TRAX National Meet, Silverstone 02.09.07. Stand Booking

Wardy · 02-09-2007, 20:02

Ah, so it worked all the way back to Blackpool?! Good effort

On the identification front, I still reckon we should all wear badges. At least to start the day; as geeky as it may seem

I just got back to Devon. Very chuffed with my economy. I filled up last Thursday - not a brimmer either. Did Devon to Midlands, down to E38 and back up to Midlands, to the Leic mini meet, and back, then down to Silverstone, and back home. 565 miles done, and I tanked it up with 25 miles to go on the screen.

Have a cracking headache though now!

Feels like sun stroke....

I've made it all the way back to Northampton, ready for a small drive to Dublin in the morning.

Great to see you all, t'was a great meet. The track time was excellent, apart from the EVO 2 muppet who couldn't go around corners. Pictures and a video to come as soon as I get back home

**VRStu** · 02-09-2007, 20:22

Nice to see a good turnout of Skuds this year. Sadly didn't get to chat as much as I would have liked - Missed the BBQ and the Brisky track session somehow too

jdwinter · 02-09-2007, 21:02

I'll host mine tomorrow. I may even have one or two car ones from the day.

Wardy · 02-09-2007, 21:39

Car pictures! Damn it. Oh well, I'm sure some people will have some.

Leeboy · 02-09-2007, 22:10

Got back at about quarter to seven. Great day out, nice to chat with a few familar and new faces. Cracking track session was my highlight - hoping the crowds in the grandstands were suitably impressed with Skoda Speed! Got some good photos of various cars (and other models) including a Porsche Carrera GT. Difting demonstrations were top notch too!!

themightygez · 02-09-2007, 22:19

Good to see you guys. Great day out.........must remember a chair and suncream next time though!

Wardy · 02-09-2007, 22:34

I'm making my photos available via Picasa, here

I'm quite pleased with some of the track photos

Hope you enjoy...
Steve

EDIT: If people want plates blanking from the track sessions photos, let me know

***ncarring*** · 02-09-2007, 22:51

Bluefox · 02-09-2007, 23:29

I stumbled over the stand first and last thing during the day, got a good spot... Maybe next year I'll get chance to come over and say hi, was being dragged around by a couple of Vaux-nuts.

Looked good though, and despite the inability of the "children" who attended to drive properly on the way there/home, I enjoied the day

beedie · 02-09-2007, 23:40

8hrs driving (with a stop in Lake district to get some pics)
