So 4th in class with a 46sec run on the Abingdon and 51sec on the Bentley.

Interesting on the Bentley as it is a very rare course which has a straight drag to the first corner, the datalogger shows 0-60MPH in 4.4secs and 0-100 in 8.4, would have been quicker to 100 but I grabbed 4th just before the 100 came up. Not bad for cold tyres.

interesting day with a few Sylva out and about. I got thrashed by Ian Parr in his Busa engined Riot and there was David out in his J15/Vestis plus another Riot in Sport Libra.

First go with my 4 camera Video4 datalogger and I'm still working it all out (hence 3 cams only.)

Good runs Jeff , I ended up marshalling at the Abingdon chicane not the startline so watched your approaches each time through. You blew my previous best Abingdon course time away with your 46 sec's run --- my last run there in 2010 was 47.9 sec's with my 231bhp/600kgs spec (52.49 sec's Bentley), then of course I wrecked the head at Brands

Didn't Simon do well too 4th overall if my memory's in tact

I have to say it looked like a tough class in A8 this time around

Well done Simon, 2nd in class and 3rd overall with Tony Beesley getting FTD. Clearly Riots can be made to handle well so perhaps there is hope for my J15

Whoops --- was Simon 3rd overall , thought he said 4th

How did the car look through there Rob? Ian Parr in the Busa Riot and the Rush thing where miles down the road from a times perspective...

Nice to see you chaps yesterday. Really interesting to see you all at play.

Couple of photos taken with my sons camera*, would have been better if the cones hadn't snuck into the view!
View some spectator spot was pretty dramatic, spins, cars up on 2 wheels and an Elise that stuck it into onto the big bank.

*racing driver excuse here, I actually took the rubbish photos so can't blame Ben.

Glad to hear that you all did so well,

Matt

Thanks Matt, good to see you. Sprinting is tempting isn't it
My wife is into Photoshop in a big way but I suspect she may have trouble removing the cones

[matt_gsxr]

Agreed. Crap photos, but a nice day out.

My car is working again, not quite ready for sprinting though.

Matt good to hear that after explaining your woes yesterday. If you fancy a run out send me a text.
