All ready to go. Been fettling the car today, hoping for my first dry day with the Ohlins.

Don’t hold your breath for dry weather - BBC seems to suggest quite a lot of
I’ve been away all weekend, not even given the car a wash yet.
Check this out from Google Maps…
An exact imprint of the circuit in a grey area to the NW of the circuit. Have they made a karting version?
Apparently it is used for events like press car days.
Anyways, drying later 
Yeah Baby!!!

Con did you book the curry and school girls

Curry booked but not sure about the availablity of the school girls
Just back.
What a circuit, loved it. Scary in the wet, will look forward to going back for a full day in the dry.
Good to see everyone again, not much time to natter as track time is limited. Couldn’t stay for curry
Mnnnn chicken Jalfrezi top curry
First time for donny in wet - well except for last October’s 4pm Monsoon that only pete757, Steve E and Will were brave enough to venture out in.
Some good sessions although the noise police did spoil it a little although to be fair the guy was rather accomodating and certainey more than he should have been.
last few sessions between 8 and 8.30 were very good with the track drying out. Not sure about the melbourne loop though - national is better IMHO.

Doh missed the curry and only just got home (1:30am). Only this morning I agreed with John that he would trailer my car to JSRacing for a bit of fettling after the session. Bit of a change of plan because Graham’s car had a small fire (probably driveshaft) - I hope it all turns out ok Graham. His car went on the trailer and I drove my car to JSRacing trying to keep up with Sean 
Missed my train by 2mins and then had to wait an hour Credit to the ticket office bloke though who made me a cuppa while I waited
Only my second time at Donny and the first time in the wet. Before 8ish it was very slippery and I was messing about a bit too much. I’m with Con, I prefer the National circuit - the Melbourne loop is a bit pants and with everyone standing there watching the temptation to showboat was,…well 
Great to see everyone anyways,…if my car is back together I hope to back there on the 27th.

I will be back there on the 27th. [/quote]
Good man !
Yea, Had a fantastic evening, It was really slippery to start with, Just couldn’t get the front to grip mid corner so was using the power to kick the back end out to get it round the corners. Just need to find out if the guy with the camera on the outside of Redgate was able to catch me when I had a slight moment of mahoosive oversteer 
and got it all squermy. I put it down to the 48’s that were nearly destroyed at Brunty last weekend and were on last night to finish them off, needless to say they were not that grippy until the track dried out. but i did get a blinder of a last run in just as the sun was going down behind the trees. Followed but a ruby and a pint…top stuff
Steve.
Steve - good job it’s the old fella’s car
Yeah was a great night and I was just watching. Was a shame we didn’t make the curry.
Glad you enjoyed some Brummie British rail hospitality there Ben. I guess we should of driven faster home, our average of about 100mph didn’t quite manage it.
Was great to see everyone.
Sean…
Well, bit of a mixed night. Enjoyed the car in the wet early on and was going well as the track dried, up until the point the car filled with smoke going down craners 
Remembering what was said in the drivers briefing that if you have a problem with your car stop next to a marshal post, which we did on Starkey’s Stright. All credit to the marshal got the fire out straight away.
A big thanks to Sean, John and Neill for cleaning the engine bay of powder, i was a bit useless at that point And thanks also to Sean and John for getting the car safely back to their workshop, sorry Ben! A lift home with marc p up the M6 was sorted by Damon i think. Big thanks to all who helped out, a great bunch of lads!
Hope all’s okay Graham, & as you say, well done to “the gang” who helped out.
Hope everything works out and thanks to Marcp for agreeing to take you.
I span Just a gentle one
Secret fettling !!??
Were the brakes ok matey?
Yes Dave - the brakes are much much better thanks to JSRacing - cheers John They were only really exercised during the final session because it was so damp beforehand. Real result though
It’s back at JSRacing now to have a DC5 manifold fitted. One of the bolts on the CTR manifold had failed and since it needed fixing I thought I’d take the opportunity. A few more ponies may get liberated in the process which should help to bridge the talent void Once that’s done then I really only need to work on the bit between the seat and the steering wheel…and stop hooning.
You would have been proud of your countrymen at the station Sean,…really top Brummie blokes ‘Yoi wanna cop o’ toi moi moite’ I worked out translated to ‘would you like a cup of tea my mate’ Also don’t forget my speedo is bust so I thought we were doing 0mph all the way back
DC5 - hope the "Noise Police don’t take offence???
I know I know Rob - we’ll fit it and see I guess. If I make it for the 27th I’ll try and get a noise reading (even though it’s a noisy day).
