Well done to all the hardy souls that stayed till the end in (for us southerners) rather inclement conditions, although Gaz who controls the pit/collecting area still managed to get a mega tan!
At least the big wind and rain made the midges stay in the tyre wall and not venture out!

Was awesome, that track is mint for drifting, insane.

Shame the rain came n slowed things down, as qualifying was the best action ive seen in the EDC.

The grip the Whiftbitz car had even in the wet was mental!

Dan Ayles was awesome for someone who had just got his EDC licence and had never drove Knockhill before.

BonBons car looked insanely cool in qualifying, big ass car, bright as hell, loud as frick, silly fast, and loadsa smoke, that going down the straight into the dip was mint to watch.

Mark Johnston and Tony Green were my faves in the twin drifting in the wet, and they were both properly loving it too, great crowd pleasers

But go on, admit it, who was the ones giving it some Dunfirmline Streeto about 12.30am?

You was right outside my bloody hotel, woke me up and I had to be up at 5.30, lol.
Worst bit was I couldnt see you as my window was at the wrong side!

Only bad thing is there was far less people there, last time we struggled to get parked.

The only sad thing i found was that not many people stayed over for the prize giving and where the podium was situated was right next to the entry/exit of the car park so we were all squashed in to a small area to give all the people leaving room to do so.

It would be nice to see a custom podium area for the racers to recieve their well deserved trophies and the like.

The actual Knockhill podium is in the pitlane and where we put it is best to grab peoples attention.

Spoke to Knockhill today and the attendance doubled over last year which is superb, they were even asking us to already pick a date for 08

Thats ok.

It is a pain to keep a large percentage of a crowd around at any event to be honest.
