    You all looked very good out there, it was good to see older vauxhall's (Nova's especially) shaming a lot of newer and "better" cars. Well done.

    Well my day started at 6am, where i found my self replacing the dial temperature sender.
    That done i got all my stuff together and set off about 8am.
    After a nice enjoyable drive down the Foss way i arrived bit later then i wanted at around 10.15, so then rushed over to get my briefing etc, then i got ready to go on track, this ware it all started going wrong!
    I gave my pass to the first guy, he didn't noticed i had not been sound checked (i thought it was in pits like Donnington etc)
    So as i pull to a halt and depress the clutch "SNAP" at first i though the clutch peddle had broke but no it was the cable, so a quick run down the waiting que to Ernie see's me,Lee,Baxter changing my clutch cable in record time, then we sat waiting for ages as some Saab set on fire.
    As were called up to go (I'm struggling as the bite point was FLAT on the floor)
    the Marshall spots no noise test sticker! Grrr....

    So cut it short i owe Ernie one, and Craig Green's mate as he adjusted the clutch so it now works OK, then after i had calmed down from the annoyance and paranoia something els would brake i got on a session later (was meant to be with Adam, but got held back to the next)

    Car felt really good, needs better tyres for certain, but the diff makes a huge difference, as i felt no inside wheel spin at all, didn't under steer much either, just slid allot on the back end!

    Cracking day, top people as always, very eventful (but thats novas)
    And a awesome drive home back up the Foss (got home quicker )

    I'll post any pics/Vid's when i have sorted them.

    Scott

    Christ, hell of a day Scott.


    Dar... With a bit of speed blur..
    All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
    Far from suicidal
    Still I get them tendencies
    Bringing back them memories
    That I really miss when I reminisce
