I think the idea of the day is that everyone can have a go on a decent track without having to get licenses and stuff.

Be warned that it can go wrong tho. I came off the track at Lydd and hit the tyre wall a couple of years ago...
It ripped the front bumper off (bar 1 zip tie) and narrowly missed the FMIC that Id fitted 2 days previous :wack:
Luckily no metal damage other than paint tho :)

SteveDunn

Phil, perhaps we could organise something where anyone that hits the tyres, gets to stand where the tyres they hit, were, for the next cars lap? :wack:

JonnyBroadside

23-10-2006, 19:44

big thanks to g master t and paul :wave: for lending me all there tools! might even bring my own next time! :D

anyone got any pics or videos of my car, on or off the track! post em up j
