Still, I like a challenge :wacko:

Man did it rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :( Track only dried out for a short time but I had a few good spells out there before the clouds opened again and wiped out the day for us :( The track looks to have dried out well for the evening session. Think they will have a loveley evening actually (hope so). Loved taking out Cliffie's car and it made me feel better about my decision to go SC. Once my car is ready I'm sure I'll be quicker than when I had the other car, but it was tough seeing it turn up for the evening session with a different driver :(

Hi all evening session was good not too much rain but still a bit twitchy! 2 red flags, at least 4 cars off - all elise's I think. 1 silver rear clam damage, 1 black back damage and smashed front into pit wall - lots of damage but driver ok. After that people took it a bit steady! Some nice looking VX's there today, made mine look a bit scruffy! My last outing for a while got to take clam off and do some repairs from my pheasant damage. Hope to get it up to scratch for the spring, see you all then.

Lee, you are a legend, thanks so much for butchering your car, packing the family into the shed and driving to Northampton to save my sorry arse... again. Never underestimate your friends and never take them for granted.

Bit of a frustrating day today and sorry I didn't get many people out in the passenger seat. The morning was mostly too wet for slicks and too dry for wets and that stoppage in the afternoon took an age to sort out. Still, always nice to get out for a blast! Sorry to hear Cliffie has more problems... thought we sorted that after finding water in the electrics.
