SteveR Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Tis a great day, i thought more would be signing up, ive a couple non club member mates waiting to get on. I wonder if it's because people have had more notice this time. Next time I'll announce it with 3 weeks to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 It was great to see so many singles on track last year (edit - there were 7!), I hadn't realised there were that many in existance! The short tight layout meant the NAs weren't that far behind, too*. I know AlexM in his NA overtook a TT which pleased him greatly.

Cant say I noticed it on mine but that was more down to the fact I managed to turn 6 laps before the brakes let go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Dont want to miss this, will check the calender. Hopefully Gaz will make it too. It seems singles are a little common in us lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_have Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I'm hoping to be around for this, my son started kart racing this year and is doing quite well so far,so will have to prioritize nearer the time (if there are spaces left) Have to say, after doing Marham/Brands/SilverstoneGP/castlecombe last year, enjoyed Llandow the most.Great track, great atmosphere and superbly organised. Will be gutted if I can't make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be gutted if I can't make it.[/quote'] Thanks for posting that up, it means a lot that people enjoyed the day so much. I know what you mean too, I kept going out with various different passengers and coming back in after 10~15 laps thinking I'd give the car a while to cool down, but firing it back up again 5 mins later and doing it all over again... and again. It was really addictive and i loved trying different lines through the main complex bits through/after the bus stop. Quite a technical little track, but accessible to all levels/experience.

vvteye Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 And there was me just giving it wellie... didn't realise there was a method behind all that madness This had to be the best supra day I've experienced so far and I can't wait for this one to come along. Anyone who hasn't done this before I strongly advise you to try it. If nothing else it gives you a chance to test out the limits of the car and prepares you better for those 'nearly' times on the road. I personally was a better driver after the experience thought the police probably wouldn't think so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Totally gutted I couldnt make it last year, but waiting until 1st March to sign up as I'll be bringing the R32.....probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ark Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Jo and I plan to be there - just waiting for the non-members cut-off date to sign up (because she's stingy and won't pay her £10 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 Totally gutted I couldnt make it last year, but waiting until 1st March to sign up as I'll be bringing the R32.....probably Good lad. Make sure you can make it this time, too! I want to see this Skyline beast of yours! This had to be the best supra day I've experienced so far... Yey! ..and I can't wait for this one to come along. Anyone who hasn't done this before I strongly advise you to try it. If nothing else it gives you a chance to test out the limits of the car and prepares you better for those 'nearly' times on the road. I personally was a better driver after the experience thought the police probably wouldn't think so I was much more confident/had more ability after the day than I was/had before. Certainly people should start slow and gradually build their speed, there isn't much run-off round the back of the track but the "oh-shi! lane" was great backup when testing late braking and what happens if I turn-in still under brakes? Me too Jamie, me too. New rad cap, new water pump.. I shall be untouchable! psml best post evar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fearless Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Paypal sent Even though I tore off half the front bumper I had a great time last year, so I have brought a nice tidy manual N/A just for track days. Seems a bit tame after my single but will be good to get a bit more track experience this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogmaw Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 My mate in Swansea who put me up last year is away this year so looks like it'll be the Travelodge. I see the rate has gone up to 39 quid! Is there a pub nearby? If so then there's a good excuse to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was bad enough driving on the Saturday last year as it is We were kicked out of the bar at about 11:30pm last year, which I gathered was much later than the staff usually liked to go home.

Fearless Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I'm still not sure how you came off mid-straight? It wasn't mid straight, I just gave it a bit too much throttle coming out of the last corner before the straight, started to go sideways and by the time I corrected it I was on the grass verge. I drove along the verge most of the way back because I didn't want to drop debris on the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
