The show was shite, out potentially very good stand was ruined by someone parking a massive race home badly in the middle of it. Wasn't that big and it wasn't in the middle. It wasn't really an issue for us. Lack of organisation however was.
The VIP was a rip off there was more knobbers on track than ever, Wasn't a single crash this year to my knowledge. All of the track i saw was very sensible
there was less cars than last year, lest exhibitors, less to see just shite. I'm not going at all next year.

The rallye is broken and tomorrow is going to be just a parade lap and nothing else. The supposed VIP BBQ isn't happening tomorrow It did happen. Or you had the choice of a fry up which i think most of us went for.
and it's just going to be shit.


Oh and whoever picked best club was blind or bribed. I'm not saying we were the best, there were other good stands but none of the good ones were mentioned, the 3 winners all just looked like car parks Does it matter? As a club we could of made a lot more of a effort if we wanted to win a prize like that. Personally, it doesn't bother me unless thats what the members want.

you mean the show itself is lame.... but the track time and people is totally worth it.

I did have fun in my few laps having my entry speeds far too low but being fast enough down the straights that I was pulling away from most stuff behind till they caught me braking again.

Personally I like the show. I don't care about all the hog roasts, VIP treatment and shit, nor do I care for the competitions. I like hanging around with people who I have come to see as friends, eyeing up lots of quirky modified French cars, and then tanking it round the track. On all of those points this weekend was a massive win.

Everyone needs to chill!

We all had a laugh on the Sunday so you Defo missed out

Tbh I know how he feels when it came to the track time, I was fuming about the gti6 but luckily I had the sigma in the end and still had fun on track.
But the show is shit, when it was at donnington it was brilliant!
I think it was track time and camping that made the show for me, the rest was poor.

Yes I will be going again next year!

If I'm ever there grab a passenger ride, it takes a fair few laps to learn the braking points but makes a huge difference to the overall lap. I still love it and I must be way over a thousand laps now

I only come to meet up with you bumders and get drunk and maybe razz the car about.

I am massively grateful to Matt for the offer of use of his car but I couldn't take an unfamiliar car round the track and risk damaging it especially one so valuable and I hear that threw a wobbly on the parade lap so I'm glad I didn't. Matt couldn't take it out as he didn't have a drivers band so I gave what was left of the track time to the first person who I saw on the stand who I knew had a drivers band. I am also massively grateful to everybody who helped me get on track in the first place, those who got photos of my car in the few laps I did and those who have offered help fixing the car and have done me discounted parts especially Chris Manning for a refurbished caliper for £20 and Stuart at my local Pug dealers for continuing to do me parts on trade.

Also yes I was f*cked off, you'd be f*cked off too. I was more f*cked off with myself than I was with the car (although in the 8/9 laps I did I think I also killed a drive shaft) but in the years that they have been doing Sunday it has always been rubbish, yeah it's great spending more time with you guys but everyone ends up being so tired and flat from sun burn and 2 nights of partying hard.

I've got no regrets in leaving early and missing Sunday.

We'd done more than 4, think we were on 6 or more and I had been hurling into a dustbin less than an hour prior and it was all too much for my tiny little skull as I'm not a good passenger anyway. Control freak LOL.

You are one hell of a driver, I've been out with people who've been faster (even on the road) but never so spot on the limit through every single corner, totally in awe of your skills man.
