Still buzzing then Ian ????? Glad you had such a great time! How are your smokin' brakes?

[Skullfudge]

Yep agree with that, thanks for your efforts Worzel. Good stuff matey

A perfect way to spend an evening.

Nice to slowly learn who's who. Good chatting with you Anger. I always pictured you a the tall Swedish looking guy at the Pod that time lol. God knows who he was then ??
Glad you came and said hi Gary. Was good meeting you mate.

Thanks for your assistance Dyney . Good having you around mate

Who was in the Porsche 944 ? was it one of us ?
I hit Paddock Hill bend at a rate of knots, and at the apex I noticed the Porsche parked sideways across the bottom of the dip ! lol, nearly lost the P1 myself at that point.

[Hongkongfooi]

Very good evening...our 20 min session seemed to be over so quick! I was just getting into it and about to lap you all!

Yes Mate,

You've no idea what it takes for me to do something like this evening with my history.

Thanks for being my pace man it was just what the doc ordered.

Brakes are fine, (they do have a lot to do)

Thanks too, to Dyney for the advice..

[jay]

Had a great time today with you all so thanks.

Much nicer to track with a like minded bunch who all respect their cars and each other. We must all do it again as the more of us, the safer the action. Plus a bargain at this price!!

Look forward to the next one. Perhaps next time though more other halves....that way i am thinking bras...hot pants....thigh high boots etc for the photos......max power type pics.

Thanks again

Jay and Tracy

[Spooky]

Thanks for the efforts that went into organising this evening, it was great to see everyone together.

so when do we get to see the photo's then?

[Skullfudge]

Would anyone have that photographers website ??.

Thanks

Quality afternoon/eve.
The M3 lived up to my expectations, was superb.
Good job i only had one sesion as was getting too brave and tyres were starting to let go.
Clives car was fookin rapid, Dukeboys impressed me big time,C.J. hats off to you mate you were giving it plenty.
Angers car looks so sweet, white is so cool.

Crowman I would love to join you at The Ring but I have an event I can't get out of.

I will join you guys on the next one

[Steve_PPP]

cheers to everyone for coming along, was a great evening. Loads of fun had by all, and looking forward to doing one again at some point (after i've invested in some better brakes anyway!)

and i should probably say thanks to the mrs too, for standing around all evening taking photos of everyone whilst we went round and round Pics will be in a new thread tomorrow

No worries, but you owe me a lap or two next time....

Really good evening! From a spectators point of view, it was nice to see everybody giving each other a bit of space and a bit of respect - especially with the number of newbies on track. Good show guys!

I tried to get at least a few pics of everyone, although I think I only got pics of the back half of Clive's car cos I couldn't track that quickly!

[DukeBoy]

Top afternoon/evening, cheers for sorting that Steve
Car wasn't going to bad apart from brake fade about 3 laps into the first session, brake judder 2 laps into the second session. Oh well need an excuse for new discs.
Martyn the M3 was going very well , didn't really see anyone else going round but i'm sure you were are going well and enjoying it!!!

Well looked like we missed a good one My new oil pressure sender did not turn up in time and Jays has started a funny running hot problem on the way back from the school run.Just not are lucky day.

[SpecB]

Awesome evening and a really good introduction to tracking - Just make sure the full SES day is not a school day!

[Scott.T]

Great evening hats of to the guys for organising.
Best sounding car on track, defo Skullfudge and certain Mr Worzel... sounded Sweeeeeeet....
BRING ON THE RING... I hear him cry....

[majorscooby]

Was a good eve, nice to see evreyone again and catch up.
All the cars sounded sweet on the track but like crowman said was rather impressed with dukeboys, skullfudges and worzels, for me they really stood out as they went past!!!!!!!!!!!
Crowman you need to get a new system on yours, bit too quiet and stealthy!!

[C. J.]

Good evening ang a couple of bits added to the want list !

Dont know about fud but seen some thant i will order tonight

[WRX_Paul]

Great evening!! I will post up some videos when I get the chance

A big hats off to everyone for making this a really good first SES track event.

For starters, thanks to Nick and his team at ClubMSV, the day went like clockwork with no problems along the way. I know you may do it all the time, but it made our day go really smoothly. Looking at the responses above we all had a great time, so thanks

Secondly, I would like to give a massive pat on the back to the guys who came for the photos and stayed on to watch the rest of the day. It was great to see you all there for the duration. This must include all the wives, partners and friends who came along as passengers, photographers etc.

Finally to everyone who took part on track, a big thumbs up to you all No-one bit the bullet or had major problems and everyone seems to have had a really good day out at brands. Good job everyone.

As we said yesterday, this is the kind of thing that we want to do more of at SES and we will be looking to arrange something else for later in the year. This will probably be a half day open pit session (or similar) so this will be less restricted than the taster sessions. We will start looking into things when we get back from Germany. However, if you have any ideas for the future session, please let us know.

A great day, putting names and cars to faces, no traumas = Happy Days

[mrs faney]

thanks all for a good afternoon evening it was my first go out in the old girl she did ok i think except for when mr faney took her out and boiled the brake fluid and got the pads smoking and sparking so i have no brakes, but it was worth it and we dont have to go to cornwall in that damn astra

Yep, not the same as that lurverly flat 4.
Was mighty impressed with it none the less, would like to be shown just how the M3 should be driven by a pro.

Good to see him out in a proper car (instead of an old Datsun!!!)

Is it just me or has everyone got loads of melted tyre bits all over front of car.
Just taken bloomin ages to wash, remove and polish the car.

Mine was snotted in Rubber.

In fact.............. still is

[Steve_PPP]

yep, me too. My tyres have started to cook as well - each tread block has a melted ridge on the outside edge where its started to bead under the heat..... glad i used my old wheels/tyres now!

You should have wandered over and introduced yourself.

The guy who smashed wasn't one of our guys fortunately.

The black one is CJ's, it's a beasty for sure.

Yeah I had a noise issue. I was tested at 105.5.

I think the £20 note sticking out the exhaust pipe may have worked

Sounds about normal

[Skullfudge]

Rubber on cars mainly down to being off the natural race line.
80% of shredded rubber is normally on outside of corners.

I didn't have any on the P1, mind you mud flaps & a recent polish & wax will also prevent rubber from sticking to cars.

Mine was plastered due to some cock in a golf for 4 laps being all over the furkin place in front of me.

Have non on mine either but did not like to say
The £25 for instruction was well worth it

I certainly won't stay stuck up the rear of anyone again, it's a bloomin bore having to get all the bits off your car.

[DukeBoy]

Well i was behind someone for one session observing there driving and i don't have any on mine

You will never have any rubber issues following another car.
The only way to get rubber all over yer car is by collecting it yourself
