Another big thank you to Dave, Andy and all the rest of you folks who organised today. I had a fantastic time - as evidenced by wearing my osf tyre to the metal! As a novice in the driving seat on an ocassion such as this (more used to a navigator's view of progress) I may not have totally mastered all of Andy's patient tips but I certainly learnt a lot. Notwithstanding my driving ability, it was interesting to see how a 40+ year old design compared to your more modern machinery. After feeling reasonably proud of my account in the slalom - I was humbled by the automotive progress of BMW coupled with a very skilfull bit of driving driving! Hopefully I'll meet some of you again at a track day soon. Am thinking of the Brands evening coming up........... Cheers Tim

Thanks everyone that organised it and thanks to Andy for helping improve my driving with his usefull pointers. I had a great time and learned a lot about my cars handling - 75 is ok but 85 was too fast for me but is quite fun then front and back swap ends. After realising my mistakes I would have loved another go at the 90 degree. I look forward to the next one hopefully with a new clutch first, I thought the drag strip had finished the car but it still got me home.

I'll be expecting a strongly-worded letter of complaint from the Cone Protection League in the post quite soon :D Good to see such an enthusiastic bunch, hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did. And Stu, the next time you let me past on a track day I'll be very aware of how polite you're being ;) ________ [URL="http://www.toyota-wiki.com/wiki/Toyota_Corolla_E30"]TOYOTA COROLLA E30[/URL]
