Superb day, thanks alot Pod .

I was (to coin a Lozza phrase) Flapping at the wheel good and proper . The car seriously still scares the crap out of me.
The new alternator worked, but the stupid posh battery cuttoff thing we use is still randomly cutting all electricity when I bang off the limiter..

My best achievement today was two and a quarter laps, brand new tyres to canvas

I'm not surprised!! It's savage!!! So kewl to watch it smoking out half of santa pod!

Was a great day as usual, and seemed slightly busier than the previous Advanced days which was great!

Thank you to Gaz for letting me do a few skids in the s13, PAS makes it soooo easy!! Well the steering at least lol i sucked at the rest!

Great day anyway, most were well behaved and the day ran smoothly

I managed to snap a couple of pics on my camera phone but all pretty poor quality to be honest







Oh and a sneaky pic of the Renault F1 car being turned around for another run!



Sorry about the poor quality but thought id share what i had!

A vid of Phils S15 smoking...

EDIT - never realised that that vid wasnt as good as it looked on my phone

Good to catch up with folks but I had a properly shite days driving, I was terrible

I know I'm never 100% happy with my driving (hey, can always be better) but today I drove worse than I have in years. Ended up getting red mist and giving up before I did any more damage than a smashed bumper.

Will be back at the Pod before long, though, it's a fun track

Top day, as always

Phils smoke machine was so bad that at onbe point I had to stop playing on the figure of 8 coz I couldnt see where I was going. Steveo's car was rather wicked as well

Definitely 7-3 to GmasterT in the Carlton when Phil was twinning with him though - shocker!

My day was good - after a few probs with a melted breather got down to it and was rocking quite nicely - couldnt do the Fo8 but then realised I had 245 Toyo Proxes on - 280 odd brake isnt enough for that kind of grip

Double looking forward to seeing the EDC boys up there now we know whats involved - anyone not linking the whole circuit will get loads from those of us who were up there yesterday

Had a great day again like last month. Great weather and people made it stand out.

I felt I improved more than last time so I cant wait for the next one!

And I didnt break my car this time too so bonus.


Was fun to go out with another Corolla too as I like them


Thanks
Adam

Great day, great venue, hassle free and plenty of time on the track. I felt the numbers were just right

Managing to arrange the F1 car for us was also greatly appreciated and was the icing on the cake
