trax aftermath

bengie · 03-09-2006, 18:05

so hows everyone doing then? i had a great time and loved the track time even if the others in the first session drove like complete nancies

any breakages? and crashes?

we had a nice easy uneventful trip home ourselves

**mannyo** · 03-09-2006, 18:40

How did it go?, and what was the weather like. It was very windy here today.

bengie · 03-09-2006, 18:45

very windy there too, the track was a bit damp and greasy at the start but dried up within an hour or so so the guys with the later slots got a nice clean dry track

went excellent as far as i know, none of us had any major issues and hopinh everyone got/is getting home fine

**mannyo** · 03-09-2006, 18:47

Nobody crashed during the track time then, unlike previous years.

bengie · 03-09-2006, 18:51

well, steve(makefish) decided to try and interesting line after shifty scared him

but no, no one actually crashed/spun

they just all drove like lezzers and got overtaken by the tractor

Brilliant day, brilliant weather, briliant BBQ bengie.....nice to meet everyone ish

Pity about the turnout . 22 at last count

bengie · 03-09-2006, 18:57

yeah could have done with more people and definitely needed more out on track!!

***ncarring*** · 03-09-2006, 20:00

I was one of the lezzers - definitely need some new rear tyres

I wouldn't worry about it to much Nick, the place has no grip anyway.

bengie · 03-09-2006, 20:12

that left hand hairpin by the pit exit was bloody terrible, slippery as anything!

**delcac** · 03-09-2006, 20:14

Steve is quite good at taking that bend.

***ncarring*** · 03-09-2006, 20:17

I had a bit of a tank-slapper moment on it - at about 30mph

devonutopia · 03-09-2006, 20:20

I enojyed it immensely. I lost the back end on the "warm up" lap on that bloody first bend - Put me in a great frame of mind for the rest of the session.

But I did OK I reckon, just taking it dead slow on that bend.....

7.31 seconds was my best 0-60 which I'm happy enough with - plenty of wheelspin.

Hoping someone caught me on camera. Video'd makefish doing a 7.68, but was handed a 6.68 time, so I don't know what to believe.

(I wanna believe I got a better 0-60 than a stage 2 Revo'd new octy vRS

Not that Steve's is modded in anyway)

Weather was quite warm, but very windy. Means I didn't feel myself getting sunburnt. I'm a little lobster like now.

A great day out though - so glad my tickets arrived! And thanks to Dave for sorting it all out again this year.

Roll on Czech roadtrip now.

Nick - I think my back end was squirming, and losing front grip at less than 30mph around it.

***ncarring*** · 03-09-2006, 20:21

Indeed we mustn't forget Mr U's sterling efforts - several Brownie points due there too. Well done Dave!

What did he use on track in the end.

***ncarring*** · 03-09-2006, 20:27

He didn't - he must be somewhat disappointed

bengie · 03-09-2006, 20:28

nowt, i did offer him my awesome cossie* saphire. i still think he should have shown us how to do it in the explorer!!

but yes a big thanks again to dave for making this happen as it was again a great day

and i don't really see what you people are going on about with this traction issue on that corner

come into it at about 35 in 2nd then boot it at the apex then lift off harsh and get he back end to kick out a bit for the right hander

*the aformentioned car isn't a "factory" cossie but infact a 1.8cvh with cossie wheels that infact make it well fast man!

Quinten · 04-09-2006, 08:25

Big

to Mr Dave 'Late again' U for arranging everything again this year. SWMBO and Q Jr have caught the D1 bug, so look out for me in the championship in a few years time

Would have had a great 1st session on the track if I hadn't forgot to switch the ASR off and the video camera on

Session number 2 went fantastic, but jeez, are those Skylines slow or what?

Emily-Elizabeth · 04-09-2006, 08:30

I had a great day. Trip back was stress free, I was too tired. Just set cruise to 60mph and toddled along in the slow lane.

I am sunburned, very sunburned.

Princess is still sleeping, these meets take it all out of her - bless. I do not think she is over being smuggled into the show ground in my boot.

Thank you Dave U for organising it all!

Baker21 · 04-09-2006, 08:53

Good to put some faces to the names that I see on here and big thanks go to DaveU and Bengie, much appreciated!!

Had to pop back over to Edition38 to see a few more cars and they had a good turnout over there on the Sunday!!

What's this about a Czech trip?
