View Full Version : Sprint Day
Cheers to Mark for organising today...had a great time. And thanks to his mate (sorry, forgot name) for standing around timing us all day!
I now need two new tyres and, as I discovered on the way home, a wheel bearing as well :roll: . Was well worth it though :P
Oh, and I'm not usually one for making excuses, but quite blatantly the only reason anyone beat me today was because of my lop-sided ride height problems. Clearly that was why. I mean, what else could it be......
was a good day, cheers mark and friend !
get those results up asap ! :D
get those results up asap ! :D

Best £30 I've ever spent. Truly superb day.
Was a class day, car took a right old beating along with the front tyres..... :? .....need to order 2 more now..... :twisted: .......thanks to Mark and Co for organising and running the day.
Not sure about the 8 hours to get there and back but did enjoy myself..... :D

Just a quickie to say thanks for everyone who came along and made it a great day. My brother-in-law has 40mins of dvd footage which will be available for everyone for a few quid.
We also have loads of awesome action pics with the cars cutting corners and kicking up dirt and stones in true rally car style. I am currently on a friends computer and will be back tomorrow (Tuesday) morning and get the full results up and all the pics we have.
I really was surprised just how close the results were, with less than a second covering the first half dozen cars.
We will definitely arrange another day there soon and next time I WILL WIN. :twisted:
Even if it means I have to fix the results. :roll:
LOL...dvd would be good to see what you guys have been up to!
Yep I'd be up for the DVD Mark and also a copy of the pics on a CD aswell if poss????
Have some video footage myself....will get Monkey to work his magic.

Thanks to Mark for the day, was great fun, really enjoyed my first track experience and even thought it took me all day i managed to shave 4secs off my lap time. The DVD and photo's sound like a good idea.
Im new to the site BTW, i was in the white valver with Christian.
thanks for organising this mark, and thanks to your mate for timing us all day.

dont make a differance in mine....they stop when they feel like it....better with the ABS off.

ABS off made a huge difference. Would have been intrigued by Summeh's brakes as I was running std discs and DS2500 pads and found that a short sharp stamp on the pedal was scrubbing off shedloads of speed.
