I'll be there on the Sunday. Got a new guy trying out for the MR2 Championship so obviously I have to take my car out too!

:wink:

You coming Rowly? Maybe bring your turbo instead of the race car so you can at least keep up... :thumleft:

Pat, you do realise I'd confidently own your skinny a55 be it in my Challenge n/a or my turbo.

:wink:

I'm 50/50 at the moment buddy for this Sundays Trakzone event...

They don't let you block off the circuit on a trackday though. #-o

'kin ell mate :shock:

Just for sheer inconvenience, I'd have stuck with an MR2 :mrgreen:

Please pop over at least and introduce yourself. I know you've been to loads of BaT days, but I don't know if we have actually met yet. I'll be helping out on they day as general dogs body and pit lane-age :thumleft:

Will do. I'm in Bat6 and I'm sharing it with another guy, but i'll be the one with the matt black helmet. Its going to be quite a busy day for me as there's quite a few people there i need to speak to and it also the memorial day for Peter (PJL) but i'll try and pop over to say hello. But if you see me first in the BatCat, say hello.

I love my S2k, just seem to have been very unlucky. One of the 5 engines blew straight after fitment because the dealer messed up the install, and i suspect that the first engine that blew died because the pervious owner had over revved it. But i bought the current car new and have just been unlucky to have had a dodgy oil pump.

As i said, thank god for warranties!

Have to say - a really great day, despite our technical problems with SC belts/ignition/wheel bearings, really enjoyed the car.

Also - a really fitting tribute, and the sound of all of the VTECs on the grid :+: Kudos to the S2ki club for sorting it all out, the attendence really was impressive.

We normally get 20 ish cars at the days i organise. Today we got the same number of cars driving, and a similar number there to spectate.

Was a really good day. I spoke briefly to Garrick, missed ben and speedy.

Ben, did you have your mk3 turbo on track? looked like i saw you pulling out of the queue at the last red flag for a quick fuel top up.

Good to meet you eventually, Mr Lower. Glad you enjoyed your day out in BaT6 :thumleft:

It was a good day - I only got to out twice during the day and felt quite at home in the SC despite taking it fairly easy. But not complaining as I was actually working... LOL! :mrgreen:

I sat behind a blue mk1 for a couple of corners.

It drifted round the corner pretty well!

Was that you Garrick?

That may well have been speedy - he was out gooning in the afternoon (as the wheel bearing on the front offside was dodgy, so heavy braking was a bit troublesome -- easier to scrub the speed off by going sideways :thumleft: )

Nope...

As above really. I don't (RTA can't) drift 8-[
Maybe one day though after some Jonny tuition :mrgreen:
