Blyton Park 21st Sept - Totalkitcar Live

Anyone going? I'm taking the Phoenix up and do track pax laps for RAW so stop by if you are in the area. Apparently Jeremy is going with his J15....

I'm up there on Friday doing the PPC track day. Then staying on for the KitCarLive event on Sat. Current plan is to camp Friday night . Camping is looking iffy though at the moment. I don't mind it being cold but I've seen the ground there after heavy rain when the water just forms huge puddles. I might come home then return Sat.

I've asked Andy Bates for a ride in the Sabre so I don't want to miss that.

You can always slum it in the Phoenix if you get bored....

I'll be there helping Jeremy out with passenger rides in the 1.4 zetec J15. A bit of sanity in the general lunacy!!

The weather forecast for Gainsborough is cool and dry from Thursday afternoon so Friday camping could be a goer?

Really enjoyed today. Weather was great and thanks to Fury for taking me out for a spin.

It was a great day. I volunteered to help Steve on the Fury stand and give a few passenger laps. It's a really good format and I think it'll get better. Well done to the organisers, circuit and exhibitors.

Thanks to Jeff for the ride... shame you prevented from taking up the reciprocal offer. ;)

It was pretty slow in the morning but picked up in the afternoon. I took Adi out but chickened out of going out in his beast of a Fury ;)

Had a great time spitting flames out the back of the car while taking passengers round. The Phoenix got a lot of attention and I did brisk business in the afternoon with Pax laps. I spent a long time chatting to Jeremy Philips about his new J15 and Vectis as well as him admiring the Phoenix :D which made me chuffed to say the least.

Blyton is a great track for kitcars and we should certainly 'do' an event there at some point. There where a large number of manufactures there with some issues during the day.....two Thruxtons where recovered, 1 Cobra went into the cornfield and Z Cars BEC Elise caught fire. I also caught and passed the AB Sabre twice (he wasn't happy) and almost crashed into the back of the Grinnal (driven by Mr Grinnal) who decided, rather than move over, to brake test me halfway down the straight. Apart from that it was all good, the car ran brilliantly all day and got lots of comments.

Weather was good so great day out.
