run etc.
When we asked what was going on we couldn't get a straight answer so we're going to keep pushing and try and get some info in the next few days...
However - a HUGE well done to Ron, after running into problems with the setup of the car yesterday we tried everything to make the car handle better and achieved night and day changes, but it wasn't quite 100%.
Also, lets not forget that there are two cars in Rons class that are running well over 800bhp!!! Ron has less than half that power!
I'll let Ron give you his side of things tomorrow

Not in Ronnies class but a CarPlanet Evo done a 51.??s
New time attack track record.There was a couple of 800bhp supras in Ronnies class, aswell as 600+bhp skyline(s) and a tasty wee lotus that was rapid, not sure what power though, im not sure how they decide what cars go in what class? It isn't bhp, or driven wheels or seat numbers etc... Either way i think Ronnie can be very proud, he done well.

I survived lol
I put the new bilsteins on the front for knockhill and went out for my first go ever at the track and the car felt terrible!! Was like the front was on ice.
Big respect to will for doing what he could with the lack of adjustment we had suspension wise but managed to get the car better than it originally was.
Went out for my first session and the track was damp so was a good chance to see how much grip I had in the wet which was pretty much none lol
Second session and the track had dried up. Went out and the car felt good, best it had felt all weekend. I was 6th fastest in my group so knew I had to make up time and I knew that it was at the bottom of the hill I could make it up as that's where I was having most of the trouble with the understeer.
Qualifying,, didn't do many changes to the car as we didn't really want to make too many for qualifying, went out and done a warm up lap come to the first corner and an evo wasn't too sure whether to let me through or not and moved over at the last opportunity which made me brake later. No heat in the front Tyres locked up and was either go straight into the Tyres or try and steer in and see how far I got lol.
Went for the second option and had a good excursion across the gravel. No damage though so all is good.
Next lap round and the session got stopped because of a spectator on track!!!!
I didn't make the final and as will said not sure what happened with the cars above me. As we've said this year is all about learning for me. And I have learnt a lot from this weekend.
Massive thanks to all of my friends who took the time out to travel up with me and help

Nice one Ronnie and well done bud.
I had a phone call off the Mrs cousin while i was at work saying 'Is that lad in the 3dr taking the piss coming out of hairpin broadside every lap or what?' I said its probably harder to stop it from doing it tbh, but i am sure he will keep doing it all day and maybe play on it a little bit :P

To be fair on the guy, he was only looking for a Kebab shop. Its not his fault he had to cross the road to find one
Other than that, it was a pretty good day.
